I know right. I want to watch the show but I don’t want to watch kids having sex. I know high school kids have sex I just don’t want to watch kid characters in sexual situations. This show seems to really focus on their bodies trying to make it a “hot” scene like adult characters. I want to see pressures of test taking or school performances lol
Most of them are probably having a class only for the sounds of gunshots to be heard. The newer kids ask what's going on and the teachers and older students probably say "Oh just another school shooting. We get a lot of them at Liberty High. Just ignore it." Sunnydale High School from Buffy the Vampire Slayer had less of a body count and that town was full of vampires, demons, werewolves, ghosts, zombies and so on.
I like how every time clay threatens people with a gun he gets away with it. The other characters just think to themselves "oh clay, back with your silly gun again".
These characters grow into the middle aged adult families and victims of the serial killers in Criminal Minds. When the killers research their targets past and gives them the just desserts.😔
I mean, if I was a director I could come up with ideas to stretch out of how Bryce Walker and Montgomery de la Cruz are doing around hell with Justin Foley. But that is about it. Asides from just doing a literal spin off and revamping it kind of like the same approach of General Hospital. But many Hospital shows are kind of boring at this point. Except for The Good Doctor that portrays autism in the best accurate way possible instead of like pulling an Autism Speak misinforming a lot of people false stuff and being like Peta but to autistic people.
true but its so dangerous, it's just pushing so much misinformation about mental illnesses. we really don't need that anymore in the media its bad enough as is
Trust me no you haven't. I'm really impressed IHE can summarise as well as he can. I thought I knew as well but when I started watching I realise that there are about 30 total side plots or fakeouts that go fucking nowhere and don't even act as red herrings, they are pointless
It shouldn’t have even progressed to AIDS that quickly. It takes up to 10 years for HIV to become AIDS. Since Justin was homeless during what I believe was their Junior Year, there is no possible way it progressed that quickly.
Stan NeonPunch not sure if this is still the stereotype, but the fact that they had him have sex with other men and then get HIV feels... wrong. It feels like they are stereotyping HIV as a “only gay people can get it” even if it’s unintentional
The show should've ended with it being revealed that Hannah Baker is still in the bath imaging that all this would happen if she killed herself and so she decides not to.
That would have been hilariously bad. It would have been better than the real ending, but still silly because it would mean Hannah daydreamt years into the future, including inventing characters she has never met before. The best bit is because season 4 is so farfetched and detached from season 1, there's be no way Hannah could predict all of that shitshow unless she had no logical cause-effect thinking skills.
It was so corny here. I kept thinking about that Spongebob episode where Squidward is being taken on some acid trip into horror by the Flying Dutchman where a large figure of Spongebob literally had spiders crawl out of his face.
@@Lauren_210 I remember that episode. Where Spongebob suggested that the Dutchman scare Squidward so he pretended to be Squidward's mother saying "WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED ME?"
Because that's Netflix's defence against any criticism of the show. Even though nobody watches episodes of this then turns to each other and starts talking about suicide and how to stop it. That's just Netflix giving themselves too much credit and thinking they're more important than they are.
Because they have nothing else to say, they dont know how actual teenagers think or behave so its not like they can say they relate to anyone, they arent helping anyone, if anything they are causing MORE harm, and even they know the show isnt entertaining so they cant even say its all for the sake of drama If I was an actor on this series (I would leave if I could but im sure all of them are chained by contracts) I would just refuse any interviews about the show, even if im not allowed to trash it id at least not praise it
@@BryantheArchivist The Duffer Brothers said (when the show begin) it would end at around season 4-5. They have a story in mind and I think we should let them finish telling it before we judge it.
@@dairycow4466 It's a disingenuous comparison anyway. Though the quality varies from season to season, every single season of Stranger Things is objectively better than anything after season 1 of 13 reasons. Writing, directing, acting, all better by miles. People might not like the story, or the characters of Stranger things, but the quality is undeniably better than seasons 2,3, and 4 of 13 reasons.
He's a Gary Stu basically. Portrayed as perfect and flawless, treated like he can do no wrong and like he's always right and can get away with anything.
Same,with no consequences i could kill more people than ww2 and could destoy entire nation and walk in tge streets with no one caring,but that wont stop people calling me ugly or attaing reputation
Can we talk more about my most hated part of this season, CLAY? Specifically, the fact that he never has to take responsibility for his actions... 1. Crashes Zack's car and leaves him for dead. Zack gets kind of mad at him part of the next episode and that ends quickly. 2. Takes a cop''s gun and waves it around at a school full of students and faculty. Gets tackled by cops and checked into a mental facility but does not get arrested or charged. 3. Breaks out of a psych ward. He gets to go home. 4. Walks into a police station and screams he has a gun in front of multiple officers. A cop hugs him and sends him home. 5. This is all beyond the main portion of the season which is covering up the murder of Brice. Is this kid legally immortal???
Doesn't take responsibility? he's too busy taking responsibility for everyone else lmao. Lets not forget he spent a whole season being suspected for murder AND arrested which contributed to his mental breakdown in season 4 because his "friends" decided to beat up and kill Bryce.
@@agtl3168 Let's back it up and ask the question of why Clay was being suspected in the first place? It's because he continuously made himself look guilty. Every character in the show had issues with Brice even before the rape situation but while they all were frustrated by this student that got away with so much because he came from a rich family and starting quarterback, none of them went to the guy's house threatening to kill him (which was caught on camera) or screaming threats to the guy in the halls of the school full of students. That was all Clay. His friends were pretty much suspects because they associated with Clay. The final season broadens his issues dramatically but he was by no means perfect before. Even this guy points out that walking in front of Tyler holding a gun was a dumb idea, and not reporting the situation was even worse (that second part you can also contribute to the rest of the cast). Bottom line, he does so much crap throughout the show, but this last season pretty much took his one or two illegal activities a season and cranked it up with not a single repercussion.
@@seanpariser7300 Yes they did. Justin threatened to kill Bryce multiple times, other kids did, even the mother did. And yes, walking infront of the gun WAS a dumb idea. However, you're missing context. Had it been anyone else Clay would have never done that, but it was Tyler. And Clay knew deep down that Tyler didn't really want to go through with that. You wanted Clay to report the situation and have Tyler possibly kill multiple people before the cops show up, or have no one die? The idea might have been stupid, but that doesn't matter because the end result was perfect. No one died. Clay did some stupid things, suffering with his mental health, but idunno why people point that out, when Zach and Alex literally got away with beating and killing Bryce. Hell, Bryce literally got away with rape LOL
@@agtl3168 I'm gonna have to disagree. Yes, it is true that more than just Clay threatened Brice, but Clay broadcasted his hatred of Brice to the world and on multiple occasions. Merely threatening Brice was only a single example of how much the writers allowed Clay to get away with. As far as "Clay knowing deep down that Tyler didn't want to go through with that", that idea is more of an assumption. I would like to think that any kid who brings weapons to their school do not want to go through with the action, but that is sometimes true and sometimes wishful thinking. Think of the torture Tyler went through with Monte. I would never condone shooting up a school but from what the audience knows, we can slightly understand where his actions are coming from. Back to Clay, he is reckless beyond comparison to the others. Most of his problems would go away if he simply told his very successful parents. He probably has the most stable family (mentally and financially) out of all the characters. His Dad is a dam psychologist for crying out loud, and his Mom is a lawyer. Even Justin, the guy who lets men have their way with him to score drugs can see that. They come into his life and he is going to rehab and caring about his grades. As far as the others go, I just think the writers were having too much fun adding in random crap like Zack and Alex destroying a principle's office or even Zack's alcoholism (which slightly makes sense until we remember this guy is supposed to be a 17-year-old kid). All-in-all, Clay is the only character that actively makes trouble for himself and others and as I said before, never has to take responsibility for his actions.
For any non-Americans wondering - yes we do have lockdown drills in the States. BUT they, like all other drills (e.g. fire, tornado), are ALWAYS announced beforehand, typically at the start of the school day. The drill can happen at any time that day, but it's for the exact reason seen in the show that everyone is forewarned. Anyways, f this show
other drills arent always announced beforehand tho. once my school made a surprise fire drill and even set off smoke from the construction site on campus to convince us all it was real.
Clay literally had a personality disorder and extremely detailed hallucinations, to the point that he could even communicate with his hallucinations (possibly some form of schizophrenia). He was also clearly mentally unstable to a degree that he's a danger to others, considering he set up explosions without even being aware of his actions. These kinds of issues need extensive medication, and possibly the care of a closed psychiatric facility. This isn't the kind of thing that can be resolved by saying goodbye to Hannah and getting a new girlfriend. The fact that this show treats such extremely serious mental illnesses so casually yet still claims to be informative, and more than just cheap drama, seriously makes me mad 凸(⊙▂⊙✖)
Your point is severely undercut by the emoticon at the end. But I agree, this show handles sensitive topics about as well as an elephant handles a bag of chips.
@@sirapple589 tnx, english isn't my first language so I appreciate the grammar professor in this case (I still like to use emoticons for emphasis every once in a while though, I don't think that they are necessarily detrimental to a point as long as it isn't overdone)
ADVISORY FOR ALL NON-AMERICANS: this show is nowhere near how 99.9% of american schools/teens are. hollywood loves to do this with most social/political issues. it's rarely done in an honest or constructive way and just feels like propaganda by the end. TLDR; this whole show sucks
Wait, so you're telling me that teenagers in the USA are *not* sexy 21-year-olds who go on drug orgies every other day? Hollywood wouldn't lie to me like that!
@Ks (Funny to see you again) When was the attempted rape though? You mean when he was standing in that room with the asleep girl or am I forgetting a scene? But yeah, that boy would soooo rot in prison for the rest of his life. Accessory for murder can get you thirty years alone.
Even then, it was still awful. Suicidal people wouldn't leave tapes behind like some big master plan. It's so melodramatic and unrealistic, it's disgusting
@@cryguy0000 Yeah it was bad but we aren't saying it was good we are just demonstrating how much the show has changed from it's original course and plot just because Netflix wants to milk it dry so much
@@cryguy0000 There's nothing disgusting about a fictional drama not being realistic. They went too far with the suicide scene, but there's nothing else that's worth getting offended by.
@@TheFire1290 the suicide scene isnt the issue. The story is the issue. There is a trigger warning for softy’s which can’t watch the scene. It’s the entire story that falls short. It’s over dramatized for the message they are trying to convey. If they just said this was a normal show that wasn’t raising awareness (which it isn’t) then it would be fine. It’s just for entertainment. But no, they sold it off as they’re trying to raise awareness for issues in the world. Which is false, they just needed a security net to fall back on if they took heat for the show.
Not necessarily, while schizophrenics experience mostly auditory hallucinations (it is why a lot of them think god is talking to them), visual hallucinations aren’t uncommon.
