View Details Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for 13 Reasons Why Season 1 All Critics (63) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (49) | Rotten (14) The drama is sensitive, surprising, consistently engaging, and, most important, unblinking. Mar 29, 2017 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 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 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 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 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 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 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 View All Critic Reviews (63) Audience Reviews for 13 Reasons Why: Season 1 Oct 07, 2020 This show is something I can relate too, finally a tv group that has the balls to tackle real issues. Its never bad it might take a while but this show is worth the time to watch. Avoyd E Sep 12, 2020 The characters were great, acting was phenomenal, story was captivating & even made me cry, which is very rare for a film or a tv show to do. It doesn't glorify violence or suicide like many people will say. Instead, it dares to show sincerity & the consequences. Excellent first season. Justin S Jul 11, 2020 "13 reasons why"'s first season (and final one for me) tackles hard-hitting subjects, like rape, suicide and sexual assault through a gripping storyline and strong performances delivered by Dylan Minnette, Katherine Langford and Kate Walsh. Rare M Jul 06, 2020 Disgusting. No one kills themselves out of revenge. When you take suicide seriously, you just don't care. This is just about a girl who was selfish enough to take her own life because she had bad taste in men. All this taught was there is power in being a victim instead of empowerment in self respect and reenforcing positive self esteem like in the 90's. David C Jun 29, 2020 Esta primera temporada le dio honor al título de la serie, luego de esta temporada se perdio el hilo. luis s Jun 29, 2020 Vile. By the end of the season you were glad she killed herself. Christopher H Jun 28, 2020 Excellent program, great acting and made you think. bruce a Jun 27, 2020 Awful; all seasons. It makes no sense; the parents are stock figures, clueless and blind. The characters are liars, cheats, promiscuous; the school is so poorly run that no one sees any fights going on. Clay has deep problems from the beginning. Skip it. Sheila B Jun 25, 2020 Una idea original bien planteada que te sumerge en este drama adolescente, a través de los mas oscuros deseos y secretos de los personajes, una representación de lo que viven muchos jóvenes hoy en día y mucas veces callan o llegan a extremos con el personaje Hannah Baker. No le vi la necesidad de continuar la serie. Algunas historias no merecen continuidad, menos si no van a lograr superar a la primera entrega. Luis V Jun 22, 2020 I'd certainly tell my 15 year old self not to watch this.
