I loved this show when Season 1 came out. I loved the 80's music because I am a huge fan. I am 16 and I felt that teenagers were really being represented in the right way. Most teens hate pop music and do not listen to it. I felt very similar to Clay Jensen and I was really impacted by this show. I am not the typical teen though. From a very young age I have never had an interest in having a social media presence. I had no idea how awful social media could potentially be until this show came out. I had only heard rumors and stories until watching the show. The central mystery of why Hannah killed herself keeps you interested throughout the whole first season. I could not stop watching because you have to know what Clay did wrong and why he deserved a tape. Tapes are sadly a very inventive way to say why you killed yourself and I hope that it is not repeated in the modern world. There is a lot of discussion as to whether or not 13 Reasons Why glorifies suicide and I have never understood how it has. The directors show the physical and mental pain that Hannah goes through during each episode when someone lets her down. Her heart is broken over and over again and then finally her spirit is broken. Suicide rates have climbed amongst teens because of phones. Some of the damage done to Hannah definitely comes from the presence of phones. Phones definitely make people feel lonely and it is not a good thing. People are not social anymore and people live in a fake world through Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. 13 Reasons Why does a really good job of showing the empty pit of loneliness that you can feel in high school.When I watched Season 2, I expected the fallout of Season 1 and the trial of course, but I also did not expect other things. I will not go into those things for those who have not watched the show, but I was somewhat disappointed by the writing direction. The writers made a conscious decision to change or alter Hannah's backstory through the views of other people and it definitely did not work for some of the characters. Not having the book as a fallback made the show veer in weird, strange directions in regards to Tyler. The second season introduces a place called the Clubhouse which is for the best because it was a big shout-out to the Me Too Movement. I just worry that 13 Reasons Why is now only trying to shock viewers rather than deliver a convincing, thought out story. The acting in both seasons has been amazing and even the new cast members are phenomenal. I think my massive problem with season 2 was the plot and Clay was not the central character as much which pissed me off. Clay was the main character in Season 1 and I do not feel as if he is in it as much as he should be in this one. Plot threads concern more on the people Hannah blames for her death. There are a few pairings of actors that work extremely well in Season 2 that did not happen in Season 1. That was a pleasant surprise, but Season 2 is not in the same league as Season 1. Not by a long shot. I hope Season 3 is amazing, but with Katherine Langford leaving, I do not know how the show will be. I am still a huge fan and I cannot wait to see what it will be like. On another note, I would not suggest this show for anybody under 14-15. This show is really important for teens to watch though. There are a few gruesome scenes, but it is really important and perfectly signifies how our culture is right now.

Season 3 is coming 20 September at 2019 as you can see at the trailer of the next season the numbers are 20/10.

I first saw the show october last year. My best friend was in town and she saw the first season twice so we talked a lot about it. We are both adults though. As a teenager, I loved Dawson's Creek, I must say I'm 33 years old now but I have read the book and I have seen the two seasons and anybody should see 13 reasons why. It is beyond bullying and High School, it is indeed about what Jay Asher had in mind, we affect each other. We hurt each other. Hannah tried, multiple times and somehow it would always end up worse than before. It is message there are signs all over. If you go through these horrible experiences you see on tv series, please talk to somebody, tell your family, a family member you trust, a good friend or seek for professional help. Keep trying. No, at no point I believe Hannah Baker's suicide makes it seem like it is the best idea or best way our or it gives this impression people will feel sorry for what they did and the love of your life will become your hero when you are gone...It is meant to show that you may not be mentally ill, you don't have to be depressed to choose suicide. It is about the sequence of events and how many times she tried and no positive result. Endless frustration and pain and she bottled up and she had loving parents but somehow she wanted to keep secrets, she felt she couldn't tell them and come on they were her parents. Do you literally tell your parents everything? Every single damn thing. She had no friends, the only one she had left town. Clay had feelings for her and this is another message by the way, he could have said more and supported more when she was alive. So talk, the final message to me is talk about the pain you feel or talk to someone how much they mean to you. I love this tv series with all my heart, I was not doing well when I started season 1 so I watched it slowly but fully recovered on season 2 last may I saw the thirteen episodes non stop until I finished I was awake all night long and I'll miss you Hannah Baker, you are part of fiction but there are so many like you out there and I do hope with all my heart with this series people get the message, that we need to be aware of the impact of things we do to each other, we need to express how we feel otherwise it is too late.The Hannah Baker haters disgust me. "Drama queen, manipulative, vindictive with tapes etc". No, a kind, good-hearted soul who took her own life because pain was too much and she did not talk about it and even when she tried it failed and the pain was so much she couldn't do it anymore. So through each episode pay attention...talk...let them know how you feel while you're alive, not after you're dead. Congratulations to Jay Asher, Netflix, the amazing cast and Katherine Langford what a talented young actress. She made it so real, I felt her pain. Same for Clay, when he is miserable listening to the Night we Met in the last episode of season 2 and his friends surround him I cried. The pain of your loved one gone. These are my final words and actually they aren't mine, at season two before the episodes you have messages from the cast and I completely agree with "the minute you talk it helps". Anxious for season three. Bye.

If you have experienced assault, I do not recommend this show. It brought up extremely painful memories for me and left me engulfed in a cloud of darkness that was difficult to shake for days after watching. I would not recommend this show to highly empathetic people either because the agony that these kids are going through can seep through the screen and into you. Season 1 was powerful. It was painful to watch but I found it worthwhile, especially for parents to get a peak into the drama of high school life. Season 2 was dull at times and gut-stabbing at others, especially a scene in episode 12. There is an excessive amount of graphic, violent msex scenes. Although they were disturbing to watch, I did thinking the bad guy would get what he deserves. SPOILER- He doesn't. The lessons learned here are that high school can be a horrible experience, rich people can get away with anything, and most women have experienced sexual assault. Yay!