It is a response to grief, but it is very rare for it to be seen the way it is, unless in someone with a psychotic disorder in which hallucinations are a common thing. Normally with grief, it would be momentarily mistaking someone for the deceased, or seeing them out of the corner of your eye, but the moment they start talking is when there's a serious problem and get help immediately.
I love how Justin, though he had little to do with the main plot, was the one character who actually made an effort to change and become a better person, ended being the one dying.
And HIV doesn't usually progress to AIDS and kills so fast. Nowadays people survive decades and decades without symptoms. It was so out of nowhere and forced.
What even was the message of killing Justin? I used to think his character was sending the message that no matter how hard a person messes up in life or is broken, there is always HOPE for a better path by making the right choices. But when they killed him, they shattered everything of that message. I think it is clear to say that this show has no other point than to show tragedy. It is just written by a bunch of sadists who believe people are destined to live in a cruel world
It sent the message that no matter how hard you try, some people are just destined to be the supporting character to a rich white cishet boy. Preferably make said supporting character an ethnic minority or gay (or both)
It honestly would have better if they had started over with new characters in a different school dealing with someone else's suicide/murder/schoolsh00ting. There are so many other directions for the show to go. Idk why Netflix is so set on only using these boring ass characters who would have already graduated high school by now and who would have totally forgotten about Hannah almost entirely.
It would've been better if they'd dropped a nuke on the town so that the characters and their worthless "problems" could've evaporated into the nothingness they deserved.
I agree. In the first season I was pretty sure that they were all juniors and the show made it seem that way, but somehow they were only freshman? I think they had to do that to keep the show going and so they could make a season for each year of their high school class but still it was a major plot hole, but can't really blame them because they probably did not plan on making 3 more seasons before the first season came out.
@@graham121 that's probably true I bet they didn't know they were going to get more seasons but like I said they could have gotten creative and had Clay transfer schools because of all the drama that happened or just start over with whole new characters. That's what I would have done. The story from that school was already told and wrapped up. There are just so many other more interesting characters and stories they could have told if they ditched the characters from the first season. Or if they'd still focused on that school but a different grade and different students than they did. I was so looking forward to the second season I thought for sure it was going to go in a school sh00ter direction. I think this show in particular makes me so angry because I can see the potential it had. It was a show that wasnt afraid to show a suicide or talk about it. They could have even based the second season off a different young adult book like Speak or Insatiable. I feel like that would have been a really cool direction to take it in. Insatiable is an amazing book but no one ever talks about it. It follows four different highschool girls living four different lives with four different types of eating disorders and they all go to the same school but most of them don't know each other. It would have been so interesting and cool to do that.
@@WhitneyDahlin I completely agree. I think the reason why the first 2 seasons where amazing and it was a downward spiral after that was just because it got too unrealistic and the story had already been told. The first 2 seasons focused on actual issues that many high schoolers experience but once it got to the point of murdering a rapist then blaming the murder on another rapist and all the other crazy stuff that happened in the later seasons it just was way more unrealistic. The shows original purpose was to show the real serious problems that high schoolers face, but elaborately covering up a murder, multiple people having full on visual hallucinations, and all the other wild stuff that happened just made the show worse in my opinion. I think they should've gone a different direction with the storyline after it was pretty much wrapped up at the end of season 2. I like your idea of focusing on a different grade or students we never knew at Liberty, that would've been cool. I think it would've been really interesting if they focused on the adults in the show while they were in high school and what they had to deal with growing up. Maybe they could've focused on Mr. and Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. Baker, Tony's parents, and Mr. Walker. or if they did this as a spin off show after all 4 seasons they could've also shown Ani's mom, Clay's therapist, Sheriff Diaz, etc. Overall I think it would be cool to see this idea for a show, showing real high school struggles, in a different way instead of continuing to have to make the storyline crazier and crazier to the point where it's unbelievable just to add more seasons. Honestly the best direction they could've taken after season 2 would've been to just start over with a whole new plot with new characters, a new location, and tackling different issues. I think it was just lazy writing to just create content in the last 2 seasons in my opinion. Sorry if this is too much to read haha I just enjoy writing about it because I loved the show and don't have anyone to talk to about it.
Here's a hot take: You know how every episode this season starts with one of them giving a eulogy at the funeral of a character that is revealed to be Justin? As far I'm concerned, it should've been Clay. Why? First off, I'm fucking tired of doing whatever he fucking wants without consequences. Secondly, Justin's death happened so that they could have a dramatic, emotional finale, let's be honest with ourselves. Finally, and here's my real point, it feels like it'd be a natural conclusion for Clay. Think about it: starting from Hannah Baker's suicide, here's been on an absolute downward spiral, and the fact that he himself had unchecked mental issues didn't help his case. I could go on, but I just feel it'd be more.... organic, and less of a slap to the face if the funeral was for someone who died as a direct result of the events of the season.
I agree. It should have been clay. It didn't make sense for them to kill off Justin. Especially since they spent season 2 trying to 'rehabilitae' him after being on the streets and try to give him remorse. This whole show is a mess now lmao
I would say that the show should’ve just ended after Season 1, but really, it shouldn’t have been made in the first place. Netflix had no idea how to handle the topic of suicide (they went directly against the recommended guidelines for portraying suicide).
bill murray is a banana well you gotta remember just because it’s made by netflix, doesn’t mean it has the same writers! 13rw was a shit show unlike bojack
What I want to know is how they managed to get into the colleges they applied to when they had murders/rapes/potential school shootings/ghosts etc going on. When did they have time to focus on their academic studies?
The fact they killed Justin for no reason, covered up a school shooting incident, blamed a murder on someone innocent who then died in prison, and ALL of them get a random happy ending is making hate each and every person behind this show. How did anyone look at the script and say " Yeah this is fine" ???????
Uhhh Monty wasn’t innocent in the slightest. Guy violated Tyler with a mop handle, tried to encourage Alex to kill himself, tried to kill Clay, put a sex doll on someone’s porch to re-enforce their traumatic assault experience. Otherwise I agree
So basically, this show continuing after the first season is like having The Odyssey continue after Odysseus returns to Ithaca and kills the suitors, only now we follow along his daily life as he does his grocery shopping and fights with his neighbors
To summarise why this show is actually horrible: 1. Characters don’t have personalities, they are defined by their mental illness ( which is very contradicting because the show wanted the moral to be that people aren’t defined by their mental illness) 2. It’s basically a checklist, trying to fit in every single issue in one show. 3. The story isn’t progressive (since season 1 at least) none of the characters grow and learn. 4. It has no real message, basically what they’re saying is: there is bad stuff in the world, it sucks. And that’s just a few of the reasons, despite this I did actually enjoy season 1 of this show, but every other season is dragging the show on for too long to try and make more money off of it. It should’ve ended at season 1 in my opinion, but even that season certainly had its faults. Edit: Dear everyone replying basically saying: no, you can’t think that! You have to think what I think! Please relax and let me have my opinion and you can have yours, there is no point in trying to start an argument because I simply won’t reply. If my comment is really that horrible to you than just keep scrolling.
And on the far opposite end, we have BoJack Horseman, a more realistic take on mental health and suicide. When you're less realistic than a talking horse, maybe the showrunners need to just retire.
Just saying The View From Halfway Down Has the strongest anti suicide message I've seen in ANY media, the lines of the poem being delivered with more terror and urgency as it represents getting closer to the ground is impactful and stays with you. Who would ever want to feel that kind of fear. Thats how you do anti suicide
I feel like Bojack works because as much as it is a look into mental illness and other heavy themes, it’s also a comedy. So all the crazy stuff that happens doesn’t feel out of place. It also knows when to ground itself for the serious moments
I went into BoJack because "haha funny animated horse" but man, they managed to find all my biggest and deepest fears and made me rethink my life and outlook on the world. It would be incredibly hard to ever top that show
Such an awkward and clumsy attempt of portraying mental health, it's so implausible that it makes the issue almost laughable...oh and it suddenly becomes a horror movie halfway through too
We do have active shooter drills in America, but everyone knows that they’re happening and all we do is the principal makes an announcement on the speaker that we are on lockdown and we stay in our locked classrooms for like 20 minutes while the teacher goes over what to do in the event of a shooter being on campus and we watch a video that the police station makes on what to do in different scenarios of an active shooter. I don’t know if any schools do what 13 reasons why did, but it is probably unlikely as the drills are supposed to prepare you(although it is extremely hard to prepare for something like that) and not traumatize you
Omar Sabir Well you have to be 18 to buy a shot gun or rifle and 21 to buy any other firearm and you have to go through screenings and background checks. Unfortunately many people either get them from parents or family members who don’t secure them properly or they buy them illegally on the black market
in actual lockdown drills they literally tell you it's a drill and it's nowhere near as dramatic as shown in this show lol edit: apparently they don't tell you at some schools, personally I've never experienced it but it doesn't really surprise me that this actually happens
Not true. They are wildly inconsistent across America, as our police forces are. They can be overly dramatic and sometimes they don't inform the students. Look into news stories about these lockdown drills getting out of hand, with parents and teachers lobbying complaints. You actually made me defend this trash show. SMH
Clorox Bleach actually i read that some schools do have unannounced drills where masked "intruders" shoot blanks or rubber pellets. seems pretty traumatizing.
"Starting a conversation" "Important for dealing with heavy topics" Actually, ya know what's *really* important for dealing with topics like these? Dear Evan Hansen. Why? Because it portrays these characters as actual people, both Evan and Connor aren't *meant* to be sympathized with. Evan was a dick and pushed everyone who cared about him behind and Connor was very abusive to his sister and just straight up a monster to his parents. And they most certainly don't get away with everything in the way that Clay does. Connor is ostracized by his peers and his entire family hates him, and it's well deserved. Evan Hansen also doesn't get the forgiveness of anyone but his mom, which again, is well deserved. It portrays mental illness far better than 13 reasons why ever could
The only way that actor can redeem himself is to at least pretend he only did it for the money. At a certain point any reasonable thinking person in his position what is least have to question what is going on. Like how do you have a minimum of 10 different main character costar actors and have them not talk to each other the entire time and at least five of the conversations throughout this entire series between them be “ lol the script says what”. The show is just astronomically moneygrubbing and makes Tele Novelas seem tame in comparison.

