Came out March 31st, give it a watch. Only halfway through and this is fantastic and very well done.

Anyone seen it yet or started it?

quote:

Newcomer Katherine Langford plays the role of Hannah, a young woman who takes her own life. Two weeks after her tragic death, a classmate named Clay finds a mysterious box on his porch. Inside the box are recordings made by Hannah -- on whom Clay had a crush -- in which she explains the 13 reasons why she chose to commit suicide. If Clay decides to listen to the recordings, he will find out if and how he made the list. This intricate and heart-wrenching tale is told through Clay and Hannah's dual narratives.

I watched it over the weekend. I had read the book so knew what it was about, and thought it translated well into a mini series. I would definitely recommend it.

My daughter and I both read the book about a year or so ago and I thought it was really good. Haven't started the show yet but she has watched several and has said it's good.

Watched it over the last couple of days. I knew nothing about it going in and more or less stumbled upon it. That said it's very, very well done. It's a gripping show but it will also frick with your emotions as well. Extremely dark, but very good. It'll stick with me for a few days.

I'm on episode 9 and agree it's a good show. I've enjoyed it so far. I mainly wanted check it out in 4k and also like the kid that plays Clay Jensen.

Watched the first episode. The dialogue is very bad. I am not sure if it's meant for people my age though.

Yeah, the book is a young adult book it says.

I thought it was just a sad drama coming of age type until the I think 3rd episode when it begins to turn dark, beyond hooked at that point.

Same goes for me. I try to watch it as a parent of a child that age just to see if I can learn anything.

Started watching this a few days ago and finished tonight. frick this hit me hard. Was recommended to watch it by a friend, now I wish I could unwatch it. Worked in a movie theater in high school as well as through a few first years in college, had a stumbling relationship with a girl there that I have regrets about, could relate to the main leads through some of it.

Suicide has impacted my life in other aspects as well, just hit home hard.

I have mixed feelings about the ending, too much angling for a second season. This would of been better as a one season.

Hit me hardest because I'm a single father of a daughter that same age.

Had a few thoughts on that too. My daughter is 2, this show scared the living hell out of me as well for what is to come.

Last episode had me balling like a little schoolgirl. Just the thought of my daughter having to hold something in like those girls did me in. Then, having to hear your daughter crying telling you what happened to her is every parent's nightmare.

Is that that kid who is not Logan Lerman?

Watched the second episode last night and it was a big improvement over the first episode. Not nearly as much bad dialogue.

Although that Alex guy getting with Jessica confused me because I could have sworn they were alluding to that Alex guy being gay.
