13 Reasons Why

Langford and Minnette are the magnetic core of this drama. Separately and together, they have a dynamic chemistry that glows when they share the screen and energizes their scenes with others.

In its examination of the ways we hurt each other, deliberately or casually, knowingly or otherwise, the adult edges to this story ring with honesty and truth.

A compulsively gripping drama that could be thought of as My So-Called Suicide. [20 Mar - 2 Apr 2017, p.19]

The encore, alas, can't replicate that appeal, detouring into courtroom drama in a manner that provides far fewer reasons to watch or binge.

There’s nothing to push the narrative gas pedal in this first half of season two. You’re spending hours and hours watching characters wait for something to happen, for something shocking to come out of the trial. You’re waiting, too. ... This is a show that mostly succeeds at blurring the lines between protagonists and villains, to the point that we’re even forced to sit through the character assassination of Hannah in court and question what we thought we knew about her.

Unfortunately, the season's execution is frequently dismal. And although I didn't feel that the first season engaged in sadness porn or exploitation, I can't say the same for the second. It wallows, especially in later episodes. Using the trial as a structuring device might not have been a bad idea, except that there is no aspect of the trial that isn't absolutely ridiculous.

The third season of 13 Reasons Why is a ridiculous, maddening, overlong example of Peak TV-era television that doesn’t know how to quit when it’s ahead. It irritated me to no end.

Story for me was really boring, i watched until the end, just because i wanted to know Clay's reasons. Dropped after season 1, too boring

La prima stagione era bellissima, un ottimo thriller con questo mistero che non spoilero era bellissima. Poi la seconda inizia a fare schifo ma penso “vabbè migliorerà” arriva la terza e dico “vabbè 2 stagioni brutte mi auguro che con la quarta migliori” e invece no, peggiora l’impeggiorabile con una recitazione na merda, **** inutili che a volte fanno una comparsa solo per scopare, Clay è il classico ragazzo stereotipato LGBT per fare il “ragazzi anche noi li supportiamo”. Menomale che è finita
