Season 1 of 13 reasons why was very graphic and tough to sit through at points. It showed a side of high school not typically dramatized for television. By the conclusion of the first season I was shocked and had a lot to think about. The acting was top notch and storylines were believable enough.

It should have ended there....

Season 2 was basically a cash grab for Netflix. The story is insane and is in no way realistic. Instead of a strong narrative structure, the show takes a ton of cliche and easy ways out to continue the harrowing story. The performances are decent but, the material the actors are given is just plain stupid. In what world would any of this happen, and why would the parents feel these kids should keep going to this school.

Watch season 1 and just forget that anyone at Netflix decided to be greedy and want more from a dead premise