Yeah this show is like 30 years behind in that regard. HIV/AIDS is so much more manageable than it ever has been before. I haven’t seen this show but it made it seem like he died only a few months after finding out he had it. Another example of the writers just trying to shove every social issue they can into a show until it’s bloated.
That has to be the most counter productive lockdown drill of all time. "Let's train our students to panic and have mental breakdowns when we have lockdowns. That should keep them nice and safe."
Ive been through regular drills and a scenario where a false alert was called. During the drill, everybody in class was making jokes and taking it very casually. During the false alert, police came by with their guns drawn and we were legit scared for their lives but still quietly joked with eachother about our last words and dying wishes as a way to cope. People recorded videos of themselves and texted their friends and families. No one made phone calls crying for help and no one started panicking or screaming. We all just hid and kept quiet. This show is fucking insane.
Tyler the guy who instead of just wanting to shoot Monty and his friends, the guys who sodomised him with a mop wanted to shoot up the whole school saying that is hypocritical. He deserved to have his life ruined.
13 Reasons Why was the revolutionary attempt to make soap operas that appealed to modern teens. It failed miserably because it didn't know it was a soap opera, but it's landmark in TV history will remain forever.
The most offensive thing about the show is how it acts like some revolutionary resource for learning when in reality it's some awful convoluted teen drama with zero self-awareness.
Season 1 was stupid if taken seriously but It had a consistent plot and was entertaining overall. The other seasons were a cluster fuck. Well, at least season 4 was hilarious if you take it as an overly produced shitpost
At most, the show should have ended after season 2. At least season 2 does connect back to the first season with the court case and testimonies being revolved around Hannah Baker's suicide, which was the main plot of the book/first season with finding out the reasons as to why she took her life. I don't understand why seasons 3 and 4 are there because they literally do not connect with Hannah's story at all.
I respected the novel. So much. The writing was... pretty good for 15 year old me. I mean, it fit the demographic. I like how the story ended too, it's Clay telling Skye not to take her life after noticing her mannerisms after listening to the tapes. It felt simple and open ended. How did it become .... like this? It didn't need to be milked to so many seasons.
In that scene where Clay grabs an officer’s gun during the drill he would have been shot IMMEDIATELY like you cannot grab an officer’s gun and wave it around in a school full of children especially in America he would have died so fast (unless the guns were fake idk I didn’t watch this garbage season)
American here: lockdown drills do happen, but it's nothing like the show. Usually it's more like, the teacher tells you a drill is gonna happen followed by everyone moving out of view of the doors and windows and turning the lights off. The biggest "fear" involved is the teacher getting mad or getting in trouble because you were giggling too loud while making quiet dick jokes. Typically an officer will walk around the building and make sure he can't see or hear anyone hiding in the classrooms and that the doors are locked. Not scary, and not even remotely the same as portrayed by this garbage show.
Canadian here: it's similar but it's treated a bit more seriously. Most of the time the staff just jiggle the doorknob a bit and bang on the door before moving on. But I know it's not as dramatic as the show potrays it to be.
DUDEABOT6000 oh shit I almost forgot that we had school shooting drills, at the time it seemed so normal and just apart of life instead of an issue that needed to be solved lmao
i had a mentally scarring lockdown in 3rd grade where they announced that it was a "red jaguar lockdown" (the code word for a real lockdown in our school), i remember being in a classroom with 3 other kids and a teacher who couldn't tell us what was going on for some reason. We ended up praying because some kid was scared that if he died he would end up in hell and so we sat there, crying, shaking, and praying with each others hands in our own hands, with the lock down sirens blaring, until it ended. It turns out that it was a fucking bear, it wasn't spotted even near the school, it was just in the general vicinity, i get having the kids be put into classrooms just in case but having a full lockdown and not being allowed to tell them whats happening, thats horrible.
you guys remember that one episode in adventure time where it's revealed that ice king has memory loss and he used to take care of marceline before the war and marceline tries to get him to remember but he can't and they sing a song at the end and the lyrics were about ice king's struggle to keep his sanity due to basically needing the crown to survive and how he's sorry if he doesnt remember her and does bad things??? that short 11minute episode taught me more about mental health than all of 13 reasons why
We do have drills for those "lockdown situations" in America, but it's always confirmed to be a drill before it starts. Schools would never just randomly do a drill like that (at least mine never did), they'd tell the teachers at least a day before, which would inevitably lead the students to know. Heck, even when the announcement happens they specify that it's a drill. So yeah, the only things this show got correct was: 'Suicide happens' and 'People feel emotions'
Also, a school that pulled that would risk a MASSIVE backlash from the parents once the kids told them. 13 Reasons Why really diminishes the impact that parents have towards the school system. Sure, parents are brushed under the rug when they don’t have any power to sue or when the school is in someone’s pocket, but such a massive event affecting multiple students would definitely not go unnoticed.
Wouldnt that be horrible though? Imagine hearing on the intercome "We are having a lochdo-" and then it suddunely cuts off. Yall would think the intercom guy got shot of something?!
@@magzjay2458 do you mean the staff or the parents? because from what i've read, the parents find out after the fact and the staff cannot share anything on the matter.
Why is there more than one season for this. The entire purpose was to follow a dead girls thirteen audio tapes detailing why she committed suicide. That was wrapped up in the first season so why even have the other 3 seasons exist?
The inclusion of the “ghosts” strikes me as someone who doesn’t know how to write inner-turmoil/conflict creating an excuse for characters to just say their inner monologue out loud w/o it having any plot consequence or bearing on their actual relationships. Which is particularly cheap considering they already have an opportunity to do this with the narrator. I don’t envy having to actually sit through this show, but it’s been a hell of a lot of fun to hear about it secondhand.
I know, adding ghosts to the story is just corny, and while Clay being able to speak to deceased characters in public was one thing, suddenly EVERYONE seems to be able to converse with ghosts now and nobody even questions their mental health! 👻🤦🏻♀️
Adding ghosts can be done REALLY well when added properly. Narcos perfectly pulls it off when Pablo talks to his cousin Gustavo at the end of his life on the run. You just have to make sure that it fits the personality of the characters involved, fit the tone, and not be used as a crutch or blatant exposition. If you can write a ghost in to help a character during a moment of moral weakness, despair, poor perspective, or similar internal conflicts you can create a really impactful SCENE (keyword). Overuse and misuse just churns out this kind of melodramatic fluff
There’s a kind of “ghost” character in Next to Normal, which was mentioned, but there it actually made sense I think. The character was supposed to represent the mental illnesses of the characters, and how the death of that character still looms over the characters after so many years. This also kind of acts as a sort of inner monologue or inner turmoil, but they’re still their own character. The ghosts in 13 reasons why acted more as different facets of the character they haunt, but in the musical they seem more complicated than that. Idk, that’s just my opinion. It’s honestly one of my favorite musicals, so I suggest whoever is reading this to check it out :P
Jackson Smith This makes me think of Dexter - Harry, Dexter’s adopted father, exists as a source of grounding for Dexter’s personality, which is inherently devoid of empathy
the fact that some great Netflix shows didn't got pass Season 1 but this trash fire got 3 MORE even though just 1 (as an adaptation of the book) was enough is beyond me...
@Jam Drew Shock value, every season finale had something to shock and people would talk about it (ex: Hannah's graphic suicide, Monty raping Tyler), and more people would watch it. Also, some people watched it to trash it and that elevates the rating
The people making this show have said “spark a conversation” so many times that it stopped sounding like a common turn of phrase and started sounding like a phrase they invented
In the US we have lockdown drills about once a month were the teachers would block out all windows/lock the door and we would sit on the floor where it would be hardest to see us from the door. A janitor would then come by and check that the door was locked. Students aren't allowed to talk during the lockdown. Everyone is aware that whenever a lockdown is called it is nearly impossible that it isn't a drill.
seriously what school would announce a school shooter when most students are not in a classroom (most susceptible places like hallways bathrooms and library. not tell anyone and make no effort to announce when they notice panic of the students. so unrealistic school are terrifired of lawsuits and wont do anything like this that has such a high rate for random and bad stuff to happen, when they could easily announce it and cover thier tracks
Lol at my school in Australia one year some teachers dressed up as criminals to check the doors and stuff during a lockdown drill but I guess they didn’t tell everyone and the cops where called and it turned into a real lockdown lmaoo
once a month?! here in Malaysia all the schools here might have fire drill like once a year and that's it. I cannot imagine how annoying it would be to have drill every month or the constant horrifying school shootings.
This show starts all sorts of conversations. Like... "Wow that's a very poor depiction of mental health" "Damn, this plot makes no sense!" or my favourite "Why are we watching this?"
@@vocalcalibration8033 least they could have done was say "it's just a prank bro" or send a rick roll the parents and say it was an important message...has that amount of seriousness to it.
I just can't believe they ended it with everyone getting away with murder. They're a bunch of teenagers that got away with murder! not to mention the amount of anger, screaming, violent deaths and overall drama was waaayy over the top.
This show should of never been made. There is a reason that suicide is covered in a specific way to not encourage people on the fence. Most reports don't go into detail about how a person did it because it's been proven to encourage people who are thinking of doing so to follow suit. There was an uptick in teen suicides directly after the show came out. It didn't help, it harmed. It's gross and should be taken to court and made into a law so that shows like this with this topic can't be made in this terrible way. Suicide should be talked about, it shouldn't be a topic society ignores, but it needs to be done with care and scientific backing as to what the best ways to get the message across are. And for realism? Please, this show wasn't realism at all. Even past the terrible characters and beyond terrible people that don't generally exist in real life, at least not all at the same school, the actual coverage of the affect suicide has is just sugar coated. You want realism? Show her freaking out about what's she's done and the pain she's in. Then show her dead and show the parents freaking out. Then show the devastating affects of the girl being gone to the people whom she affected. Don't have her being a ghost, she's dead, she doesn't get to see or know the damage that it caused. Show that it's not a vengeance thing and the only people she's hurting are those who cared about her. Others move on. Suicide steals a piece of the people who cared about the victim and everyone else moves on. Seriously, most of the school would forget, but her friends and family and anyone close to her are scarred for life. The whole vengeance fantasy is such BS and all this stupid show did was perpetuate it, then go off the rails about the entire point for money. Suicide is the ultimate mess up of the brain. This demonstrably false idea that somehow people are better off with out a person or that the person is better off not existing. It's an ultimate distortion of survival instincts and everything our body and brain does to keep us alive. Sinking so deep into depression and a false nightmare world filled with lies but you're there alone and the only thing you can hear are those lies. It's like the most depressing form of ego-driven ideation that tells you you are worthless when you just factually aren't. Depression should be taken far more seriously than it is. It literally kills people when left untreated.
The saddest part is, they had a scene were Hannah slit her wrists and was in immense pain. It's very graphic. When the parents walk in they are very upset obviously and the acting is incredible. Anyway they removed that becuase some people told them to.
An unexpected intruder drill with ACTIVE FIRE would NEVER pass in America (despite what Europeans tend to believe). Parents would be too pissed off and they would DEFINITELY have a lawsuit on their hands
actually, believe it or not, some schools actually do. they're called ALICE drills. they have masked intruders shoot blanks or rubber pellets, and often, they are unannounced.
parents, students and educators have all complained from what i can tell. it's incredibly traumatizing for both the staff (who know its a drill) and the students, who sometimes do not.
@@sadezem991 I had the ALICE system for school safety in my private middle school and we never had anything like what was shown in the show. Not sure if that was because it was middle school, but it really does not seem like that would go over well if it was happening. I have read that they have used active shooter drills in the past, in the recent years following the Columbine tragedy, but I feel like those types of drills are probably not still happening just because of the trauma it causes
They did have an active shooter drill at my high school, but it was a charter school that helped train students to become cops, 911 dispatch, EMT, and CSI so I feel like it’s a little different
That movie where the bullied main character goes bat-shit crazy and starts killing her bullies with her psychic powers was honestly way better. Edit: Carrie
@@KaneK1234 I honestly know none that do it even remotely close to this extent, but yes if I saw a show glorifying a mental health issue I would take issue with it no matter what the show, because it's a very sensitive issue that needs to be handled correctly or it could cause disasterous effects
I feel like in such a toxic school environment, noone would ever come out as gay. My school had a good environment and I was still the only gay guy who was out. Just because peer pressure is really strong. But god, the show is so stupid.

