    While I was watching I was thinking - this is absolutely brilliant TV. However, by then end of it, I was thinking - that was so powerful and emotional to watch. I could barely watch the final few episodes, because I was so engrossed in the story and it does becomes quite graphic. I will say no more.

    Easily the best TV series I have watched in many many years, and an absolute must watch show.

    If you've ever experienced what it's like to know someone close to you that has committed suicide, this is the TV series you've been waiting for. It's brutally honest, and it doesn't feel at all melodramatic. I was so afraid that this was going to end being a "typical teenage bs drama."

    As a mother of two daughters and a future public school teacher, this movie really hit close to home. I didn't expect to become some interested in this series, but it had me hooked after the first episode. I watched the entire season in less than a week, and for a person who normally doesn't ever watch television, that's a big deal.
    The each episode was so detailed and it always kept my attention. The message behind this show was very eye-opening for parents, teachers, students, and just everyone in general. We can all learn something from 13 Reasons Why. I'm not going to lie, but this show truly terrified me. It changed the way I look at others, and it makes me think twice before I say anything. It also made me think twice before I thought about not saying anything as well.
    As a parent, it's hard to tell that there are any issues with our children, no matter how close the relationship. I can say this from my own teenage experience. My daughters are close to me, and I try to make sure to keep an open and positive relationship with them. Even with the openness and giving them the ability to come to me for anything, they still keep secrets from me. It's just how it will always be. I don't know how to change that, but I will continue to love them and show them how much they mean to me regardless of their mistakes and imperfections.
    As teacher, this opens my eyes to be able to see and recognize when students are feeling like they have nothing else to live for. I want to be the teacher who has that good rapport with the students, and I can say that I have a good relationship with them. I want to be able to make a change in their lives and show them their worth because they are important.
    I have lived this life in high school, and I remember how hard it can be. I dealt with it by ignoring it and making fun of it. I also remember making others feel bad because I felt bad. That is how I coped with things.. I want to teach my own children and students to be respectful and caring of each other because we all deserve it.
    I know this post is a lot, but I hope that this show can open the eyes of others like it has mine. If we could all see, understand, and treat others better just by simply watching 13 Reasons Why than why not. I would recommend this show to friends, parents, teachers, and older teens for sure.

    A steady 13-episode descent into grief and emotional confusion, 13 Reasons Why is an honorably mature piece of young-adult adaptation, fleshing out Jay Asher's well-regarded novel in a way that allows its cold-hearted high-school environment to breathe while revolving around tremendous lead turns by Dylan Minnette and particularly Australian newcomer Katherine Langford

    Thumbs up for decent wring and well-cast 2 main characters, but does not reach potential. Thumbs down: repetitive and meandering middle of season episodes, 26 year olds cast as high school sophomores, ripped-from-the-headlines storyline and check-the-box for every teen malady imaginable.

    Well written overall, and the acting was surprisingly good given the young cast. Other tween shows should take note that teens can act and they have no excuse for producing bad shows/movies even if teens are the main subjects.

    The story is in the summary of the show, a girl kills herself and leaves behind tapes to tell people why she did. Its not as political as some reviewers make it out to be, certainly I did not feel very moved by this story but it was depicted in a believable way. The girl was flawed, very flawed, and she was placed in a an environment that was toxic which only made her spiral out of control. It can happen and teens, being irrational doorknobs, can come to the same conclusion as the girl. Ive seen bullying as depicted in this show and I have experienced it so I know its true or at least was 20 years ago. My sister in high school today does not seem thrilled with the experience either so I assume things like this still happen albeit (hopefully) not as frequently.

    It is a fairly depressing show overall. So if you are not into that sort of thing, definitely skip this. Most of the characters are not likable but that is intentional as many teens are not likable (to an adult). Some of them are, I certainly related to the protagonist who brought back a lot memories of my own experiences which is probably what this show is all about. The suicide stuff was central, but again, the show didnt really take sides except to say that we as people need to treat each other better. There is nothing wrong with this message.

    Give it a go if you get the chance. I am curious what they plan to do for season 2 though I suppose they did place some hints here and there.

    But I want to talk about how amazing it is as a show.
    First and the most important feat of any show - it keeps you hooked. You want to know what's next, you HAVE to.
    Second - actors. It probably depends on a viewer, but I felt like they did their job amazingly well: no character felt unnatural or without depth. I really appreciate that they actually went through with showing a lot more than I would like to see in some scenes.
    And on that topic, the credits are of course due to writers and directors. They got great material in the form of a book and they transformed it into very powerful, stunning scenes in the show.

