#13ReasonsWhy is likely the best and greatest TV show based on high school reality in regards what many teen students suffer around the country (and other countries world wide [just do some research]). Or, simply one of the greatest and best TV show of all time. The only reason why it got a lot of backlash, is due to Selena Gomez' being part of the show. We know that the Spanish name is hardly tolerated in this country, but the Mexican name/background even less. 13 Reasons Why, for those who ACTUALLY care for others who suffer the multiple types of harassment in at school, has given the world an educated way at looking at these matters. It has given attention for them for open discussion, when such things were/are being ignored. Bullying, rape, violence, etc., are part of some peoples lives as jr. high through college students, and without a strong voice to be heard world wide, it would keep being put on a shelf and let criminals get away with such crimes and the victims will keep suffering since the victims tend to be the seeming weakest. The ones who join the backlash movement on anything, are the ones who want chaos and crime to keep happening to others. They come out as "social" media police when its convenient for them, when it suits their biases and prejudices, when it happens to only those they identify with. I guarantee had Selena's name not been in it, the show would have been LOVED by the great and overwhelming majority, it would have even likely won various Emmys. Thankfully, there still remains on this planet some, which can be many, who are loyal to honesty and reality, and we know 13 Reasons Why to be a very, very good show. This show demands attention. It demands intellect from viewers. It provides intellect to viewers. It provides the real deal and raw deplorable circumstances many such aged-students live through. Yet, the ones speaking out against the show, are the ones who show they really and actually don't care, and what they do care about is they would have wanted someone else other than Selena being part of the production. They instead make information for those who suffer more difficult to access. It helps make those who suffer less likely to seek help. It helps schools be less likely to take action against the criminals.

[@gendercryptid]

Season 1 - rape culture and how it is totally okay to revenge suicide as long as you have very detailed tapes to make everyone feel bad about what the did. Season 2 - more rape culture, bullying is bad, school shootings can be stopped with a good heart to heart Season 3 prediction - Abortion rights, how rich people can get away with anything, and more bullying is bad storyline. Oh, and Clay finds another girlfriend who is emotionally unstable in some way.

[@KookiesNolly]

by the way, Netflix released a "behind the scenes" or something like that (the same kind of stuff they did with stranger things) where they invited a psychologist and she's discussing some topics with one of the writers and directors of the show. She literally said that what clay did at the end was WRONG. She said people should just call the police in this situation instead of risking their lives. I can definitely see young teenagers trying to emulate Clay because he's presented like a hero in this scene and getting themselves killed as a result. It's just one of the many things that the show gets wrong about the topics it's trying to present. It advocates the exact opposite of what should be done because the writers and just fucking everyone involved in the making of this garbage show are too lazy to google this shit. GOD!

[@gendercryptid]

Eli N.S yeah I heard about that. It is actually hilarious since I am sure they had people saying do not write that shit into the show and the writers just ignored it because they think they are making some amazing PSA show. Like dudes, you aren't. You are writing shit. It's like no one on the writing staff has dealt with mental illness, sexual trauma, bullying, or even remembers what high school was like. Still can't believe it was greenlit for a 3rd season.

[@asuspiciousavocado3317]

*+Angelisa Hassan* Well, there's always a thing called "exception". However, for the majority of time, this act will result in death. If you're stuck in a room with the shooter, then talking IS THE ONLY OPTION, so it's not stupid to try it. If you're not, you shouldn't just run into them in order to try to make them stop *by the powah of luv.* You should get out of the school before they catch you and call the police.

[@gFamWeb]

The main issue for me is how close Season 2 gets to the truth, but then contradicts itself. Skye: look, therapy helps, and my suicide attempt wasn't your fault, Clay. Clay: I won't tell anyone I'm hallucinating because it won't help, also Hannah's suicide is my fault. Show: No one's gonna help you, not your school, not the justice system. You're on your own. School Official: We're not letting you talk about suicide because some people may admire what she did and commit suicide themselves. Clay: Lol, you're wrong, silence doesn't help. Show: *glorifies and mishandles these sensitive topics* IRL: *man actually commits suicide and leaves audio recordings* (look it up, it actually happened) Showrunners: Why are people criticizing our show?

