    2. Hannah wasn't believable as a suicide victim. She was too pretty, too popular, too smart, and far too insightful. In high school that covers a lot of bases.
    3. There was some terrible acting from some of the students and especially by Clay's mom. Plus, I dreaded when Hannah's mom (normally a good actor) came on screen with her repetitive, overwrought whiny face.
    4. On what basis would Hannah's parents sue the school? They had no idea there was anything that could have been the school's fault, and in fact would be just as likely or more likely, to blame themselves.    … Expand

    i really think this tv show is well made and very emotional and most of the people saying that it talks about a real problem and it gives a really good message to the society but i also think that this scenario gives a wrong message too . because anything that happened in the series is something that any person in the world could have face , and everyone can make mistakes in their lifei really think this tv show is well made and very emotional and most of the people saying that it talks about a real problem and it gives a really good message to the society but i also think that this scenario gives a wrong message too . because anything that happened in the series is something that any person in the world could have face , and everyone can make mistakes in their life especially when you are a teenager.. its not a good message that someone must kill themself to punish all the others , a persons life is their own matter and responsibility if someone for instance hanah really wanted to make her life beautiful she could have done it with countless ways . except of that just choses to kill herself and make a leaving hell for anyone who ever loved her.. when other kids has not even food to eat and a bed to sleep but they keep fighting because thats how life is.. anw i really enjoyed this show but i just really dont think this gives a really good example to the world.. i also fell offended because me personally have clinical depression for years and i have lost almost everything.. and this show hurt me because it shows that healthy people make huge drama about their own little problems but they cant see the people who really suffers and dying every day all around the globe… Expand

    Pretty much the entire show in a nutshell:

    Hannah: Hey guys Im dead (by suicide) but I made a bunch of tapes blaming other people for my death Clay: Guess I'll listen to these tapes at the slowest pace possible instead of listening to them all at once like a normal person. One of the classmates who are on the tapes: Hey clay Clay: Screw you, you evil monster! You killed her!    Pretty much the entire show in a nutshell:

    Hannah: Hey guys Im dead (by suicide) but I made a bunch of tapes blaming other people for my death

    Clay: Guess I'll listen to these tapes at the slowest pace possible instead of listening to them all at once like a normal person.

    One of the classmates who are on the tapes: Hey clay

    Clay: Screw you, you evil monster! You killed her! She's dead because of you!

    Ghost of Hannah: You were one of the reasons why i killed myself Clay because you didn't tell me you loved me even after I yelled at you and told you to leave

    Clay: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    Moral of the show: Anyone who is being bullied or harrassed should commit suicide and make said tormentors feel as guilty as possible for it (note the obvious sarcasm).

    Not a good message to send to kids, 13 reasons why. And that scene where Hannah slits her wrists is just nauseating, I don't know what the writers were hoping to accomplish by showing us that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to share the same view as most of the people but i can't like this TV Serie that much. They squeezed her death so much that i was expecting something more heartbreaking or unexpected in the end. Dylan Minnette had one of the best performances i've seen in this type of show and deserves an high credit for most people's positive valuation. But i was dissapointed on his character's reason on her death. I mean, everybody was saying to Clay that his tape was yet to come in the first episodes and once it comes there is nothing wrong or meaningful. I'm still going to watch the final 2 episodes but i'm not expecting something that big to change my score. This long hours could be transformed in a movie about it to make it more worth. Not that much content for so many episodes.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a TV show, a piece of media meant for entertainment, I think this is a fantastic show. It was well written, it had excellent pacing, and it really captured the audience with all the things going on with Hannah, Clay, and all the other people in the show. It did a really good job of switching between past and present. Hell, I didn't even realize Jeff wasn't in any of the "present day" periods until the episode where he died. And then when I finally realized it, I was thinking about how he's probably going to die. Then it happened. It had a hook.

