    '13 reasons why' is a brilliant TV show. The plot is so emotional and powerful. It touches one of the main problems that people are facing and it shocked me in every possible way. One of the best series of 2017. Highly recommended

    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."

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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

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.    … Expand

    Captivating from start to finish. I usually don't buy into any of this stuff like "feelings" and "emotions" but this one really did tug at the heart strings. Not since Marley and Me has a movie or TV show brought me so close to abandoning my man points and letting out a salty, sweet tear drop... just one mind you.

    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

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    … Expand

    13 reasons why I just like a lot of people was very sceptical about the show considering most television series/movies tend to show depression and suicide as a lot less impactful than it is and for me personally it was a huge deterrent just as a topic since I was a victim of r*pe and I had been so close to committing myself so many points in my life thanks to a numerous amounts of severe13 reasons why I just like a lot of people was very sceptical about the show considering most television series/movies tend to show depression and suicide as a lot less impactful than it is and for me personally it was a huge deterrent just as a topic since I was a victim of r*pe and I had been so close to committing myself so many points in my life thanks to a numerous amounts of severe trauma. 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!    … Expand

    According to a dialogues of series, 13 reason why is "powerful and painful".
    All cast and crew do their best(especially director , editor , actors) .
    only negetive thing is that I think two episodes of Zack and Marcus could be shorter.

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.    … 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!

    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

    A very powerful and emotional series. Despite the controversy surrounding how it tackles suicide, I found it educational and eye-opening, especially for people who do not know much on the topic.

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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.    … 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.

(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

    La serie no es mala en si, solamente que no la recomiendo, ya que muchos no les va a gustar el desarrollo como tal de los personajes, cosa que estoy de acuerdo con la gente, muchas de las razones de que la cual la protagonista se suicida son muy tontas, pero no es hasta los últimos capítulos donde vemos que hace esta serie tan especial.

    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.

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

    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.

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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The PEPSI add of Tv Shows. Not a good view. Overall the production it is acceptable, editing was superb and kudos to Kate Walsh who had a great performance, so much so that it feels from another series. Now the story, characters, and performances are STUPID. Yes, the reasons she had for killing herself are presented in an incredibly stupid way. And the aftermath of her suicide it's handled incoherently. It's unbelievable how this story passed so many filters to land on Netflix, and I think that the whole story hangs from the fact that she killed herself... of course... but, think about this: Imagine that she didn't kill herself, imagine she left those tapes and ran away and everyone assumes that she did kill herself. Now, through that lens every reason she had and interaction she made point major flaws in character development. I guess that the thesis the author tried to establish on his book was that every little act of indifference we perform can have a big impact on someone else's lives, But it crumbles once you develop it free of the guilt of her death. Hanna is emotionally manipulating everyone, she barely has any personality and her choices are unjustified. The parents are incredibly distant, the protagonist is a boy whose development its both incredibly stupid and incoherent (He is supposed to be a smart kid who jumps into savage conclusions and actions without hearing all the tapes... everyone else sat through the things in one night and this kid is annoyingly slow in every sense) ... and then ... there is Tony that awful character ruins everything he touches. Now... The Tapes... the series asks you to take an enormous leap of faith and assume that no one involved was like "F... this, ill call the police, or at least ... MY PARENTS". Clay's mom is a lawyer... (incredibly representing the school in a case where his son might be involved... another stupid plot point you just have to go with)... how come he didn't checked what she had to say. I'm I supposed to believe that you don't know if you killed this girl? Would you forget if you did something that might induce your crush to kill herself? Heck ! I bet everyone remembers if you were breathing wrong when your high school crush was around.... then how im i supossed to believe anything you say after this. In the end i think the entire series tries to blackmail the emotions out of you just like Hanna did with her mates. The rape scenes come out of nowhere and the point of the tapes falls flat when you realize how pointless the whole scheme is. Every character fails when trying to adquire dimension. It tried to be edgy and it ends up being stupid and insensitive. Its like the Pepsi commercial of TV shows... so Join the Conversation... I guess?… Expand

However, most of the plot is on-the-nose, the writing and dialogue poor, and too much of the show is absolutely tone deaf towards the issues that you'd expect it to care about. I'll keep my complains short and just include the two things that bother me the most. Spoilers beyond this point.

    The author of this story seems to have some sort of wish-fulfillment issue. The central character is the nice guy who rarely does anything wrong. He's smart and sensitive and thoughtful. He's also the only character who finally does what should have probably happened immediately: he actually tries to get justice for two of his friends that were viciously raped, and two of his friends who are now dead -- and it's mad to think that none of the other kids in this situation would have acted before him.

    Beyond our protagonist being the only one who does the right thing, though, it seems that everyone has thing for him even though he's too shy for that stuff: the pretty cheerleader, the tortured Hannah who ultimately commits suicide (in part because she shunned him even though she loved him), the cool coffee house goth girl, even his wise, homosexual friend. It all reeks of wish fulfillment on the writer's part.