[@davesvens8697]

Also a girl did the almost same thing with notes noting 6 reasons why she killed herself after seeing the show. So.... Yeah...

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

Thoughts; I’m not an expert but the legal case against the school was weak, as presented. I wasn’t at all surprised by the verdict. In the real world the parents would have settled and taken that lesser victory.~ I found the extreme loyalty shown to Bryce by his teammates to be not well supported by the script. Most of it seemed based on self-protection, which is understandable to a point, but I think some of those guys would have bailed on him pretty quick irl.. Monty’s loyalty is explained late in S2, but mostly to dramatize Bryce’s pathologically manipulative behavior. ~ S2 was so over the top that I fully expected it to end with Tyler committing mass murder. Him surrendering the gun actually seemed ludicrous at that point.

[@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked]

It kind of was. Realistically, it wouldn't happen.

[@nykerianash1590]

Reflex yeah, I also what have told the adults because if he couldn’t talk Tyler down a lot of people who died and it would have been partially his fault.

[@CatoftheStorm]

After the outbreaks of shootings in schools, I don't think any show will even present that to the viewers, whether "realistic" or not. The producers would get bashed even more.

[@thatgirlreacts5465]

LOVE OF PLANTS 🌻 no fucking way would parents settle in real life. Not unless they were just looking for money, which was not the case of Hannah's parents, or her mom more so. She was looking to hold the school accountable. A settlement does not provide that.

[@22zay65]

Yeah, I was kind of actually upset that Tyler didn’t follow through with the mass shooting. The show made all the characters look so absurdly aggressive that I actually was aggravated he didn’t at least kill Monty. Not to mention someone sending warnings, gearing up, and loading a car full of ammunition seemed like someone who was too far gone to let someone just talk him down.

[@MrAlbinoGhost]

THANK YOU. The part about how they are criticizing Tyler's voyeurism and the male gaze just made me roll me eyes so hard when they sexualize these teenaged characters only minutes later.

Very much agree about the tone-deaf argument. This is especially true in the last episode, where, after the scene where Tyler has been assaulted in the most graphic and graphic and horrific way, they cut straight to a "you didn't think I'd let you go" cutesy love scene between Tony and his boyfriend. How could they possibly think that was a good decision?

[@Xehanort10]

[@ididgt4259]

Something dawned on me while editing. Hannah talks about yawning at pretentious people who like 2001: a Space Odyssey, a not necessarily exciting film with that has dense text. This makes her seem like a #relatable, edgy teen, but it's actually a character inconsistency when you consider her interest in poetry, another art form also considered pretentious

[@lunasperidot8760]

To be honest, it's pretty consistent for her. Hannah's always been a big hypocrite who doesn't take pretty much anyone else's feelings into account. Shes abrasive. The kind of person to be into clean bandit, but hate on other people for liking clean bandit and calling them hipsters.

Then they explicitly show Diane going through depression, ditching her meds because she thinks it'll be better for her "process" then show that that's a bad decision and that her meds were helping and preventing her from feeling as shit as she had for 5 seasons beforehand.

I met Taylor J Williams at a convention today!!! I was so smitten, and I'm happy to say he is as charming and polite as he seems on his channel 💙 Thank you for creating such a good memory for me ! 👌 - Alex, biggest fan

[@muhammadfaizalardi408]

am i the only one who's confused about how the school team once played basketball in season 1 and now they play baseball in season 2?

[@RissasOcean]

Muhammad Faar 2 different seasons of sports

[@jenniferferguson1517]

Muhammad Faar a lot of people play more than one sport in school

[@iamchris6033]

Yes yes you are

[@VioletEmerald]

You are totally right about Tyler's arc and honestly I'm laughing here at the way you sum up the chain of events...

