Realism_ OK, i'm currently in high school. I know how high schoolers behave, and act. People claiming that "Oh, This show is so real" are simply incorrect. This show is over saturated to a point where all realism it had, is gone. It might just be, that i go to the quietest and most peaceful high school in the universe, but in my school, people don't try to rape each other. We don't spread rumors, especially rumors of such a caliber featured in the show.

Concept: This concept, is nothing short of genius. I know it's based on a book by Jay Asher, and not just a TV show. The only bad thing about this concept, with the tapes, is that it leaves no room for multiple seasons. But just the idea, with the tapes and such is both capturing, scary and thrilling.

Cinematography: The Filming on this show is OK. Apart from the changes from past to present, it doesn't leave a lot of room for good cinematography. The segways between past and present are good though. It doesn't even come close to the filming in other shows of such great renown, like Breaking Bad.

The reason i believe that the show falls flat: THE OVERSATURATION OF EVERYTHING. You're supposed to feel sympathy for Hannah, yet i fell nothing else than resentment, and sometimes anger. She blames everyone else for her own shortcomings and flaws, and it gets to a point where its straight up annoying. i'm not going to point out any examples, as i want this review to be spoiler free, so you'll have to see for yourself.

Overall thoughts: This show is mediocre, but could've been so much more. The book it was based on is an amazing read, but the series adaptation has so many more flaws. It has potential, yet falls flat
