With suicide, rape, assault, mass shootings, and addiction, 13 Reasons Why Season 2 prides itself on sparking conversation. This isn’t a bad thing. Media has the power to really impact us and provide new perspective on our lives and the world around us.
Last year, Netflix addressed complaints about "13 Reasons Why" with a message at the beginning of the series asking viewers to reach out to a suicide prevention network if they are affected by the content. There is also a new video message that plays at the beginning of the series that warns some viewers it "may not be right" for them if they struggle with any of the issues the series is about.
The second season depicts troubling issues, but critics say it doesn't pull enough from the source material and loses the narrative structure of the first season, which some say has been problematic.
In my opinion, it was quite enjoyable with a lot of interesting plots. I was especially touched by how Jessica tried to deal with her rape and get her strength back. I adored seeing Justin's attempts to get his life together
One thing that made me cringe though is how the series tried to humanize Tyler so much that it almost seems like his final decision at the end of the series was justifiable...