Hey, I took film classes with you years ago!

15:53 13 reasons why in a nutshell

[@blackham7]

Vítor Medeiros lmao what's the original video called ?

[@AM-lc3lm]

They put pop music so they can promote artist and songs ,Selena put her music in the other season too

[@atribecalledlen3567]

facts lmao she ain't slick

[@lizrose1679]

After watching the first season of 13 reason why it made me realize how easy it is to kill myself. And all my friends and classmates agreed that after watching it it made us strangely suicidal

[@asuspiciousavocado3317]

Are you serious? My classmates spend time hating bad characters.

[@lizrose1679]

yeah we hated the characters too, but i think it was the graphic content that really made people depressed. This girl in one of my classes was so traumatized by it she spent 2 week in the guidance office. The only awareness this show brought us is how aware we've become on how easy it is to kill ourselves when life get difficult.

[@thebilliespace]

You might think it's easy, but you'd find out sooner or later it's actually not. Survival instinct can be a biiiiiiitch.

[@doraaaa0613]

oh yeah weird, that's exactly what my friend said. she had called me a bit after finishing s1 and i noticed that her mood was really down so i asked her why and she said that 13 reasons why was really graphic in its portrayal of suicide and rape. she said it put her in a really bad mood.

[@digital_pyth0n]

yeah I felt like hella shitty for like a week after finished s1. Definitely did not have a positive effect on my mental health

[@birdword111]

Worst line of the show: Alex (looking at photo of himself in a coma): Why did I do this to myself? Tyler: You didn't do it to you....THE SCHOOL DID IT TO YOU. NO. Stop. While those kids need to learn that their actions have consequences and I would never point at Alex and scream "It's your fault so I shouldn't feel bad for you!" (in fact, why does it have to be a matter of fault? Why can't it just be a thing that happened because he was in a bad place?), the school itself did not do it to him. They have a lot to atone for, definitely, but that's not the same. We can say their actions may have contributed to this bad place he was in, but that's the extent of that. Mental illness is a complex thing with a "perfect storm" of factors that cause it at once, not just one thing.

[@Xehanort10]

Self pity oozes through all the characters on the show.

[@mightybfool]

I’m sure they just took the best Wattpad 13 reasons why fanfic that they could find, and made it into a script.

[@Rocketsnail1000]

One thing I didn't understand was in the last episode where Jessica and those other women were in court talking about experiencing sexual assualt. Like, this all seemed to be during Bryce's trial, which didn't make sense. How do any of those stories, besides Jessica's, have any bearing on the case? They all seemed so contrived too, like all of a sudden every female character in the show experienced sexual assault. It was just so out of place and appeared out of nowhere. As far as I could tell, the message of this scene was "If you're a girl, you *will* be sexually assaulted at some point."

[@KookiesNolly]

hey remember #Metoo? Woke gotta woke

[@rhi1989]

The vast majority of women will be sexually harrassed or assaulted at some point in their lives, dude.

[@KookiesNolly]

Insufferable Know-It-All evidence ?

[@Rocketsnail1000]

Insufferable Know-It-All Well that's just not true at all, and that's a very damaging thing to make anybody believe

[@FrauStormm]

Rocketsnail1000 it is actually pretty damn true. All my female friends have been sexually harassed or assaulted at some point, as have I. Regardless, that scene was just kind of random and clunky. Came out of nowhere and left me hella confused for a minute.

[@nonewmsgs]

Court 101 for movie fans: The arguments that are going to be discussed are done in pretrial motions and both sides are aware of those and all evidence and witnesses before court ever starts Lawyers remain calm and usually calmly asks questions seated. They are not to go past their tables and if they do so without permission they will be tackled by the bailiff. Getting close to the witness never happens and would seem aggressive. Witnesses do not confess due to being asked tough questions

[@Qazwdx394]

hey this is random but your skin is hella smooth and soft looking

[@probablyalive.2665]

The fact that people defend this show and act as if it actually has anything to say makes me feel so sorry for them. Like how out of touch of reality can they possibly be?

