It makes me sad that people do this; the same thing happened with Eugene in The Walking Dead after he did a bad. People were accosting Josh McDermitt. This just goes to show the state of our times. Our population is growing crazily and internet is readily available to anyone. Sooooo, mentally unstable people get access to the internet.

So glad Clay got the cut on his forehead, or I would’ve been SO confused with all the flashbacks

[@maxfolsom9159]

I thought the same thing while watching. That’s probably why they did it.

[@donavenhollow5709]

That cut on his forehead was actually intended to be there so you could easily tell if it was a flashback or present day. They also made the image warmer when Hannah was alive and colder when she was gone

[@SaintHannah93]

I though the kiss Clay and Hannah had at the dance was in Clay’s head after she died because he regretted not kissing her when he had the chance??

[@fidassino4611]

there are a few mistakes as i see they told that they said Jeff and Clay became close friends but didnt say it was flashback as they say when it is

[@mistirworldwide8966]

On clay's tape I was balling my life out of my eyes. It was so adorable of when they kissed and when she said his nickname "Helmet" i just died

[@mrmustache1125]

“Hannah meets a hot librarian” and “Bryce beats the sh*t out of clay” are the most relatable moments in this recap

[@majagt7299]

Just me or the serious manner of how they’re speaking about the bad things makes me love them both more? I honestly love them both so much

[@TheDawnOf99]

I think it is interesting how in Season 1, Clay's style was average for a Sophomore in High School. But in season 2, Clay wore black skinny jeans, solid black shirts, and a black jacket (it was not exactly a jacket but I don't know the name of it). I love when shows pay attention to every little detail. This change of style is so realistic and it is a real thing. For me, on days where I felt off, I would wear comfy clothes that weren't exactly stylish. I prefer being comfortable rather than looking good. Just had to point that out about this show. I hope everyone is having a great day. ^-^

[@MINTYknight]

Still don’t think Zach deserved a tape...

[@wendiepatterson8548]

_katiejaye - Then S2 Happened.

[@bjorgsen3384]

@@wendiepatterson8548 I think S2 gave more reasons for Zach not having to deserve a tape. Zach apologized about his mistakes and Hannah accepted it. They even enjoyed their time together. I just don't get it why Hannah still chose to include him to the tapes even though they made up in the Summer before she took her life.

[@aislesaveu8595]

Zach had become one of my favorite characters. He’s flawed but trying so hard to make everything right

[@Kaia.Duval.]

@@bjorgsen3384 She still chose to include him because the original story didn't have any season 2, the writers made it up after season 1. Zach's new story in s2 makes even less sense as in why she included him than it did in s1. I think this is a huge plot hole for the writers.

Magalie Diaz probably cuz justine is portrayed as the bad guy

[@spiralSZN]

I think it's because he was doing all the flashback stuff which is where all the delicate things happened. Nothing that delicate happened in the present day stuff which is the side of the story Justin was telling

Zach is my absolute favourite character, he is such a sweet guy, but just got mixed up with the wrong people❤️

[@ahhwe-any7434]

Kind of. Well, in relation to his friends, he's a little more tolerable. But I think it's funny when I guess the sports director guy gets into it w/ the counselor while they were trying to break up the massive student dude fight in the hallway & clay? Takes his cheap shot at horror charector dude. and then Courtney rolls her eyes like boys... 😒🤦🏻‍♀️. Then pulls the fire leverage thing down. &Personally, I think Jessica is the most relatable. For me at least. Kind of sort of. But more than the others.

[@lydiarose3963]

it’s so hard to separate justin’s role with himself and i hate myself for that bc he seems like a pretty lovely person in real life but it’s SO hard to not see him as bryce walker. my mind is just-

[@AJ-cq5pw]

Everyone keeps saying justice for Jeff, what happened to Jeff was an accident. A pure coincidental accident. How about #justiceforjessica.

[@xiopaovid1215]

Aliyah Jordan I think people are saying Justice for Jeff because he didn't deserve to die. All because Sheri cared more about not getting in trouble instead of doing whats right. He died unfairly.(and when I say unfairly I mean if Sheri would've reported it, his accident could've been prevented, and he'd still be alive)

[@AJ-cq5pw]

Xiomara Videz I don't know I'm still iffy about that tape. Yeah maybe she should've reported it but I mean accidents happen. Whether there was a stop sign or not you still have to stop and look both ways before turning. That's why I feel what happened was pure coincidental. I understand her feeling guilty because I'm sure I would too but at the end of the day it was an accident. People crash into each other and sometimes unfortunately someone dies. It sucks but that's just life.

[@xiopaovid1215]

Aliyah Jordan Yeah you're right.

[@zahara5472]

Aliyah Jordan indeed so thought accidents do happen i think she still should have reported it though.

[@AJ-cq5pw]

ExoGotInfiniteBts I get that but I mean we've all made mistakes and we've all been in situations when we should've done something and didn't but that doesn't make Sheri a bad person. And I'm not saying that that's what you were saying.

[@NerdyGamerReacts]

I've never been so moved, and hurt by so many things at once, this show had me sobbing so many times, (especially seeing Hannah committing suicide) , I honestly was bawling on the last 2 episodes as well, this show is so good, in a weird way because it's true to life, this kind of tragic story happens everyday, people (like Bryce), and Mr. Porter, exist, sadly, they hear something that they don't take seriously, then something bad happens and they then have to deal with the repercussions of it. Excited to see season 3. 🙂

[@victoriapedraza6096]

My parents won’t let me watch the show but after watching this it makes up for not being able to watch it

[@Bobaxbulbasaur]

It’s really upsetting about Justin gettin hate. If you hate Bryce that means Justin did an amazing job bringing the character alive. Justin himself has said that he went through suicide, lost a friend to suicide and has a few friends who have been sexually assaulted. I think he wanted to take this role to help those see the signs. It’s annoying to see people not being able to see the difference, you’re immature

[@juliaswan5050]

You can see at 16:15 that Justin doesn't feel OK about what Bryce did.

[@silvia2402]

Yeah, he feels uncomfortable i mean who wouldn't be if they had to talk about that type of topic? Plus it's his character & everyone keeps confusing his character & real life personality
