Season 1 Review: Langford and Minnette are the magnetic core of this drama. Separately and together, they have a dynamic chemistry that glows when they share the screen and energizes their scenes with others. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In a sense, 13 Reasons Why turns its audience into voyeuristic bystanders as well. Yet while Hannah's fate isn't pleasant, as presented in this enticing, slickly constructed package, it's hard to look away. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Clay’s conduct sometimes borders on the insufferable. And while Hannah’s traumas are authentically dramatized, she’s forced to endure so many indignities that, in total, she occasionally comes across as a symbolic vessel for an important message, rather than a flesh-and-blood human being. Fortunately, Langford’s wounded-yet-bold lead performance is altogether charming, and Minnette is equally credible. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The encore, alas, can't replicate that appeal, detouring into courtroom drama in a manner that provides far fewer reasons to watch or binge. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Season 2 is a worthy attempt at a do-over, if a flawed one. That’s until the final episode, when a plotline that’s been building over the past 12 episodes turns into a charged confrontation that undermines everything 13 Reasons Why has spent its second season doing.

Season 2 Review: The Netflix teen drama’s second season is occasionally arresting, but wholly unnecessary. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The third season of 13 Reasons Why is a ridiculous, maddening, overlong example of Peak TV-era television that doesn’t know how to quit when it’s ahead. It irritated me to no end. Read full review

The show covers issues that are difficult to talk about, problematic that teenagers live today. Also, the soundtrack is very beautiful. An incredible performance by the actors, a very good editing. And above all, a series that makes us reflect, that makes us nostalgic, that makes us open our eyes on many aspects. It is a very deep series, difficult to watch, but it makes us realize many things.
Without a doubt, an exceptional job.… Expand

Each season is different, each season adds something new. However these are hit and miss. Some great acting and very emotional and real scenes. Sometimes you have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy the show and stop it from becoming insufferable. Great themes are brought up and not always taken care of well, but at least the show had the courage to show them. In my opinion only watch seasons 1 and 4. The only good seasons.… Expand
