After the surprising death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), no one was sure what would happen to Gone Too Far, his MTV documentary about addiction. Would it be wrong to air it, since it was discovered that he was abusing drugs? Or is it a cautionary tale that could encourage others to seek treatment? Your feelings were mixed, although a small majority of you thought the network should continue on with the program. After receiving the blessing of his family, MTV finally premieres the eight-episode series tonight.
The show follows AM as he stages interventions with friends and relatives of young twenty-somethings using heroin and other drugs. It's a tough topic to cover — especially given the surrounding circumstances — but judging by the trailer, it looks like MTV handles it with the appropriate respect. The footage actually gave me a few goosebumps — it's eerie to see Goldstein helping others overcome the problems that led to his own demise.
Will you watch? It airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT, but until then check out the video for the trailer when you read more.

It was difficult to watch. Hard to see him try to help people knowing that he ultimately succumbed to the disease. I cried, yuck.
1It was very moving and a reality check on how powerful drugs are. He was a very giving person and I respect him for that , excellent work , graphic show but yet opened my eyes that it could happen to anyone at times it was so sick to see someone so hooked but its life and its happening all around us. excellent work.
2it was the best show... i remember my sister ashlee everytime i watch ittt.. she died of a herion and methodone overdose in august, she was my step sister.
