BRizz 2 @TheMovieSearch Jul 11 Series Review – 13 Reasons Why, Seasons 2–4 (Streaming on Netflix) 13 Reasons Why should have remained a one-season limited series. The first season delivered a powerful, self-contained story that resonated with audiences and sparked conversation. However, Netflix’s decision to extend the series for three additional seasons resulted in a noticeable decline in both quality and impact. Season 2 was passable—it managed to hold interest by expanding on the consequences of the first season, even though it already felt like a stretch. But Seasons 3 and 4 fell off entirely. The storytelling became convoluted, and the show lost the emotional weight and focus that made it stand out in the beginning. It felt like the writers were grasping at straws, trying to extend a narrative that had already reached its natural end. This is a prime example of what happens when a strong concept is overextended for the sake of popularity. Instead of preserving the legacy of the original season, the continuation diluted its message and impact. The critical and audience reception made it clear that the magic had worn off. One of the more disappointing aspects is how the extended run seems to have impacted the careers of the cast. The lead actress, Katherine Langford, had been positioned for major opportunities—reportedly even within the Marvel Cinematic Universe—yet much of that momentum seemed to stall. It’s unfortunate, as many of the young performers gave strong performances, but the show’s direction didn’t support long-term success for its stars. Ultimately, 13 Reasons Why began as a bold, emotional drama with a message—but by the time it wrapped up after Season 4, it felt like a shadow of what it once was. Ending after the first season would have been the strongest choice.

However, it fails to provide a satisfying continuation from the first season. In fact, it seems to be relying solely on its visual appeal and the continuation of a teenage drama series that is being exploited for its entertainment value. Grading: C See more Craig M 01/10/2025 Should have stopped at season 1. This season they added too many retcons that don't add up with season 1. Almost all the characters had different personalities. From what I heard a lot of the creative writers quit after season 1 which explains a lot, no proof its just from what I heard from someone who used to work on the show. See more Yesake B 06/19/2024 This season was probably the worst one in my opinion. If they would have put clay in therapy in season 2 I think it would have had a great dynamic moving from season 1 to season 2 so that way parents or any adult watching can have more understanding on how kids experience when it come with grief and lose by listening to him talking. I don’t know what this was. There was so many flash backs, I couldn’t tell which one was true, which one wasn’t. It’s was nothing.

Cependant l'idée du procès et plutôt bonne mais mal réalisé et à contrario certains traitements de personnage sont hyper intéressant et profond (Tyler ou Justin) See more Tanzila T 11/19/2023 My favorite season. It wasn't bad as people made it out to be. Clay and Justin were the best characters, it was funny yet bittersweet. I give it a 94% overall. See more Read all reviews
