Season 1 was brilliant. A dramatic reflection of what the world can be like for an adolescent. The suicide scene I felt was very harrowing. It was not glorifying suicide, cause there was nothing appealing or glorious about Hannah's death, it was painful and cold, and the discovery of her body was horrifying. So I felt it discouraged suicide. Way better than the badly written book btw!

Season 2 was awful...it turned into this glossy soap drama...they overstretched the previous season, completely weakening the message from season 1. I thought I wouldn't bother with season 3.

But I'm glad I did bother with season 3 cause it redeemed itself from the trashy second season...at times it was a bit like a mental health helpline video...but it was back to meaning something again....especially in relation to Jess and Tyler's storylines. Favourite line was from Alex's dad that summed the series up, it was something along the lines of "their lives are darker then we realise and we are sorry for what part we play in that". I liked how they told Bryce's story, that everybody is human, that monsters are made and can be unmade. Sadly, the conclusion I thought was very weak but overall a strong season.

I'm not sure how much further this can go, so don't have high hopes for season 4.
