The 13 episode series is based on a novel by Jay Asher by the same name. I truly liked this series. It's a very well made and well thought out series though it could be quite far fetched. I thought Hannah's encounters with other characters revealed in season 2 are quite forced. I was reluctant to watch season 2 because I thought it was unnecessary but I was wrong!

The show tackles major issues that are seen throughout schools and how inept schools are at tackling said issues. Issues such as emotional bullying, that rarely gets talked about, student oppression, which rarely gets taken seriously, and every type of bullying, which can't be tackled. This show manages to turn a tragedy into knowledge.

But I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. Like I said, each person should do their own research and decide for themselves whether or not they can handle watching it. I can totally understand why someone would choose not to. Episodes 13 of both seasons are too graphic to watch alone if you are bery sensitive or depressed.