@@dgm66 no one studies in netflix originals and they all somehow end up in top universities
I know right. I want to watch the show but I don’t want to watch kids having sex. I know high school kids have sex I just don’t want to watch kid characters in sexual situations. This show seems to really focus on their bodies trying to make it a “hot” scene like adult characters. I want to see pressures of test taking or school performances lol
Most of them are probably having a class only for the sounds of gunshots to be heard. The newer kids ask what's going on and the teachers and older students probably say "Oh just another school shooting. We get a lot of them at Liberty High. Just ignore it." Sunnydale High School from Buffy the Vampire Slayer had less of a body count and that town was full of vampires, demons, werewolves, ghosts, zombies and so on.
Now I want a show that is about the extras trying to live their lives but all the crap the main characters pull interfere with them
I like how every time clay threatens people with a gun he gets away with it. The other characters just think to themselves "oh clay, back with your silly gun again".
"That great prankster Clay Jensen threatening to shoot people. He's a riot."
These characters grow into the middle aged adult families and victims of the serial killers in Criminal Minds.

I mean, if I was a director I could come up with ideas to stretch out of how Bryce Walker and Montgomery de la Cruz are doing around hell with Justin Foley. But that is about it. Asides from just doing a literal spin off and revamping it kind of like the same approach of General Hospital. But many Hospital shows are kind of boring at this point. Except for The Good Doctor that portrays autism in the best accurate way possible instead of like pulling an Autism Speak misinforming a lot of people false stuff and being like Peta but to autistic people.