    As a mental health professional, there are a lot of unsettling things I saw here. I do believe it glorified suicide and romanticized the way someone goes through things in life to get to that point. It showed, graphically, the actual suicide. As someone that has seen a suicide and works in this field every day, it still made me cringe. That scene really got to me. There were also just so many times where I found myself shaking my head. The school counselor, for one, don't even get me started. There were so many places where an obvious conversation could have been had, because I've seen those happen. Am I saying it happens all the time? No. There are some truly tragic cases where the person who kills themselves tries everything and there isn't an opportunity for that help to come through. This wasn't one of them. It felt like those conversations that could have sparked Hannah getting help were forcefully passed over. Maybe people don't come into this kind of a show with the perspective that I have. But so many times I found myself thinking "could have said something there, could have intervened there." It just doesn't feel authentic in any way.

    Also not a fan of how they left themselves open to what seems like a school shooter season 2. There are plenty of great documentaries to address that issue, and the issues of teenage depression and struggles. I just don't think this show does a good job at that.

Such a romantic scene, isn't it? Literature pictures a lot of these scenes!).

    To a teenager who is suffering bullying at school, who is having troubles at home, who has been raped, it can be a trigger to solve their problems. Unfortunately, the series doesn't come with hope. Hannah went to every place possible to get help. Even at school they didn't cared. This is not how school or any place should be portrayed. There are some serious professionals at schools who really care about the kids and want to help. Plus, the attempt of trowing everything on the back of other teenagers, who had problems just like her (or worse, maybe, we can't judge feelings and problems size) is not a way to put the things.

    Suicide is not romantic. Bullying is not romantic. Rape is not romantic. It shouldn't be pictured in the way it was. In my Facebook timeline there are a lot of suicide news, which came just after this series. I don't think it is only a big, giant coincidence. BTW, I live in Brazil. Lots of people here (and just not here) are extremely influenced by these kind of shows.    … Expand

Netflix strikes another time with a teenager drama show and its definitively a huge disappointment. Watching the show was a really harmful experiences and not because the drama in it. 13 Reasons Why recruits a bunch of barely unfriendly characters and creates an atmosphere of pity. But the huge disappointment gotta be Hannah Baker, the lack of empathy to Hannah was humongous, the show runners and writers surely thought that just because it deals with "all day lifestyle" was going to be good and attractive but it wasn't. Also they filled every episode with cliches and sometimes the dialog felt kind of repetitive and obscene. Yes the words that teenagers use but it seems that the writers gave up with just a few words and they were overused. Useless characters also hurt the show. I am talking to you Tony. Even though he was such a pivotal role to the storyline the script managed to make the character even useless giving him no actual backstory with Hannah more that just giving her the tapes. He was everywhere when the story needed him and it mostly didn't work. Ryan Shaver, Marcus Cole, Montgomery and Jeff were useful just to add a dull backstory and to supply more reasons to Hannah to kill herself, but they never felt actually painful. Hannah had such immaturity to serve the purpose to commit suicide, i never felt bad for her, and the actions weren't executed well to understand the pain of Hannah. Although the show had some highlights and they are Episode 1 and Episode 13, i really liked the first chapter, i was engaged with the story, there were some elements that i loved and it really promised something. The last chapter had great momentum with nice editing and soundtrack selection. But there were more lowlights for sure. 11 episodes that i can only describe my experience with this words, woeful and horrifying. The show in overall had great editing, decent performances and nice soundtrack. At the end i didn't have a great experience watching "13 Reasons Why" and that' why i do not recommend the show. I'll give this a 54 out of 100 and i am being really kind.
    I forgot to actually talk about Clay, he was the most okay thing of the season, i felt sorry for him but i also the most part of the time i didn't feel that Clay was actually in pain.    … Expand

    13 Caps. (Netflix)

    13 Reasons Why es una serie que me obliga a romper un largo silencio en cuanto a cosas que veo. Lo primero que hay que entender con esta miniserie es que hay que tener mucho cuidado con a quién se la recomienda uno... es muy muy muy irresponsable decirle a todo el mundo que la mire. La serie en sí tilda tantas casillas en 'cosas que uno creando contenido no debería hacer nunca' que la convierte en munición para estupideces.

