Going in, you've heard this is about a teenage girl who kills herself. Your intuition is that she is probably just a whiny idiot, who has succumbed to teen angst, but according to the score and all these glowing reviews, you must be wrong right? No, you are not.

I suspect many of the other reviewers did not bother to watch all 13 episodes.

The series touch on a number of issues, most notably homosexuality, bullying and rape. As Hannah is a girl, she naturally has to endure great amounts of sexual harassment, mostly from straight white boys. In fact, you will see lots of characters who fit the biases of the liberal millennial; they seem to be the target audience.

The first couple of episodes were pretty good if you don't mind edgy teen drama. Afterwards, the unanswered questions start to stack up, and the answers fall short.

Towards the end, the progressive message becomes very clear; men are generally creeps, and they don't think rape is a problem. On top of that, Hannah is painted as a victim of her suicide, and every person who wronged her, is blamed for her death.

The message is clear; if people are mean to you, it's OK to kill yourself, as long as you make a half-assed attempt at reaching out. Is that the kind of message you want your children to learn? I agree we need to talk more about suicide, but this show wasted the opportunity, and I find the message detestable.
