Has anyone watched Th1rteen R3asons Why (based on the novel by Jay Asher) on Netflix?
I finished watching it yesterday after a 3 day binge, it kept coming up as recommended for me and knowing what the show was about I was really wary about watching it. Have to admit, having been bullied in high school it was not an easy show to watch. It is an amazingly well acted and well written show, the entire cast is incredible. There's going to be a second season which I'll definitely tune in to watch once it airs. It had its funny moments but it is very dark and violent, there's a lot of unnecessary cursing as well at times when it really isn't needed. That's the one thing that bugged me the most about the show. There are a lot of side stories going on too that helps to flesh out each character and their own inner battles. It doesn't hold back either, they really went for it.
Watching it brought back a lot of memories and I'll admit it got me emotional during each episode and I teared up a few times. It was really hard not to. It really dove into what goes on in other peoples heads and different points of view of events, though mainly seen from the character Hannah's memories and her truth of events. Myself, it really showed how certain events, words, actions, no matter how small, can really impact a person.
If you're a sensitive type of person, especially when it comes to the topic of suicide, I suggest you do not watch this show alone. Personally I feel this is a show that everyone should watch, it is so well done and helps to answer that question people always have when someone commits suicide.