    Si vivieramos en un mundo donde pudieramos garantizar que nuestros hijos (o personas en un estado cercano a depresivo) no tienen acceso a esta clase de contenido sería mucho más simple hacer un análisis de la miniserie pero creo que el contenido es tán sensible´que es imposible separar lo uno de lo otro y más viviendo en una época dónde haciendo una búsqueda en google y dando tres clicks podés mirar lo que querés. El problema más grande de 13 Reasons Why es que depende del contexto de cada uno se le pueden dar interpretaciones muy oscuras.

    Básicamente 13 Reasons Why es acerca de una adolescente que tiene mucha mala leche, toma las peores decisiones posibles cada vez que se le presentan, nunca aprende de ninguno de sus errores, no sabe como pedir ayuda y aunque se arroja a situaciones de mierda una y otra vez cuando debería poner los huevos sobre la mesa con la única persona de la serie que vale la pena nunca dá un paso adelante.

    Más allá de las circunstancias, la vida de Hanna es una caricatura de todo lo malo que le puede pasar a una persona. Tan así que mientras miraba la serie no podía parar de imaginarme a quién quiera haya sido que escribió el libro en la misma situación que George Lucas con Indiana Jones en aquel memorable capítulo de South Park en que se lo viola arriba de un Pinball. Lo que hace este tipo con Hanna es una falta de respeto, se siente sadismo literario.

    Pero lo peor de lo peor es que la venganza de Hanna a través del suicidio es eficaz. El suicidio como método de castigo no debería jamás verse glorificado de la manera en que se vé en esta serie. Absolutamente todo lo malo que pasa cuando Hanna está viva se vé misteriosamente encarrilado después de que ella muere y aunque se podría decir que Clay es el ejecutor de su voluntad el plan sigue siendo el de Hanna y el suicidio el catalizador. Sin ir más lejos Clay, gracias a la muerte de Hanna, encuentra su redención y lugar en la sociedad... como verán es un concepto muy peligroso para exponer ante gente que puede llegar a estar pasando por un mal momento.

    Hanna hace tantas cosas mal que es muy díficil simpatizar con ella y encima las expectativas que tiene de la gente son totalmente irreales... por momentos pareciera que pretende que la gente que tiene alrededor (en especial Clay) le lean la mente y que actuén completamente fuera de carácter para complacerla. Ni hablar que algunos de los tapes son boludeces, en particular el de Clay, el chabón que le publicó el poema y el otro que le robaba los conejitos de la bolsa de papel.

    El autor también introduce la idea de que Hanna podría estar mintiendo cuando dice que lo vió a Zach tirar el papel, pero él todavía lo tiene y se lo muestra a Clay. Después de introducir esa idea no hace absolutamente nada con eso pero una de las escenas más claves es al final con Bryce y curiosamente es una escena donde ella es la única testigo y... ¿Se supone que le tenemos que creer 100%? Hanna quería que Bryce pague por lo que le hizo a Jess... ¿Quizás eso fué todo parte del plan? No hay mejor mentira que una que está rodeada de verdades pero lo cierto es que no sabemos porque EL PUTO AUTOR NO NOS CUENTA AL FINAL.

    Otra cosita más... quiero creer que aunque la muerte de la piba haya sido suicidio la policía científica hubiera encontrado los moretones y la evidencia de violación o al menos hubiera habido algún tipo de sospecha... se le ven claramente las marcas de los dedos en la espalda a la minita. Bleh... y Tony ni hablemos de Tony que empieza siendo un character re copado y después decepciona completamente... y Jeff... Jeff merecía otro final, hijo de puta.    … Expand

    I think the subject matter weighs up the rating for this series, as opposed to the actual quality of the show. It's not bad since I kept watching, mostly to find out the reasons behind why these kids got sent the cassette tapes, but in the end I found myself wondering why most of them were even dragged into it or why they were so dramatic as to what was on the tapes.

