Based on Jay Asher’s book Thirteen Reasons Why, the season dealt with timely, terrible teen issues, ranging from bullying and cutting to sexual assault and, of course, suicide.īut along with the buzz came controversy-a lot of it. Last year, the first season of 13 Reasons Why exploded into a bona fide cultural phenomenon for Netflix, launching a thousand think pieces and becoming one of the streaming service’s most-binged shows. “If that’s true, why am I here?” School Spirits “You don’t care about me anymore?” she asks Clay. But that, we know, is a bold-faced lie: Hannah literally haunts him-even striking up conversations when the moment seems right. Once one of Hannah’s best so-so friends and would-be beau, Clay claims not even to think about the dead girl anymore. But now, in death, she’s somehow more influential-more alive, perhaps-than ever. She may have been bullied and marginalized when she was alive. If the first season was all about Hannah speaking from beyond the grave via old-school cassette tapes, this season it’s the students’ turn, with each one divulging their guilt, lies, hurt and recriminations under oath, so help them God.Īnd while the school has banned all talk of suicide on school grounds, what happened to Hannah can’t be forgotten or-in some cases-forgiven. Every day, another student is dragged to the court’s witness stand, unveiling the raw, sometimes bitter truth of Hannah’s descent into despair … and revealing uncomfortable truths about themselves in the process. But that’s pretty much impossible, now that Hannah’s mother, Olivia, is suing the school for not doing enough to save her daughter.
Many at Liberty, particularly the folks who run the school, would rather forget all about Hannah. But the pretty high school student’s tragic tale continues to haunt the halls of Liberty High … in more ways than one. It’s been months since Hannah Baker killed herself.