    But the most egregious sin of this cynical television show ... that it leaves itself open for a second season in the most exploitative way possible ... by suggesting that a supporting character, another victim of bullying, is going to go on a school shooting spree and we'll get "13 Reasons Why" he becomes a killer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The two lead actors are well cast and perform admirably.

    Everything wrong with this is in the writing. A 40 year old guy writing about overdramatic post-millennials. It's just not honest, though meticulously researched, and the viewer feels it the whole way through. The characters are caricatures. Rape works like deus ex machina here to justify Hannah's selfish, short-sighted behavior—sorry, it's true. I watched the whole thing, waiting to see the justification of her suicide, genuinely curious about it, because I had assumed the story was written by an honest writer—but in the justifications he selected you can see the writer clearly manipulating the narrative for emotional affect. One wonders if this whole thing wasn't calculated to check-off certain PC quotas.

    I mean I could be wrong. Kids of this age could all be whiny, dramatic, self-involved monsters with no sense of history or humility—but I tend to think that's just Hollywood's over simplistic deduction of post-Millennials, or the worst-case example (and coincidentally the loudest and most overrepresented in the media) of who some of these kids are.

    The fact that this is so well reviewed by people is really disturbing. It's like we suspend our critical faculties when our virtue signaling friends tell us we have to see the new "powerful" and "important" Netflix release (gag me). And then it's like dominos and nobody can state the obvious without being branded insensitive to the ridiculous trend of overhyping bullying, a trend dreamt up by out-of-touch adults attempting to manipulate the next course of young voters. Bullying has always existed. And given the hypnotized-by-PC nature of most post-millennials, I dare say they deal with a much LIGHTER and EASIER TO DEAL WITH form of bullying than other generations have endured. In fact, I'm certain of it.

    But you can't say that—because that information would give hope to post-Millennials, and reinforce in them the truth that high school is brief and completely unimportant to life in the end. Instead, we have to indulge the youth, convince them that what they suffer is infinitely worse than things other generations have suffered; we have to pill them up and tell them none of their problems can be overcome and romanticize and champion their suffering like they are heroes and heroines. It doesn't work. Heroes and heroines move stories, not characters that are chronically and irrecoverably broken, idiotic, forever miscommunicating, because of a meddling writer trying to make a statement by distorting them into fools. Oh if only Hannah and her oafish beau had communicated! Yeah, I know right. If only the writer had allowed two people we are told are bright and intelligent to be bright and intelligent. They might have been a hero and heroine then.

    This is the golden age of television, people! Demand more for God's sake. And learn to grow a guard against Hollywood "adults" (for lack of a better term) BRAZENLY manipulating you with a story that does not reflect real life but purports to. Or keeping mooing together, I guess.

If someone was suicidal, or looking depressed, and was half as good looking as Hannah Baker, they'd be getting almost annoyed with how many people would come up to them and ask what was wrong.

    I rate this a 3 because it's interesting enough for me to keep watching. I don't exactly know why, though. Maybe I find enjoyment in identifying inaccurate portrayals of high-schoolers. Or laughing at some of the ridiculous dialogue choices. Overall, the issue with this show is that I can't clearly define the audience it tries to captivate. If It was made for 18-20 something year olds, it needs better dialogue and character development.    … Expand

    One of the most over hyped, and overrated shows to come on Netflix in a while. With some of the flattest acting I've ever seen, i don't think I've ever hated the protagonist any other show i ever watched. The supporting characters are vapid and very archetypal.

Hannah Baker is such an unlikable person that she ruins the show. A good character is easily related to and we can easily empathize with them even when they make the wrong decisions. But I can't find a bone in my body that can like her. I feel like author thought she would be looked at as strong and independent due to her revenge tapes, but she simply comes off as a very **** person who had a **** time in high school and now has made tapes to complain about why everyone should have loved her. Awful message and hollow characters.… Expand

    Ambitious show but failed to really showcase its prime objective. It fell flat on its face after the supposedly "wokeness" it would give to the youth regarding anti-bullying campaigns, it sparked the unlikely opposite. Alarming news said that this show actually became a "trigger" for some of the youth and some even tried to recreate their own versions of this show.

Alarming news said that this show actually became a "trigger" for some of the youth and some even tried to recreate their own versions of this show. Mind boggling and disturbing. What really bothers me is that inspite of everything that transpired, they would produce a sequel to this series. What do they have in mind, really?… Expand

    An incredibly overwrought, poorly written, poorly acted slog. I feel bad for all high schoolers if this is how bleak your everyday life is. Mine, as long ago as it was, was obviously all sunshine and rainbows. There are many YA books that deserve adaptation... the Asher book did not deserve THIS adaptation.

    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.

    This story is sure to be devoured by teens who respond to its dark themes. But it could use a bit more leavening, acknowledging the reasons why life can be something more than apocalyptic.

    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.
