13 Reasons Why

I enjoyed it even though to many it was uncomfortable viewing, I look forward to seeing what direction series 2 goes in.

Does anyone know when exactly season 2 is going to be available? Is it at midnight tonight?

I found the first season for this really interesting and unlike most things these days rather thought provoking, it was a great concept so I'm very interested to see how things develop in season two.

This was probably one of the most difficult programmes I've ever watched (people who've seen the show will know the episode I mean) and although it was a hard watch at times I commend the writers, actors and everyone involved in creating this show - I'd like to hope this programme can have a positive impact on teenagers who are struggling to cope with life for whatever reasons.

I've watched the first 4 episodes of season two and so far I'm loving it.

Just watched that! Omg, so excited about what could come next!

Finished the series today and I have to say I think that THAT scene in the finale crossed a line. I understand they’re trying to raise awareness and start a conversation as they say but I think it was just too much considering the series is aimed mainly at young adults and teens younger than me (17).

Even though the age-rating is 18 I still think it’s being marketed to teens of maybe 15 up. The show just has the teen-drama vibe about it, and they use social media, especially instagram, a lot to promote the show so I think they’re definitely targetting the young adults/teens. The fact is that the 18 warning won’t do much to stop younger teens from watching it, not many parents put the parental lock on Netflix in my experience and it’s pretty easy to watch the series illegally online anyway. The show’s also based on a young adult novel, so although I think they began with the purpose of aiming this at teenagers, the material in it is starting to become too mature for us.

I've recently re-read the book so here are all the differences I can think of:
Clay listens to all the tapes in the span of one evening, the only plot-relevant people he bumps into are Marcus (throwing rocks at Tyler's house) and Ryan (following him to make sure he's listening to the tapes).
Sheri is called Jenny
The order of the tapes goes Justin, Alex, Jessica, Tyler, Courtney, Marcus, Zach, Ryan, Clay, Justin again, Jenny, Bryce, Mr Porter
Justin spread rumours that they'd gone further than kissing, no picture was involved
Courtney and Tony aren't gay (Ryan isn't confirmed either way)
Courtney spread rumours of what she'd found in Hannah's room and invited her to a party only to treat her as a taxi ride, there was no picture involved with her either
Tyler wasn't on the tapes for spreading a picture around, it was for stalking her and making her feel unsafe in her own room
Hannah cuts her hair during the Marcus/Zach events (more significant than it sounds, because it's noted that one sign of being suicidal is a sudden change in appearance)
Justin and Jessica weren't dating at the time of the party, they just hooked up. Justin didn't offer much resistance to Bryce wanting to go in the room either.
The hot tub incident happens at Courtney's house, not Bryce's. Courtney was the only other person in the hot tub with them and got out and left when Bryce started getting handsy.
The poem Ryan publishes is different, it makes more reference to being alone and no lacy underwear.
There's no mention of Hannah's parents sueing the school.
Clay sends the tapes on to Jenny the next morning, nothing happens with the 2nd set that Tony has.
Clay doesn't send out a picture of Tyler

That's all the significant changes I can think of, the wording of the tapes and dialogue is different as well

So in the book was the ‘problem’ as widespread as the huge boxful of photos suggested ? And was ‘that scene’ in it? Or as suggested by media was it added to the TV series to attract ratings and conversation?