    I would ramble more how great it is technically but I don't really know much about making shows so I'll just stop myself there. I will however say something from an emotional point of view.

    It was a brutal, but a beautiful experience. Watching this show basically put me out of my regular life for 3 days. It made me think a lot about my own life and all lives around me. It really was a mind and heart opening experience. I really recommend it to everyone.

In some instances, Throughout the series you get to see the devastating effect that her message has on these individuals. but in some instances, I thought that the blame she placed on them was far more cruel than anything they had ever done to her. characters, Also, despite the fact that Hannah had a lot going for her (Caring parents, intelligence, charm, looks, etc), she definitely had some self-destructive tendencies and i wish they had made it clear that there were other ways she could have helped herself. Instead, the main theme of the show was about how these 13 people failed her which wasn't fair in a number of cases. As I said, I really think the series does a good job of making us more aware of how we treat others, but I do worry that a person who is depressed and/or a victim of bullying could watch this show and see suicide as a way to get back at someone. So if teenagers watch this show, I really think that the it should be watched and discussed with an adult. Expand

    SEASON 01:

    Yeah, I'm from the walkman era. The cassettes, tape recorder, I've lived in the final days of that time enjoying all of them. I still have some old tapes saved somewhere that I've to locate them, but I've no device to place them. Anyway, when I heard about this series, how those previous technology was used to narrate a thriller drama, I was so happy. Each episode named after the how many tapes used, and its sides. Maybe the new generation won't understand that. Though the story matters, what it was focused and unfolding the truth, the message was great.

    One of the top rated debut from the 2017. The Netflix usually strikes the gold, and so with this. After so many good reviews, I wanted to see it to learn what's that all about. In the end, I did not get disappointed. But it was not that great, except the message, a very important message in the present world. I thought they dragged it. The whole season. I think it should have been only half of those total episodes. So the plots would have got tighter and faster narration. That suicide scene really terrified me. It was too strong, definitely I'm against showing that to youngsters.

    It was about a boy who receive a box of tapes from the dead girl. The girl who committed suicide, so she has recorded these tapes telling what made her to take this terrible decision. All those influenced in her life to her death gets the tape and finally how it all ends is the mystery told in the final episode. But before that, how the tale develops among the guys who are involved in it decides to stop this attempt. It's not that easily stopped and reasons are revealed.

    Initially I thought it was one season thing, but now after the final episode, I think definitely season two is on. They have announced it as well now. Well acted and made with the production. Many actors you can point out, but Dylan Minnette and Katherine Langford topped the list. There's more to come or I'm expected in the following season than what this season has revealed. So I think I'm going like that more than this. It's too early, but there's a very little it to get wrong. I hope that's where it ends, but they could be tempted to extend the series. Anyway, a nice watch. It will remain one of the best from the streaming giant! So watch it sooner than later!

    It's a good series but it's amazingly annoying that adults, parents are unable to help, see problems because they do not have a realistic picture of them. Likewise, it is extreme that the protagonist boy is anxious and that he who can best reveal it does not do it.

These are everyday topics and a lot of the time it’s silent when it should be talked about. It’s almost like an ice breaker for uncomfortable issues. I believe they are aiming to prevent more suicides. I respect how they get you into the understanding and mind set of each person and issue. You may not agree or even respect it but you can kind of understand. Some say it’s glorifying suicide due to since the show started people have been leaving behind tapes. The only difference to me from the many years before the show has aired is they leave their suicide note on tape as opposed to paper. So if they were glorifying anything I believe it’s the way they leave their goodbyes. I also believe it was interesting how they show clay talking with hannah in the second season. The way I saw it was It is clay’s mind and how he’s dealing with the aftermath of hannah’s suicide. He needs her help to understand why she did it so his mind through her is trying to find answers. Another thing with the series is it is showing how everyone deals with these issues in their own way. There are people that believe this show is glorifies suicide and revenge especially to individuals who are mentally unstable. I don’t speak for all but I am mentally unstable, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, ptsd and panic disorders. Currently I am off medicine and yes I have a history of suicide attempts. The show hits on some real issues and yes pretty intense graphic scenes. But it’s not making me go out and grab a gun like alex, it is not making me find a tub to cut crucial arteries to be found drowned in my own blood. Maybe that’s the way the crew wanted the viewers to see it. Like many others they must have read the book and that’s where their imagination went. The show has professional support from doctors, survivors, advocates, etc to help make the series realistic. If anything it’s woken me up to talk to my counselor and shrink and if they were still alive I might have even opened up to my parents, hell they are not with us and I try talking to them. No different then clay tries to talk to hannah or someone religious talking to their God. Suicide is no joke and I believe that is what they are trying to portray among other issues. Yes I agrees the scenes are really graphic but hopefully you never have to find or be found. #reallifeisgraphic

But as I finally gave it the benefit of the doubt just a couple weeks ago, it hooked me more than I would've imagined.