@@Ebbs134 he said he thought it is
Wait, it's not? It seems like something Pyro would make a thumbnail of.
Why are these people so obsessed with "starting a conversation"?
Because that's Netflix's defence against any criticism of the show. Even though nobody watches episodes of this then turns to each other and starts talking about suicide and how to stop it. That's just Netflix giving themselves too much credit and thinking they're more important than they are.
Because they have nothing else to say, they dont know how actual teenagers think or behave so its not like they can say they relate to anyone, they arent helping anyone, if anything they are causing MORE harm, and even they know the show isnt entertaining so they cant even say its all for the sake of drama
If I was an actor on this series (I would leave if I could but im sure all of them are chained by contracts) I would just refuse any interviews about the show, even if im not allowed to trash it id at least not praise it

Can we talk more about my most hated part of this season, CLAY? Specifically, the fact that he never has to take responsibility for his actions...
1. Crashes Zack's car and leaves him for dead. Zack gets kind of mad at him part of the next episode and that ends quickly.
2. Takes a cop''s gun and waves it around at a school full of students and faculty. Gets tackled by cops and checked into a mental facility but does not get arrested or charged.
3. Breaks out of a psych ward. He gets to go home.
4. Walks into a police station and screams he has a gun in front of multiple officers. A cop hugs him and sends him home.
5. This is all beyond the main portion of the season which is covering up the murder of Brice.
Is this kid legally immortal???
Doesn't take responsibility? he's too busy taking responsibility for everyone else lmao. Lets not forget he spent a whole season being suspected for murder AND arrested which contributed to his mental breakdown in season 4 because his "friends" decided to beat up and kill Bryce.
@@agtl3168 Let's back it up and ask the question of why Clay was being suspected in the first place? It's because he continuously made himself look guilty. Every character in the show had issues with Brice even before the rape situation but while they all were frustrated by this student that got away with so much because he came from a rich family and starting quarterback, none of them went to the guy's house threatening to kill him (which was caught on camera) or screaming threats to the guy in the halls of the school full of students. That was all Clay. His friends were pretty much suspects because they associated with Clay. The final season broadens his issues dramatically but he was by no means perfect before. Even this guy points out that walking in front of Tyler holding a gun was a dumb idea, and not reporting the situation was even worse (that second part you can also contribute to the rest of the cast). Bottom line, he does so much crap throughout the show, but this last season pretty much took his one or two illegal activities a season and cranked it up with not a single repercussion.
@@seanpariser7300 Yes they did. Justin threatened to kill Bryce multiple times, other kids did, even the mother did. And yes, walking infront of the gun WAS a dumb idea. However, you're missing context. Had it been anyone else Clay would have never done that, but it was Tyler. And Clay knew deep down that Tyler didn't really want to go through with that. You wanted Clay to report the situation and have Tyler possibly kill multiple people before the cops show up, or have no one die? The idea might have been stupid, but that doesn't matter because the end result was perfect. No one died. Clay did some stupid things, suffering with his mental health, but idunno why people point that out, when Zach and Alex literally got away with beating and killing Bryce. Hell, Bryce literally got away with rape LOL
@@agtl3168 I'm gonna have to disagree. Yes, it is true that more than just Clay threatened Brice, but Clay broadcasted his hatred of Brice to the world and on multiple occasions. Merely threatening Brice was only a single example of how much the writers allowed Clay to get away with. As far as "Clay knowing deep down that Tyler didn't want to go through with that", that idea is more of an assumption. I would like to think that any kid who brings weapons to their school do not want to go through with the action, but that is sometimes true and sometimes wishful thinking. Think of the torture Tyler went through with Monte. I would never condone shooting up a school but from what the audience knows, we can slightly understand where his actions are coming from. Back to Clay, he is reckless beyond comparison to the others. Most of his problems would go away if he simply told his very successful parents. He probably has the most stable family (mentally and financially) out of all the characters. His Dad is a dam psychologist for crying out loud, and his Mom is a lawyer. Even Justin, the guy who lets men have their way with him to score drugs can see that. They come into his life and he is going to rehab and caring about his grades. As far as the others go, I just think the writers were having too much fun adding in random crap like Zack and Alex destroying a principle's office or even Zack's alcoholism (which slightly makes sense until we remember this guy is supposed to be a 17-year-old kid). All-in-all, Clay is the only character that actively makes trouble for himself and others and as I said before, never has to take responsibility for his actions.

At least, in theory idk-
For any non-Americans wondering - yes we do have lockdown drills in the States. BUT they, like all other drills (e.g. fire, tornado), are ALWAYS announced beforehand, typically at the start of the school day. The drill can happen at any time that day, but it's for the exact reason seen in the show that everyone is forewarned.
Anyways, f this show
Huh I live in America too but our school would randomly have lockdowns and fire drill once every month. And they were never announced for us
It’s the same in the uk except we have a specific time and we would be told
E T it’s told to the teachers. In the show even the teachers don’t know
@@et5216 I'm not sure that's normal. I've been to at least 13 or 14 schools and we were always informed.
other drills arent always announced beforehand tho. once my school made a surprise fire drill and even set off smoke from the construction site on campus to convince us all it was real.
Clay literally had a personality disorder and extremely detailed hallucinations, to the point that he could even communicate with his hallucinations (possibly some form of schizophrenia).
He was also clearly mentally unstable to a degree that he's a danger to others, considering he set up explosions without even being aware of his actions.
These kinds of issues need extensive medication, and possibly the care of a closed psychiatric facility. This isn't the kind of thing that can be resolved by saying goodbye to Hannah and getting a new girlfriend.

