What's great about 13 Reasons is that the show tackles several issues that can/will be faced by kids as they go through high school. The cinematography is pretty good overall, but the show has its drawbacks.

The acting is average as hell. The writing and plot overall is constantly heavy handed and exaggerated. And then characters are introduced that ultimately do not serve that much of a purpose (Ani and Charlie come to mind).

If you haven't seen the show already, go into it with low expectations and you will probably enjoy it overall. Seasons 1 and 2 are pretty good. Season 3 is okay. Season 4 is not so good.