    At first I had a deep disconnect with alot of the characters as I thought of them in a negative light, like the writers deliberately depicted and then, as the series went on, you saw each of their good sides, it always eventually showed everyone's black and white and their grey; but also their chances at redemption and that not only swayed me as a viewer but made me really think on how everyone had their side of their story and we get so wrapped up in that that we miss the big picture a good %90 of the time!

    I bawled my eyes out more than once watching Hannah's backstory and her reasons, and although at first I thought they were small, tedious things, I started to think back at my past and realised; it's actually really accurate. A lot of the things that affected me deeply in my deep depression was a lot of things that now wouldn't effect me so bad; some could be normal little things like getting yelled at, or told something someone didn't mean like "I hate you" or the likes. It doesn't matter what it is, something piling up on everything else can break you further, can make you close up completely; especially when you're disconnected with the people you care and show an interest in; when suddenly they turn on you and abandon you for some kind of reason (which legit I had happen to me by majority of my family at a young age) you feel like your whole world is being torn apart. It's different for everyone and everyone has their limits and I like how this show shows this really well, it did a good way in narrating it into its story.

    The second season I started out not liking very much and admittedly I do prefer 1 and 3 instead, it was rather interesting with Tyler's character development to me. Especially how you saw how he broke apart and was forcefully pushed to the breaking point just when he was starting to have things going for him. Then the way clay talked him down and everyone stepped in to make sure he was doing okay, simply because they trusted clay and all cared about someone he would care for.

    And Justin's story, oh my god. I thought he was such a dick at the beginning but I really ended up loving his character so much!! Especially how he got adopted into clays family when he no longer had somewhere to go. I know how it feels to be so grateful for a family to care for you even though they're not of blood. How much it means to someone and how special those feelings are, that bond. And the show really showed how Justin felt that way and then showed their growing bond in season 3. I have yet to watch season four but oh my god I can't wait and am dreading ending this incredible series!

    13 reasons why is a good TV Show because the history is different at the end of every episode we want to see the next thanks to the good scenario. At every episode we discover something new about the heroine this continue the process of addiction. However the tv show is a little bit too repetitive and we know what's going to happen next.

    La serie gratamente no me decepciono el tema es fuerte y los Yorkey decidió no darle la vuelta y enfrentarlos de frente y sin tapujos, es una serie muy incomoda de ver. Durante los 10 episodios asistimos a la tragedia de Hanna Baker (interperetada por una maginifica Katherine Langdford) y todo es visto desde la percepción de Clay Jensen. La serie esta bien construida, el guion es solido, escrito desde la verdad y sin ocultar nada, las actuaciones soberbias por parte de todo el elenco. Una serie que le habla a los adolescentes como persona inteligentes, sin ocultarles nada ni endulzarles nada.

    This is a well made and entertaining show. Clearly marketed at young teenage girls, I found myself outside the target audience and yet still felt I was on the edge of my seat for most of the story. Yes, there are some parts that will have adults rolling their eyes, but for the most part the series did a good job staying focused and serious.

    This is a well made and entertaining show.

Yes, there are some parts that will have adults rolling their eyes, but for the most part the series did a good job staying focused and serious.

    If you read the other reviews, you'll see that there's controversy over whether this series encourages or discourages suicide. Frankly, I think this question should be left to child psychologists who are trained in the matter. One thing I have to agree with though, is that it does romanticize suicide. I am not saying that this encourages suicide necessarily. At heart, this is a love and revenge story as much as a suicide story. It's hard to argue that the Star Crossed Lovers plot, with the main character being led through the life of his love with the help of recordings and maps of locations is not a romanticized ideal of suicide. We also get a story where the goal of the suicide is successful. We see how Hannah's suicide leads to revenge on each of the people who have wronged her in the past. We see the students squirm as they fear for reputations and scholarships. We see the school administration fearing for their jobs. We even see how this has been an effective way for Hannah to get back at her rapist, something that might not have been possible otherwise.

