The show is one of the most impressive I've seen in a while, the writing isn't top notch and while a very good and recommended watch there are holes in the story. The story is simple a girl kills herself and leaves 7 tapes each detailing how 13 people led her to taking her life. The programme at first seems and sounds unrealistic and also far fetched and at times this is clearly evident but the show also has many moments that are realistic. The acting for the most part is very good and makes slightly ludicrous moments feel more real. One of my favourite things that the programme offered was the way in which colours are used,in flashbacks in which hannah is alive the camera shows a light brown tint like a end of summer Begging of autumn kind of feel and bits of which she is dead are more depressing colours such as blue's and grays. This is very clever film making and helps to set a tone and mood for the overall scenes and helps you anticipate when something may be about to happen. The first episode sets off rather strongly in my opinion and the music used throughout the show is almost perfect using post punk classics such as joy division and Echo and the bunnymen. The music adds to the tone and much like the colours used on camera can help tell you when something important is about to happen. I only have few complaints but they are ones which unfortunately slightly hinder the show after it is obvious at some points that the show was quite well thought out. The writers knew there audience which I believe to be people around my age (16-20). Complaint number one is that the show progresses really slow and after a Frankly fantastic first episode the show slows for a couple of episodes after before picking back up again. Also complaint number two and one that may be slightly controversial until the final couple of episodes I didn't understand hannahs motives behind her suicide as I have heard stories of bullying in my school which seem to be worse than the ones portrayed on the show while there are obvious signs of bullying I didn't see as much of it as I expected and the people she mostly blaims for her death mostly seem like people who are willing to try to be friends with her. My final complaint and the most important one is that I think the show struggles to get it's message across which is where the main struggle lies especially since the message that I got from the series is ultimately a extremely important point. Overall the show is very enjoyable and while it's not as good as the hype suggests I would give the show a watch definitely also the message you take from it seems to be what you interpret it to be.