Aren't visual hallucinations supposed to be extremely rare? And yet everyone in this show seems to have them all the time
No, they're real ghosts. Don't believe what you see. The System and Big-Thirteen-Reasons-Why are lying
Not necessarily, while schizophrenics experience mostly auditory hallucinations (it is why a lot of them think god is talking to them), visual hallucinations aren’t uncommon.
It is a response to grief, but it is very rare for it to be seen the way it is, unless in someone with a psychotic disorder in which hallucinations are a common thing. Normally with grief, it would be momentarily mistaking someone for the deceased, or seeing them out of the corner of your eye, but the moment they start talking is when there's a serious problem and get help immediately.
I have schizophrenia, and my experience isn’t ubiquitous, but I’ve never had a true visual hallucination. Only mistaking silhouettes for other things
That’s how it is in 13 Reasons Why land.

does anyone know the name of the video where IHE strangles a minion in his front pocket (NOT sexually)?
What even was the message of killing Justin? I used to think his character was sending the message that no matter how hard a person messes up in life or is broken, there is always HOPE for a better path by making the right choices. But when they killed him, they shattered everything of that message.
I think it is clear to say that this show has no other point than to show tragedy. It is just written by a bunch of sadists who believe people are destined to live in a cruel world
I think it was, they just decided to go back on it for more shock.
yeah, it was barely any follow-up on any tragic things happening, it's only for fillers, money, shoCkK
My guess is they had nothing left to do with his character and wanted to (poorly) tackle yet another serious issue.
It sent the message that no matter how hard you try, some people are just destined to be the supporting character to a rich white cishet boy. Preferably make said supporting character an ethnic minority or gay (or both)

@Cliff racer. Clearly you’re not familiar with Bayside. Unless your in the core group, you disappear.
Never mind, they’re the same.
Frr and I say this as a person whose school is run by a karen (pls save us)
It honestly would have better if they had started over with new characters in a different school dealing with someone else's suicide/murder/schoolsh00ting. There are so many other directions for the show to go. Idk why Netflix is so set on only using these boring ass characters who would have already graduated high school by now and who would have totally forgotten about Hannah almost entirely.
It would've been better if they'd dropped a nuke on the town so that the characters and their worthless "problems" could've evaporated into the nothingness they deserved.
I agree. In the first season I was pretty sure that they were all juniors and the show made it seem that way, but somehow they were only freshman? I think they had to do that to keep the show going and so they could make a season for each year of their high school class but still it was a major plot hole, but can't really blame them because they probably did not plan on making 3 more seasons before the first season came out.
@@graham121 that's probably true I bet they didn't know they were going to get more seasons but like I said they could have gotten creative and had Clay transfer schools because of all the drama that happened or just start over with whole new characters. That's what I would have done. The story from that school was already told and wrapped up. There are just so many other more interesting characters and stories they could have told if they ditched the characters from the first season. Or if they'd still focused on that school but a different grade and different students than they did. I was so looking forward to the second season I thought for sure it was going to go in a school sh00ter direction. I think this show in particular makes me so angry because I can see the potential it had. It was a show that wasnt afraid to show a suicide or talk about it. They could have even based the second season off a different young adult book like Speak or Insatiable. I feel like that would have been a really cool direction to take it in. Insatiable is an amazing book but no one ever talks about it. It follows four different highschool girls living four different lives with four different types of eating disorders and they all go to the same school but most of them don't know each other. It would have been so interesting and cool to do that.
@@WhitneyDahlin I completely agree. I think the reason why the first 2 seasons where amazing and it was a downward spiral after that was just because it got too unrealistic and the story had already been told. The first 2 seasons focused on actual issues that many high schoolers experience but once it got to the point of murdering a rapist then blaming the murder on another rapist and all the other crazy stuff that happened in the later seasons it just was way more unrealistic. The shows original purpose was to show the real serious problems that high schoolers face, but elaborately covering up a murder, multiple people having full on visual hallucinations, and all the other wild stuff that happened just made the show worse in my opinion. I think they should've gone a different direction with the storyline after it was pretty much wrapped up at the end of season 2. I like your idea of focusing on a different grade or students we never knew at Liberty, that would've been cool. I think it would've been really interesting if they focused on the adults in the show while they were in high school and what they had to deal with growing up. Maybe they could've focused on Mr. and Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. Baker, Tony's parents, and Mr. Walker. or if they did this as a spin off show after all 4 seasons they could've also shown Ani's mom, Clay's therapist, Sheriff Diaz, etc. Overall I think it would be cool to see this idea for a show, showing real high school struggles, in a different way instead of continuing to have to make the storyline crazier and crazier to the point where it's unbelievable just to add more seasons. Honestly the best direction they could've taken after season 2 would've been to just start over with a whole new plot with new characters, a new location, and tackling different issues. I think it was just lazy writing to just create content in the last 2 seasons in my opinion. Sorry if this is too much to read haha I just enjoy writing about it because I loved the show and don't have anyone to talk to about it.
I don’t think the characters are boring
Here's a hot take:
You know how every episode this season starts with one of them giving a eulogy at the funeral of a character that is revealed to be Justin?
As far I'm concerned, it should've been Clay. Why?
First off, I'm fucking tired of doing whatever he fucking wants without consequences.
Secondly, Justin's death happened so that they could have a dramatic, emotional finale, let's be honest with ourselves.
Finally, and here's my real point, it feels like it'd be a natural conclusion for Clay. Think about it: starting from Hannah Baker's suicide, here's been on an absolute downward spiral, and the fact that he himself had unchecked mental issues didn't help his case. I could go on, but I just feel it'd be more.... organic, and less of a slap to the face if the funeral was for someone who died as a direct result of the events of the season.
Also it'd finally give some consequences to Hannah's beyond-the-grave punch to maybe, finally, at last, suggest it wasn't the best thing to do.
Justin deserves bettet
It shoulda been Zach.
I agree. It should have been clay. It didn't make sense for them to kill off Justin. Especially since they spent season 2 trying to 'rehabilitae' him after being on the streets and try to give him remorse. This whole show is a mess now lmao
I would say that the show should’ve just ended after Season 1, but really, it shouldn’t have been made in the first place. Netflix had no idea how to handle the topic of suicide (they went directly against the recommended guidelines for portraying suicide).
What baffles me is they hosted Bojack horseman, a show that dealt with heavy topics in an infinitely better way
Netflix has some really good shows but the majority is complete garbage
bill murray is a banana well you gotta remember just because it’s made by netflix, doesn’t mean it has the same writers! 13rw was a shit show unlike bojack
What I want to know is how they managed to get into the colleges they applied to when they had murders/rapes/potential school shootings/ghosts etc going on. When did they have time to focus on their academic studies?
Clearly they had tests and homework based on murders/rapes/potential school shootings/ghost
Have you seen their houses? Those fuckers are rich and most likely got in on that alone. Plus Clay’s dad is a professor. That might something. Idfk.
The fact they killed Justin for no reason, covered up a school shooting incident, blamed a murder on someone innocent who then died in prison, and ALL of them get a random happy ending is making hate each and every person behind this show. How did anyone look at the script and say " Yeah this is fine" ???????
They must have been on so many drugs.
This show should be an example on how not to write a story.
Uhhh Monty wasn’t innocent in the slightest. Guy violated Tyler with a mop handle, tried to encourage Alex to kill himself, tried to kill Clay, put a sex doll on someone’s porch to re-enforce their traumatic assault experience.
Otherwise I agree
this whole show is such a clusterfuck of a dumpster fire, that i totally forgot it was about the tragic story about a girl taking her own life.

