This series was probably one of the first shows I've watched on Netflix.

The first season had flaws, but at least the story made somewhat more sense compared to the last season which was following too many characters including newly added ones. Season one was easier to follow because it showed a chained domino effect from one person to another. All the internal struggles and bad decisions people make does make us audience reflect on our own decisions. The soundtrack was very good with timing and suited the mood of the scenes.

The flashback scenes and transitions were pretty smooth, but I think they may have overdid the saturation in season 2.

I believe the show should have ended in season 2 when Hannah's arc was completed. The last season in particular seemed to dramatize characters actions and the story started to become warped leaving little room to connect with the viewers. The remaining seasons did try to show the aftermaths of the remaining characters, but the pacing and story direction started to lose the meaning behind the title "13 reasons why".

Overall, I still found Minette's performance to be convincing and most of the cast did their best with the given material.
