      Lilianna P Season 1 good, season 2 good, season 3 bad, season 4 horrible just got more boring and unnecessary Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Caitlin W Addresses a very important subject which is not talked about enough, i loved watching it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review George H An amazing piece of television from start to finish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Xtina S Unfortunately it's not a good adaptation. I only kept watching after episode 1 'cos I love the book and I wanted to see how the show captures it. The writing was off, the casting was off except for Clay, and the whole vibe was totally different. I did not get the urge to keep watching, to get to know more, while I was 100% hooked when I read the book. The characters in the show are pretty flat and most of the actors does not match their roles. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review karlosest Amazing first season, loved it. But i didnt like that it had long episodes or it kinda felt like it couldve been shorter, but still awesome Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Fadjar B Depression is really concerning when it comes to our family, and we can't really know what happened unless we saw it or we knew the truth. It's heartbreaking truly when we didn't realize how to suffer and sad if your acquaintance asks for help. This series, it reveals how we can help observe people having depression or issues.

      Riese Bernard Autostraddle None of this can rescue the fundamental ridiculousness of the gimmick at the show's core or its unmindful insistence that this show will not only do no harm, but actively encourage good. Oct 5, 2021 Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer 13 Reasons Why, nonetheless, falls far short of its admirable ambitions, often to the point of frustrating them. Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Constance Grady Vox An addictive, immersive show that comes with the standard Netflix flaws but also manages its grim material with elegance and nuance. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 25, 2017 Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine The work invites you to reflect on a very serious current problem that must be eradicated before it becomes intractable. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 28, 2021 Full Review Neal Pollack Decider As the season ends, 13 Reasons Why takes a sharp ambulance turn toward corniness and cheese. Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Monique Jones Just Add Color 13 Reasons Why is a show that wants to make a positive difference. But that strong earnestness seems to have been at the expense of actually investigating how certain themes could aggravate the problems the show seeks to remedy.