Underrated comment
"Staht a convosahtion"
Reality: make money off mental issues while acting like youre being different
To summarise why this show is actually horrible:
1. Characters don’t have personalities, they are defined by their mental illness ( which is very contradicting because the show wanted the moral to be that people aren’t defined by their mental illness)
2. It’s basically a checklist, trying to fit in every single issue in one show.
3. The story isn’t progressive (since season 1 at least) none of the characters grow and learn.
4. It has no real message, basically what they’re saying is: there is bad stuff in the world, it sucks.
And that’s just a few of the reasons, despite this I did actually enjoy season 1 of this show, but every other season is dragging the show on for too long to try and make more money off of it. It should’ve ended at season 1 in my opinion, but even that season certainly had its faults.

Just saying
The View From Halfway Down
Has the strongest anti suicide message I've seen in ANY media, the lines of the poem being delivered with more terror and urgency as it represents getting closer to the ground is impactful and stays with you. Who would ever want to feel that kind of fear.
Thats how you do anti suicide
I feel like Bojack works because as much as it is a look into mental illness and other heavy themes, it’s also a comedy. So all the crazy stuff that happens doesn’t feel out of place. It also knows when to ground itself for the serious moments
I went into BoJack because "haha funny animated horse" but man, they managed to find all my biggest and deepest fears and made me rethink my life and outlook on the world. It would be incredibly hard to ever top that show

We do have active shooter drills in America, but everyone knows that they’re happening and all we do is the principal makes an announcement on the speaker that we are on lockdown and we stay in our locked classrooms for like 20 minutes while the teacher goes over what to do in the event of a shooter being on campus and we watch a video that the police station makes on what to do in different scenarios of an active shooter. I don’t know if any schools do what 13 reasons why did, but it is probably unlikely as the drills are supposed to prepare you(although it is extremely hard to prepare for something like that) and not traumatize you
How can 16 year olds buy guns this easily? Shouldn't you be at least 18 or 21 to buy guns.
Omar Sabir Well you have to be 18 to buy a shot gun or rifle and 21 to buy any other firearm and you have to go through screenings and background checks.

"Starting a conversation" "Important for dealing with heavy topics"
Actually, ya know what's *really* important for dealing with topics like these? Dear Evan Hansen. Why? Because it portrays these characters as actual people, both Evan and Connor aren't *meant* to be sympathized with. Evan was a dick and pushed everyone who cared about him behind and Connor was very abusive to his sister and just straight up a monster to his parents. And they most certainly don't get away with everything in the way that Clay does. Connor is ostracized by his peers and his entire family hates him, and it's well deserved. Evan Hansen also doesn't get the forgiveness of anyone but his mom, which again, is well deserved. It portrays mental illness far better than 13 reasons why ever could
Absolutely. Though the format that Dear Evan Hansen took means that many people will never even know that it exists.

Yeah this show is like 30 years behind in that regard. HIV/AIDS is so much more manageable than it ever has been before. I haven’t seen this show but it made it seem like he died only a few months after finding out he had it. Another example of the writers just trying to shove every social issue they can into a show until it’s bloated.

Ive been through regular drills and a scenario where a false alert was called. During the drill, everybody in class was making jokes and taking it very casually. During the false alert, police came by with their guns drawn and we were legit scared for their lives but still quietly joked with eachother about our last words and dying wishes as a way to cope. People recorded videos of themselves and texted their friends and families. No one made phone calls crying for help and no one started panicking or screaming. We all just hid and kept quiet. This show is fucking insane.

American here: lockdown drills do happen, but it's nothing like the show. Usually it's more like, the teacher tells you a drill is gonna happen followed by everyone moving out of view of the doors and windows and turning the lights off. The biggest "fear" involved is the teacher getting mad or getting in trouble because you were giggling too loud while making quiet dick jokes. Typically an officer will walk around the building and make sure he can't see or hear anyone hiding in the classrooms and that the doors are locked. Not scary, and not even remotely the same as portrayed by this garbage show.
Canadian here: it's similar but it's treated a bit more seriously. Most of the time the staff just jiggle the doorknob a bit and bang on the door before moving on. But I know it's not as dramatic as the show potrays it to be.
Teachers have notified us every time we have done a lockdown drill. They tell us precisely what is going to happen.
DUDEABOT6000 oh shit I almost forgot that we had school shooting drills, at the time it seemed so normal and just apart of life instead of an issue that needed to be solved lmao
i had a mentally scarring lockdown in 3rd grade where they announced that it was a "red jaguar lockdown" (the code word for a real lockdown in our school), i remember being in a classroom with 3 other kids and a teacher who couldn't tell us what was going on for some reason. We ended up praying because some kid was scared that if he died he would end up in hell and so we sat there, crying, shaking, and praying with each others hands in our own hands, with the lock down sirens blaring, until it ended. It turns out that it was a fucking bear, it wasn't spotted even near the school, it was just in the general vicinity, i get having the kids be put into classrooms just in case but having a full lockdown and not being allowed to tell them whats happening, thats horrible.

We do have drills for those "lockdown situations" in America, but it's always confirmed to be a drill before it starts. Schools would never just randomly do a drill like that (at least mine never did), they'd tell the teachers at least a day before, which would inevitably lead the students to know. Heck, even when the announcement happens they specify that it's a drill.
So yeah, the only things this show got correct was: 'Suicide happens' and 'People feel emotions'
Also, a school that pulled that would risk a MASSIVE backlash from the parents once the kids told them. 13 Reasons Why really diminishes the impact that parents have towards the school system. Sure, parents are brushed under the rug when they don’t have any power to sue or when the school is in someone’s pocket, but such a massive event affecting multiple students would definitely not go unnoticed.

13 Reasons Why Are We Still Here. Just To Suffer
*Joker stairs dance*
The inclusion of the “ghosts” strikes me as someone who doesn’t know how to write inner-turmoil/conflict creating an excuse for characters to just say their inner monologue out loud w/o it having any plot consequence or bearing on their actual relationships. Which is particularly cheap considering they already have an opportunity to do this with the narrator.
I don’t envy having to actually sit through this show, but it’s been a hell of a lot of fun to hear about it secondhand.
Caesar
Jk, 13 reasons why was trash
I know, adding ghosts to the story is just corny, and while Clay being able to speak to deceased characters in public was one thing, suddenly EVERYONE seems to be able to converse with ghosts now and nobody even questions their mental health! 👻🤦🏻♀️
Adding ghosts can be done REALLY well when added properly. Narcos perfectly pulls it off when Pablo talks to his cousin Gustavo at the end of his life on the run. You just have to make sure that it fits the personality of the characters involved, fit the tone, and not be used as a crutch or blatant exposition. If you can write a ghost in to help a character during a moment of moral weakness, despair, poor perspective, or similar internal conflicts you can create a really impactful SCENE (keyword). Overuse and misuse just churns out this kind of melodramatic fluff
There’s a kind of “ghost” character in Next to Normal, which was mentioned, but there it actually made sense I think. The character was supposed to represent the mental illnesses of the characters, and how the death of that character still looms over the characters after so many years. This also kind of acts as a sort of inner monologue or inner turmoil, but they’re still their own character. The ghosts in 13 reasons why acted more as different facets of the character they haunt, but in the musical they seem more complicated than that. Idk, that’s just my opinion. It’s honestly one of my favorite musicals, so I suggest whoever is reading this to check it out :P
Jackson Smith This makes me think of Dexter - Harry, Dexter’s adopted father, exists as a source of grounding for Dexter’s personality, which is inherently devoid of empathy
Bro is this even the same show anymore?! I thought the first season was about a girl who committed suicide.
Dylan Minnette doesn’t look like he wants to be in this. Just let the man play with his band.
He doesn't have a gun to his head.
Jeremy Dirr well he did have a contractual obligation up until the 4th season
@@dirrdevil His character on the other hand loved pointing guns at other people's heads.
I hope they paid him at least a fuck load of money for it
the fact that some great Netflix shows didn't got pass Season 1 but this trash fire got 3 MORE even though just 1 (as an adaptation of the book) was enough is beyond me...
@Jam Drew Shock value, every season finale had something to shock and people would talk about it (ex: Hannah's graphic suicide, Monty raping Tyler), and more people would watch it. Also, some people watched it to trash it and that elevates the rating
@Jam Drew highly recommend Bojack Horseman, it looks dumb and the first few episodes aren't that great, but it's actually really good.
@@beecrimes it's on my list to watch actually :D
@Jam Drew also i'd like to recommend some animated shows like Little Witch Academia, Castlevania, Glitch Techs, Hilda, etc.
The people making this show have said “spark a conversation” so many times that it stopped sounding like a common turn of phrase and started sounding like a phrase they invented
It really is like a marketing blurb.
McDonald's - I'm lovin' it.
Nike - Do It.
13 Reasons Why - Start a conversation.
The fact that the actors even said it in interviews makes it seem like even their interviews are scripted.
@@Xehanort10 what the hell else could you say? I think it's either that or hysterical laughter
Not surprising netflix gave this 4 seasons, The company that enjoys dumping good shows and shoveling in crap like cuties and the kardashians.
Netflix cancels actual good shows but keeps giving this show more crap seasons.

