This show borderline glorifies suicide. The acting is okay at best. There's no complex characters here whatsoever. It was an insult when I found out they were inspired to shoot the episodes the way they did by the fantastic show that is Season 1 of True Detective! Clay listens to these tapes at such a SLOW pace and it's exhausting to watch as a viewer. I know the show is called 13 reasons why but you DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE 13 SLOW EPISODES. There has been shows that have told complex stories with greatly developed characters in 10 episodes or less. The characters in this show have the typical jocks, cheerleaders, losers, loners, and it's such a cliché and brings nothing new to the table of High School based shows. Hannah falls apart when the slightest thing doesn't go her way.

She pushes Clay away CONSTANTLY and then wonders why he never put an S on his chest and saved her! She's see her best friend get raped and does nothing out of fear, I get that. But she never follows up on that?! She doesn't tell anyone?! How are we supposed to feel sorry for this character? You can tell this show is trying SO hard to make you feel sorry for her but how can you when she's such a drama queen?! I'd never recommend this show to ANYBODY. Anybody who's depressed or has had suicidal thoughts please please please please avoid this show since the content in it might convince them it's okay to harm themselves which is NEVER the case. They wanted to bring awareness about suicide but they have completely failed in delivering it properly.
