13 reasons why

Last week, I started watching the Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why and last night I watched the last two episodes.   For those who don't know 13 reasons why is about the story of Hannah Baker, who was the subject of bullying and betrayal brought on by students at her high school and because of this she decides to take her own life by committing suicide. She leaves a series of 13 tapes which explain the reasons why she ended up ending her life. I know public reaction to the series has been somewhat negative given the subject matter  of suicide and dark scenes in the show, but I really felt that this was a good series and it really addresses the issue of bullying and the subject of rape which I know is a very hard topic to address, but I felt the series did a great job addressing these topics. I also like the fact that if the episode is going to have scenes that maybe hard for some viewers to watch their is a warning message placed at the beginning of the episode to let the viewer know what the content is going to be. I found this series hard to watch at times not just because of the subject matter, but because of the pain that Hannah felt especially in the shows last two episodes, but overall the show was really well done and the cast was amazing.

I did enjoy this series and I am looking forward to checking out the book as well as season 2 of the series when it is released. Below is a link to the website that is introduced at the beginning of the series.