It's not bad since I kept watching, mostly to find out the reasons behind why these kids got sent the cassette tapes, but in the end I found myself wondering why most of them were even dragged into it or why they were so dramatic as to what was on the tapes. (not much for most)

    By the by, cassette tapes? Do children even know these things exist? I'm surprised that 1) they know what these things are, and 2) that they each apparantly had some sort of cassette player available to listen to the tapes. Or did they all borrow the walkman from hip latino guy in a leather coat who thinks cassettes 'sound better'? Which nobody who ever listened to cassettes would say.

    It's a tv show, so I can understand not everything has to make total sense. But that one bugged me a little. Anyway, the mystery surrounding the reasons why all these characters has a hand in the suicide of Hannah is the main pull of the show. However as mentioned, the mysteries fall flat for many of these kids. That you are left to wonder why they are so worried about the tapes going public.

    For one of the characters the reason is simply, you stopped being my friend...... Oh nooo, can't let that go public. We must stop the main character who keeps asking everybody what's on the tapes (as opposed to, oh I don't know, actually listen to the tapes yourself to find out) from making too much noise. Or people will find out. The humanity.

    That the girl who committed suicide sounds all happy and chipper on the tapes, which is at a time where she already decided to kill herself, surprises no one? At the end, after the "big reveal", she even makes it a sort of game to find out if the counselor would follow her out of the door. I actually thought he was the one who did what happened to her, because of the way the children acted towards him during the season after they heard the tapes. And then we find out he didn't really do much either to warrant the contempt, especially since she's the one who told him that she wouldn't press charges which basically tied his hands.

    If this was a CW show, I wouldn't have been surprised. Considering it's from Netflix and has high ratings, I was however expecting a much better production than what I just watched. Don't get your expectations high, and it's still an ok show though. With some questionable characterisations.    … Expand

    Primero que todo, la gente se pone ultra exagerada al ver que tocaran temas de suicidio y violaciones, sobretodo, Netflix exagera también que con sus avisos que ponen antes de ver los 3 capítulos más fuertes (por dios gente, he visto hentais más traumaticos que ver al tipo precoz que se viene tan rápido con sus violaciones en la chicas que hay en esta obra). Es más, aquí los personajes me caen del culo, todos ellos, incluso el prota principal, es como ver de nuevo el mismo elenco para una serie de American Horror History, solamente lo hacen sad, sad y más sad por que son adolescentes que sufren en su etapa más precoz y "miserable" de su vida. Incluso, el personaje de Clay interrumpe las cintas en momentos muy absurdos, sacando excusas muy absurdas también, ya que no soporta ver si es verdad o mentira lo que esta diciendo la chica principal en la grabaciones, sabiendo que uno de los personajes, se escucho todas las cintas en una sola noche (te lo mencionan en la propia serie, hasta creo que fueron dos personajes).

    Pero que fue lo que me gusto aquí, la manera en como estructuraron la historia, hay veces que la edición no ayuda cuando pasan de una escena a otra, pero quitando ese aspecto de lado, la propia idea de poner 13 capítulos de las 13 razones del porque Hannah se suicido es creativa para el espectador, tomando incluso su buen tiempo para entender los propósitos de cada personaje. Y lo que salva la serie como ya he dicho anteriormente, son sus últimos capítulos, son los últimos momentos que hace que la serie sea tan especial. Así que, si son de mente abierta, véanla sin miedo, y ahí deciden si verán su segunda temporada, ya que esto no es para todos, pero hace su esfuerzo para que la comunidad la valore con lo que quiere contar.    … Expand

    Sensitive topics that most teenagers face brought to light in a well-made not overly preaching or surrounded by a dark & depressing atmosphere.
    The acting is good, the screenplay keeps you hooked till the end of the series although some minor plot issues. I think a season 2 is unnecessary but I am curious to know if it can be as good or better when released.

    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.
