13 Reasons Why (2017–2020)
5/10
It was ok, but far-fetched...

Warning: Spoilers
The series portrays Hannah as a girl with a victim complex, holding a handful of people accountable for her demise and exiting life having not to answer for her own accountabilities when her friend was raped or when she was witness to an incident that led to another students death. Instead she recorded her own faults by washing it down with blame on everyone else who was unaware of what she knew, and kept to herself. The writers of the series winged it and intentionally made a punching bag out of this character, pointing blame on those who were not directly responsible other than a rapist who again is paraded throughout a 2nd season, but ignored it through the last 11 episodes of the first season even when all the characters who listened to the tapes had no clue about it until Clay listened to the tape? And a mother who is deep-seated into casting blame for profit in a lawsuit against a school? did she forget that her daughter was raped after listening to the last tape? yet continues the lawsuit against the school? everything about this series is illogical... the only realism in this series was buried in order to continue to cash in on the title with more and more episodes, dragging it and painting more acts of treachery which makes everyone conscious about it 5 months later? even when those acts vindicated those on the tapes from being accused or feeling responsible throughout the first season? And who in their right mind would not hand the tapes to the police? Is Zach's crime really a crime? is it even bullying? So season 2 now has to create a reason why he didn't do anything because he was a coward to come forward? when did the writers decide that?
