If I'm only talking about season 1, then yes this series is great...well...until the rest of the seasons happened. Thirteen Reasons Why is one of those series that never needed new seasons, but they kept making them anyway. I mean sure, maybe we do need a second season because we get curious about what happened after, but 2nd to 4th seasons weren't executed well overall.

Based on the best-selling novel, the first season is about Clay Jensen, a shy high school student who receives a package of tapes on his doorstep. Inside the tapes is Hannah's voice detailing the events that led to her suicide, as well as the thirteen reasons--and people--why she decided to end her life. The second to fourth seasons show what happened after the novel's story.

The 1st season is remarkable and emotional with great performances by the main cast. The 2nd season is actually pretty good most of the time, but then sometimes decide to completely ignore the 1st season's story that it feels like it's set on a completely different universe or something. The 3rd and 4th seasons are mostly terrible and I won't detail the many awful things I've noticed about the rest of the seasons, but the finale episode is definitely a saving grace.

The score and songs used are pretty neat though, and most of the acting by the main cast members are great. Katherine Langford and Dylan Minnette of course stands out, but also Alisha Boe and Brandon Flynn are amazing. The rest of the main cast is also great, but there's too many of them to mention.

I say maybe only watch the first season so you'll save your time.
