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.    … Expand

    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 never rate this bad, because i never watch such bad shows.

    I don't know what to say as the whole show was so irritating. Hanna's character was so flimsy. All the characters were just manipulated to fit the bad plot.

    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.

    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).

My dad did commit suicide while I was in high school. I went to some pretty dark places back in those days and often felt alone and numb to the world. I put a smile on and went though the motions of going to school and for the most part I know nobody had a clue what I was going through. The thing is committing suicide is a lot easier said or thought, for that matter, than it is to actual go through with. If back then, on one of my darker days I happen to watch this show, I know exactly what I would have thought. I would have thought, oh that makes sense. If I am going to kill myself I should let everyone who ever wronged me know what they did. Then they will totally regret everything and know it is their fault I am not alive. See cause when you are in that lonely place, you want people to know how you feel. You want them to see you. The thing is, life does not work the way it did in this fantasy tale. I could see this show easily being that one last thing to stir up the emotions and get someone to finally commit the act of taking their own lives. I remember watching the death scene in this show thinking, oh my god, they made that look so easy. So easy in fact, that I am sure deaths via slit wrists are sure to be on the rise in the next year or so. The creators of this show need to get their own morals checked before trying to impose their morals on everyone else in the world. They should be ashamed. There are millions of people suffering all over this globe right now. People without the luxuries Hannah had such as parents who loved her, a sound mind, a roof over their heads, food to eat, water to drink, and so many other things. The shows all about accountability right? People should realize that their actions have unforeseen consequences? If thats the case, the creators should be held accountable and should have thought twice before delivering this trash to the public, where so many vulnerable human beings are now being subjected to it.… 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. 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.

    Sincerely,
    The 90's,
    Where apathy and self-assuredness still reign supreme.    … 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

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.

    No. Thanks. And shame on the people who let this pass as meaningful television. 13 Reasons Why is exploitative and cynical and I feel gross having sat through it all in hopes for something meaningful to come of it.    … Expand

    The whole premise of show is ridiculous. The fact that she blamed others for her own suicide and is appalling. However, what's more disturbing is how blind so many people are to this and actively support and recommend this show.

    It's not just the language that completely distracts me from the plot, but the behavior of some of these characters. 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.

    By the way, the whole premise of a jock is vastly cliche, because nobody is casually going around wearing Letterman jackets in California.

    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.

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

    The motivations that trigger most of the conflicts are weak, the discussions escalate exaggeratedly quick (even for teenager standards) just so they can justify the change of each character's behavior, too convenient for the plot. It is unnatural to just be besties at a moment and suddenly worst enemies in a second or vice versa, that just reveals a lazy script writing.

    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.

    I started hopefully episode 1 with 13 Reasons Why. As the episode dragged on I quickly realized I didn't care about Hannah, the girl who committed suicide. If you leave this world, why irritate people who are still here? Rediculous ! What bothered me most about Hannah is her flat and emotionless voice and appearance. She bored the hell out of 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.

    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.
