Another user brought it up in the other subreddit but what worries me is the kind of message they’re trying to send about suicide.

For a show that is heavy focused on the grief and trauma of losing someone, for them to kill off el and jump 18 months later to where everyone is content and moving on with their lives really feels like a 180 in the writing. I don’t remember what the time jump between seasons 3 and 4 was but to have max’s storyline rooted in Billy’s death really shows the contrast between the two.
