Does a story exploring dark topic make it well written??

I'm not going to go indepth about my personal feelings about harada as a writer, I'll just say i'm not a fan but i am curious is exploring dark themes on its own an achievement in writing, going past what most people are comfortable writing and reading? Or does the fact those dark themes aren't written with the proper care make the writing bad?
