Come on people. This series is based on a book. And like any rendition of a book brought to a screen, it has lost a little bit of what made it so compelling in text. Stop being Uber critical and rating the series as awful because you don't understand it. I personally enjoyed the series and the way it was done, but I don't like how it was drawn out so freaking long. I read the book in less than a day, surely a Screen series can be put together in shorter than 13 hours. I can empathize on so many levels with so many characters and for so many reasons. If you think the Netflix series was crap, read the book. If you think Hannah was obnoxious, read the book. If you think Clay was an idiot, read the book. If you can't figure out what made it so compelling, READ THE FREAKING BOOK. This content was extremely important in this day and age. Until this series and probably for a long time still, suicide is taboo and I commend those who were a part of this project. Text or screen. Stop being obnoxious and take the time to READ THE FREAKING BOOK. It will make the story make sense.