@@galaxyglider3829 I know. I just still a little hurt. I loved it too much. Shoulda taken Honey Sugarman's advice.
In the US we have lockdown drills about once a month were the teachers would block out all windows/lock the door and we would sit on the floor where it would be hardest to see us from the door. A janitor would then come by and check that the door was locked. Students aren't allowed to talk during the lockdown. Everyone is aware that whenever a lockdown is called it is nearly impossible that it isn't a drill.
seriously what school would announce a school shooter when most students are not in a classroom (most susceptible places like hallways bathrooms and library. not tell anyone and make no effort to announce when they notice panic of the students. so unrealistic school are terrifired of lawsuits and wont do anything like this that has such a high rate for random and bad stuff to happen, when they could easily announce it and cover thier tracks
to be fair during my 4 years my school had like 2-3 lockdowns (NOT drills) but they were all false alarms lmao
And yet despite doing this frequently, my class would never shut up and always failed the drills.
Lol at my school in Australia one year some teachers dressed up as criminals to check the doors and stuff during a lockdown drill but I guess they didn’t tell everyone and the cops where called and it turned into a real lockdown lmaoo
once a month?! here in Malaysia all the schools here might have fire drill like once a year and that's it. I cannot imagine how annoying it would be to have drill every month or the constant horrifying school shootings.
This show starts all sorts of conversations. Like...
"Wow that's a very poor depiction of mental health"
"Damn, this plot makes no sense!"
or my favourite
"Why are we watching this?"
What about "what kind of school would not say an active shooter drill wasn't a drill till the end like it was some elaborate prank?"
@@jacobc8036 That too.
@@vocalcalibration8033 least they could have done was say "it's just a prank bro" or send a rick roll the parents and say it was an important message...has that amount of seriousness to it.
@@jacobc8036 I mean why stop there. When Clay pulls the mask off the shooter, instead of himself it's, like, that dancing alien meme guy.
@@vocalcalibration8033 that is terrible! Brice sing Despocito!
I just can't believe they ended it with everyone getting away with murder. They're a bunch of teenagers that got away with murder! not to mention the amount of anger, screaming, violent deaths and overall drama was waaayy over the top.
This show should of never been made. There is a reason that suicide is covered in a specific way to not encourage people on the fence. Most reports don't go into detail about how a person did it because it's been proven to encourage people who are thinking of doing so to follow suit.
There was an uptick in teen suicides directly after the show came out. It didn't help, it harmed.
It's gross and should be taken to court and made into a law so that shows like this with this topic can't be made in this terrible way.
Suicide should be talked about, it shouldn't be a topic society ignores, but it needs to be done with care and scientific backing as to what the best ways to get the message across are.
And for realism? Please, this show wasn't realism at all. Even past the terrible characters and beyond terrible people that don't generally exist in real life, at least not all at the same school, the actual coverage of the affect suicide has is just sugar coated. You want realism? Show her freaking out about what's she's done and the pain she's in. Then show her dead and show the parents freaking out. Then show the devastating affects of the girl being gone to the people whom she affected. Don't have her being a ghost, she's dead, she doesn't get to see or know the damage that it caused. Show that it's not a vengeance thing and the only people she's hurting are those who cared about her. Others move on. Suicide steals a piece of the people who cared about the victim and everyone else moves on. Seriously, most of the school would forget, but her friends and family and anyone close to her are scarred for life. The whole vengeance fantasy is such BS and all this stupid show did was perpetuate it, then go off the rails about the entire point for money.
Suicide is the ultimate mess up of the brain. This demonstrably false idea that somehow people are better off with out a person or that the person is better off not existing. It's an ultimate distortion of survival instincts and everything our body and brain does to keep us alive. Sinking so deep into depression and a false nightmare world filled with lies but you're there alone and the only thing you can hear are those lies. It's like the most depressing form of ego-driven ideation that tells you you are worthless when you just factually aren't. Depression should be taken far more seriously than it is. It literally kills people when left untreated.
Thank you
Beautifully written and eloquently articulated!
Well said
The saddest part is, they had a scene were Hannah slit her wrists and was in immense pain. It's very graphic. When the parents walk in they are very upset obviously and the acting is incredible.
Anyway they removed that becuase some people told them to.
*should’ve (Should have)

An unexpected intruder drill with ACTIVE FIRE would NEVER pass in America (despite what Europeans tend to believe). Parents would be too pissed off and they would DEFINITELY have a lawsuit on their hands
actually, believe it or not, some schools actually do. they're called ALICE drills. they have masked intruders shoot blanks or rubber pellets, and often, they are unannounced.
parents, students and educators have all complained from what i can tell. it's incredibly traumatizing for both the staff (who know its a drill) and the students, who sometimes do not.
@@sadezem991 I had the ALICE system for school safety in my private middle school and we never had anything like what was shown in the show. Not sure if that was because it was middle school, but it really does not seem like that would go over well if it was happening. I have read that they have used active shooter drills in the past, in the recent years following the Columbine tragedy, but I feel like those types of drills are probably not still happening just because of the trauma it causes
They did have an active shooter drill at my high school, but it was a charter school that helped train students to become cops, 911 dispatch, EMT, and CSI so I feel like it’s a little different
That movie where the bullied main character goes bat-shit crazy and starts killing her bullies with her psychic powers was honestly way better.
Edit: Carrie
That sounds cringe and edgy af
Xei Bei Did you just call Carrie edgy and cringey....?
@@xeibei4804 that was the point

“Touching upon tough subjects”
In other words: “Glorifying mental health issues”
Basically.
Loads of shows glorify mental health. Are you this angry with them?
@@KaneK1234 Yeah! Anyone who handles mental ills like this are absolutely POSes.
@@KaneK1234 I honestly know none that do it even remotely close to this extent, but yes if I saw a show glorifying a mental health issue I would take issue with it no matter what the show, because it's a very sensitive issue that needs to be handled correctly or it could cause disasterous effects
@@KaneK1234 Yes
This show is very realistic. Just like highschool drama, nobody cares and nothing matters, and everyone forgets about it the next episode
Are you ok there?
That’s a whole load of bull 🧿🧿
I think real life might have a few more repercussions.
PSA: Don’t start screaming about a gun in a police station. They have more...
I feel like in such a toxic school environment, noone would ever come out as gay.
My school had a good environment and I was still the only gay guy who was out. Just because peer pressure is really strong.
But god, the show is so stupid.
shut up
@@nope7389 imagine being so lonely that you reply to a month-old comment with 'shut up' and nothing more. Your neckbeard is probably about as bushy as mine.

the part that most bothered me was that clay kept doing such crazy things. and getting away with it! he stole gun and threatened a police station. he crashed a car and dipped. he escaped an insane asylum
