I found it hard to gather my thoughts on this one. Film-wise, it was great. The acting, the editing and the soundtrack were superb. The dialogues were often witty (sometimes unrealistically so). After the first two episodes, I was hooked. The story moved me to tears several times. But after completing the story, serious concern had grown on me. Ultimately, I think the show has two fatal flaws. Fatal to such an extent, that I think they could even undermine the show's purpose in preventing suicide among teenagers.

1. Research has shown that being exposed to (a story in which a character commits) suicide can actually lead people to commit suicide themselves, often using the same method: the Werther effect. Especially young people can be susceptible. For this reason, I think the creators of the show's may have made a wrong decision in showing Hannah's suicide so graphically. I don't doubt the good intentions, but still - it's definitely something to be careful with.

2. The show is about a list of people that treated Hannah terribly, driving Hannah to feel depressed and ultimately end her life. And yes, it's true that we could all be more considerate in the ways we treat each other. But I believe that the show should have done more to prevent the toxic conclusion that everyone with suicidal thoughts can be saved by treating them better, by loving them more, and that blame for a suicide can be assigned to specific people. What does that say to people who know someone who has taken their own life? The causes of depression are largely unknown and can be so much more complex than "13 reasons why".
