13 REASONS WHY?

Hello, and welcome back to Kay-tvtalk. The show i chose to talk about today is called 13 Reasons Why. This is a popular original Netflix series that premiered March 31'st 2017, and should be expecting its second season soon. This show's main character is a guy named Clay who's high school crush named Hannah has recently taken her own life. Clay tries not to deal with his emotions, until a mysterious box shows up on his porch. Inside the box are tapes recorded by Hannah, that vividly explain 13 reasons why she chose to commit suicide. Clay is not the only person who has received the tapes, the tapes are received in the order of each reason and who they include. Each tape is made for someone who she felt was responsible for her suicide in some way, even if it wasn't a direct event. Clay may or may not be a reason, why Hannah committed suicide but the thought of her recording these tapes, and all the details of the situations she suffered through while she was alive, force Clay to deal with hidden emotions or events he had not payed attention to in the past. He begins to feel overwhelmed with the hurt imbedded in his crush, he makes it his mission to get justice for her even if he is one of the reasons himself. This show has had so much controversy, it has gotten a lot of negative feedback from mental health experts and parents saying that it glorifies suicide and could cause teens dealing with similar issues to do the same thing. I personally don't think that this show has glorified suicide in anyway. I think this show was a good show and it shed light on issues that teens face everyday in  high school and how much more vulnerable teenagers are. However, it was a little dark, and i do feel like some of the reasons weren't realistic in today's day and age. I also find it hard to imagine what exactly the second season will be based on, if all the reasons were discussed in the first season. A story as deep as this one can get old very fast, and the audience may not want to watch something this sad all the time. For these reasons, i think this show is good with reservations. I hope you all take out the time to watch this show and gain an opinion of your own. I would love to hear some feedback about it, feel free to leave a comment! Thanks again for tuning into kay-tvtalk, Happy binging!
