As you might've heard, there's a new series on Netflix out titled 13 Reasons Why. IMO, it's one of Netflix's greater releases yet and definitely worth checking out. The reviews for it have been great thus far. It's a series that deal with a tough topic (as this lobby should get familiar with) and showcase the nauseating reality in our world.
If you do in fact plan on checking it out or have already started binge-watching it, discuss here! I'd like to hear your opinion on this show!
Below are the 13 reasons why you should watch this show:
It's raw, it's real, it's emotional
The soundtrack is top-notch
Diverse cast
Gay characters that don't get shoved into your face
Produced by Selena Gomez
Great story-telling format with the past and present occurring simultaneously
IT PROMOTES CASSETTES
aesthetically pleasing
how a high school drama should go
All 13 episodes released in 1 go
It will leave you crying your heart out at 4:19 a.m. in the morning
Alright, I caved. Episode 1 was actually really good, despite what I thought it was going to be after the first 20 minutes went pretty slowly. Picked up a lot in the second half, definitely will keep watching.
I HATE YOU ALEC, I KNOW ME AND THAT BLACK LINE IS SO TEMPTING TO HOVER OVER AND READ AND I JUST WENT AND READ IT DIDN'T I, AND SPOILED THE WHOLE SHOW FOR MYSELF. YAY!
just finished the entire season. i have to admit it was very VERY hard to watch and not look away during some parts. It is depressing. Trauma is trauma is trauma, and this show paints a very clear picture of that.
SPOILER:
i'll be on the lookout for new should-watch netflix series.
i remember reading the book in high school and being a bit disappointed that it didn't live up to the hype for me at least, but it looks like the show will be really good and im excited to see it :)
I forced myself to watch three episodes and I'm so done.
- The main character, Clay, is even more boring than the main character in Riverdale. - Jessica is supposed to be the pretty girl and I'm just like.... where? how? what? no. She looks dirty. - I don't know if it's the actor who plays Alex or if it's how the producers chose to style him, but he's like the gay-est straight character I've ever had the displeasure of coming across in a TV show. Everything from the faux septum ring to the bleach blonde hair (the contrast between it and his eyebrows is sickening, by the way) screams 'gay' to me. - At the rate that Clay is going, Katy Perry will somehow win a Grammy award before he finishes listening to those tapes.
I'll go against 'Rotten Tomatoes' and whoever else and argue that Riverdale is better.