    One thing I'm afraid of is that people will take this show to be realistic. One anecdotal story does not prove that it is not, but a similar suicide happened when I was a teenager in school. I'm sure many schools handle things differently, but this is not at all how it was handled. I think people need to remember while watching this that it is just a tv show.

    With a history far removed from typical topic about adolescents, a touching, painful story about the harsh reality of school bullying and teen suicide; some episodes may be unconfort for some ages or tastes. Victims and perpetrators alike shall see it.

    It is the best what I could even imagine to watch!!! I think, this serial is worth at least to watch once. It's extremely interesting to watch about regular teens problems and a problem such as suicide. The story is fantastic, why she did it is very understandable. I think everyone should watch this amazing serial! 10/10

    This series exceeded my expectations, it really went deep into the subject of bullying and suicide. This series is horrifyingly beautiful, the story telling is amazing, it kept me engaged every second of the way and i felt that every scene and every line of dialogue was completely necessary, which i rarely see in other shows.

    I felt like i could sympathize with every single character, except Bryce, who was just a douche... Some scenes were beautiful, like the scene when Hannah is imagining her future with Clay while kissing him, his heartbreaking, and they didn't shy away about the rape and suicide scenes, they needed to be brutal, and they were, i was shaking while Hannah was slitting her wrists.

    This has to be one of my favorite TV Shows of all time, simply because not many shows keep me engaged all of the way and make me feel what i felt, putting myself in the shoes of all those characters and feeling exactly how they are feeling

    Suicide should never be an option

My kids go to public school and that would NEVER be acceptable to their teachers. They would at the very least be sent to the office and then suspended if they kept it up. Just saying, most public schools are not like that. The message of the movie is a good one, but only for very mature kids who can handle it. The lesson for my 13 year old daughter is that everything you see on social media is not true and it can lead to terrible things if you believe everything you see that is posted. Expand

    According to a dialogues of series, 13 reason why is "powerful and painful".

I just got emotional and could't stop watching. I wrote this just after watching for the 3th time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to start with this... when I was in 9th grade I read the book 13 reasons why I checked it out of my school library which is funny because it's Liberty High School. I felt very moved by the book I mean yes, Suicide and rape is a major factor in this series. But, I would like to say that 13 reasons why does express what does happen in some of these public school systems with the zero tolerance of bullying and the administration does absolutely nothing when an issue is brought up like that. and, to see how everyone goes through these issues after reading Hannah's death and, Bryce only getting 3 months of probabtion for rape?? what kind of **** and Justice was that for Hannah and even Jessica. Oh, and Tyler Down?? from the beginning you can see he's a good kid yet troubled because of these people bullying him to want to shoot up the school which makes you relate to today's day and age with all the school shootings and ECT. So, I feel for each and everyone of these characters. I lost a really good friend to suicide a little bit over a year ago. he went the way Alex Standall tried to go. But, we are out of highscool. But, it was all over a girl who made him feel like he was nothing. And, the town police constantly harassing him. And everyday I wish I told him I loved him. it was too late. So, I feel for Clay Jensen's heartache for being in love with Hannah Baker, But, having to let her go, There's not a day that goes by that Dylan is a thought. I think 13 reasons why is a really great show because it does bring awareness to allot of different points. But, I would like to know what happens next... What happens to Clay for the fact he has that gun for saving Tyler? Does Jessica tell Alex what happened between her and Justin at the Spring Fling? Or does Clay and his parents find out that Justin is having trouble staying clean? or what about Chloe telling Bryce she's pregnant? What happens to Monty for shoving that mop stick up Tyler's butt? What happens to Tyler? Does Bryce actually transfer? Does Alex get better with his mobility and memory? Do the polaroids reappear? There are so many questions left unanswered with season 2 Expand

    For me this show is about realising and understanding the nature of mental health in people of any age and how important it is (especially in teenagers) that we have conversations about the way we feel.

    The show was summed up in the final ep of season 1 where Clay says "No, I'm not ok, but is that ok?" I can't remember a time where I've ever felt that comfortable saying that to someone

    The show was summed up in the final ep of season 1 where Clay says "No, I'm not ok, but is that ok?" I can't remember a time where I've ever felt that comfortable saying that to someone because we live in a society that is so focused on progress and competition that we often forget about how important human nature is.

    This series is more than just a piece of drama, it's an observation of the mental health issues people face today and how this is shaped by the contemporary world around us. I found it so emotionally engaging because of this and I hope it can teach you as much about mental health issues as it did me.

    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.
