Mar 29, 2017 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Here, the process is well thought out with the original material masterfully intact while the addition of new exploratory elements serve only to enhance the narrative. Apr 2, 2017 | Full Review… Anne Easton Observer Top Critic 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. Because sometimes, the only way to feel something is for it to hurt. Mar 31, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic 13 Reasons Why, which follows the fallout after a student's suicide and then unravels the web that led her there, is an ambitious and uniquely sympathetic deep dive into the challenges of being in high school. Apr 5, 2017 | Full Review… Dana Schwartz Observer Top Critic As the season ends, 13 Reasons Why takes a sharp ambulance turn toward corniness and cheese. Jan 30, 2020 | Full Review… Neal Pollack Decider 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. Feb 12, 2019 | Full Review… Monique Jones Just Add Color In some ways, I do feel it glorified the suicide...but for me, what the series does is important, because it continues the conversation about rape and suicide. Was it a perfect portrayal? I don't know. Sep 10, 2018 | Full Review… Achara Kirk GET Jaby At times harrowing, other times laughably like an after-school special, "13 Reasons Why" ends up dulling its important topics. Nov 3, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com 13 Reasons Why succeeds on the strength of its cast. Oct 31, 2018 | Full Review… Ian Thomas Malone Ian Thomas Malone The series is so enamored with this idea of Hannah as someone who does things to others that it neglects to tell us who she is herself. That's not only a failure to tell a story to its best and fullest extent; it's a missed opportunity on a broader scale. Mar 7, 2018 | Full Review… Lauren Hoffman Cosmopolitan Its dual portrayals of the more subtle, insidious side of violence against women ends up being more visceral than HBO's goriest spectacles. Sep 11, 2018 | Full Review… Evelyn Wang Dazed and Confused 13 Reasons Why is more than standard entertainment. This is the rare TV series that can not only alter perceptions, it could change someone's life. Jan 9, 2019 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review… Amanda Sink The Hollywood Outsider View All Critic Reviews (63) Audience Reviews for 13 Reasons Why: Season 1 Jan 30, 2020 I went with 2 stars I was going to give it more stars but 2 stars is a good rating for this show. The soundtrack is popular songs but awful covers, I did not read the book I might, I heard good things about it. I thought that this season was better then the 2nd. season. I have not yet seen the 3rd. season but I want to, I am also looking forward to the 4th. and last season. Very real life issues and the death/suicide part is hard to watch but the people who worked on the show in the extras to this season said they wanted to show the realness of suicide and death. 2 stars for 13 Reasons Why sad show but a good/real show worth the watch. Alexsis D Jan 04, 2020 Season 1 and Season 2 are the best. Season 3 makes it really bad and fucks up everything. Good tv show tho Reilly H Dec 15, 2019 Garbage, as almost everything Netflix does. If they keep with these kind of garbage only, I'll cancel my subscription soon. Daniel C Dec 08, 2019 good season because it shows why hannah killed herself and the people involved and brings some issue going on with teens Diana M Nov 13, 2019 Heartbreaking and definitely worth a watch, but keep in mind the series' source material is much, much better Kylie K Nov 12, 2019 the worst tv series ive seen. this is garbage! Ian B Nov 05, 2019 Its very intense thats for sure and its very very true.This show hit me hard in a personal why and i think everyone should watch it to get a better understanding of deppresion and so on.Most people ignore these matters but they are 100%real,take it from someone who knows and get ready for a emotional trip down your own memories Simeon O Oct 26, 2019 Season 1 will bring you to tears. Enjoy it while it lasts because seasons 2-3 will make you cringe. Taylor P Oct 22, 2019 Thought provoking and gripping. Jonathan L Oct 05, 2019 Densa, repetitiva, que le cuesta horrores avanzar en la trama. Para nada recomendable.
