It's often the case that the most difficult conversations to have — at both a personal level and as a societal collective — are also the most important.
Such is the case in "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," Investigation Discovery's groundbreaking docuseries that illuminates allegations of systemic toxicity and abuse at children's television channel, Nickelodeon. Chief among those were claims leveled at Dan Schneider, the mind behind some of Nickelodeon's most popular shows, by former cast members and staffers. Separate from Schneider's behavior, "Quiet on Set" marked the first time former child actor Drake Bell publicly shared how he was sexually assaulted by Nickelodeon dialogue and acting coach Brian Peck when he was 15 years old, opening the door for critical conversations about innately hierarchical power structures between children and adults (and sometimes, interadult manipulation as well.)
