The Reddit user, u/MrsBeaumont, asked "Degrassi: The Next Generation" fans to share episodes they do not rewatch on the r/Degrassi subreddit. Some commenters shared that they found Season 6, Episode 11 ("Rock This Town"), which focuses on the murder of J.T. Yorke (Ryan Cooley), difficult to enjoy. Another user noted that they did not like how J.T.'s girlfriend Mia Jones (Nina Dobrev) spoke to the mother of his child, Liberty Van Zandt (Sarah Barrable-Tishauer), following his death. "I hurt so badly for Liberty when Mia tries to make it all about her and tells Liberty that J.T. hated her and shows the video of J.T. bonding with her daughter when his son with Liberty was placed for adoption. Mia completely dismissed Liberty as having any importance in his life," said u/rachelvioleta.

Other fans shared that they were not interested in revisiting Season 4, Episode 8 ("Time Stands Still"), where Rick Murray (Ephraim Todd Ellis) is publically humiliated by his peers after he physically abused his ex-girlfriend. As fans are aware, this culminates in the school shooting that paralyzes basketball player Jimmy Brooks, played by Drake.
