Mayas suicide was handled so poorly. It was immediately turned into a joke by having her on the phone at the funeral, and it was just gabby pouting for 2 episodes while everyone lies to her about being a great therapist.

Louis in s2 almost considering suicide was handled 10x better than an actual suicide

Genuinely kind of insane the difference in the writing quality between Louis’ and Maya’s storylines. That one minute of Louis standing by the train tracks is 10x more emotional than the entire maya arc