[@Rieky22]

Facts I don’t understand

[@Artstronaut]

I think actors were tired because they felt 2nd season wasn't necessary but they already signed the contract 😂😂😂😂

[@gisellelikesrice]

That broom scene was mentally scarring

[@mhdraculaurabite]

it took me 5 minutes to slow down the video to 0.25 speed and read what was on 25:45

[@VioletEmerald]

I was able to pause it on the text on my first try!! XD Yay being on a computer... and being lucky this time lol. 26:56 too.

[@dszk1990]

For posterity: the < and > keys rewind/forward the video frame by frame.

John Caral because it’s so blunt

[@Xtremedude720]

13 reasons why happened to come during a time when i was a bit fucked up and the graphic/unrealistic depictions of suicide and its impact really stayed in my mind for a long time. It felt like it was encouraging me to do it with how it depicted suicide as a good revenge method which is an incredibly unhealthy thought. I think it could've been a fine show if they would've changed suicide from a revenge to a massive burden on everyone else.

[@daneone5576]

And there's going to be a season three God is truly dead

[@madmanwebster94]

Lost Goth God never existed so that's the reason why we're getting season 3

[@lunasperidot8760]

"God's not dead he's surely alive."

[@jakedebruin2246]

[@Morally_Immoral2]

Luna's Peridot why the hell would you reference that movie

[@unamed2516]

Lost Goth I wasn’t to happy about season 2 but they’re really thinking of a number 3? They should’ve just ended at season 2 because of Hannah’s trial and getting justice.

[@13LostandFound]

That middle school psa clip was scarily similar

[@iremxvxx]

the it’s always sunny type transitions inbetween segments 👏👏

[@thatawesomegirl650]

It’s so cool to see how much your channel has grown and improved since your last 13 reasons why video! You’ve really come into your own now. I can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@llovecatsandag]

I couldn’t finish the second season. I like the actors, but I don’t like the show. It’s just way too graphic for me. Some parts aren’t realistic.

[@wonder_9315]

gaby most parts aren’t realistic. The dialogue is insufferable, the suicide aspect is horribly romanticized. No teenagers talk like this. Bullying is rarely, if ever this bad (at least what I’ve seen). Yes, the acting is good, the production is good, but that’s about it.

[@louisromero2320]

Theres fucking kids being raped with brooms, school shooting, rape, drug addicts, suicides, kids dyig in car accidents, tons of fights, kids with guns. Wtf. And this is apparently all happening to kids in same grade in the same school. Just one of these events would be incredibly rare in a school, but according to this show this sort of major shit happens every week.

[@markuse3472]

Give me the name of a TV show or movie you have found totally "realistic", and then I will humble you and your opinion with intellect.

[@llovecatsandag]

Markus E that wasn’t totally my point. I meant to say that not all of these things could happen at one school and to the same group of people.

[@juliannatoth9561]

It's just so boring, couldn't do it.

pls notice me im ur biggest fan

"youre an actual nerd arent you" being played over billie eilish really really is just the epitome of 13 reasons why

[@Djoodibooti]

How do you both look 14 and 37?! I need answers.

[@skatewitch3s]

In season 4 the last episode, towards the end he actually repeats almost exactly what you say 😳 “ just to be clear i don’t actually see dead people i just imagine what they’d say” something like that, crazyy

[@gregjayonnaise8314]

Why on earth is every character so damn hostile? Even the teachers and parents act so aggressively. Even if going through trauma is difficult, isn’t there any instance where characters just feel too tired to get angry? Everyone is so angsts and dramatic.

[@eemakagoma6410]

This didn't only hit the head on the nail, but also drove it into the ground. Absolutely incredible! 👏 I would also be really interested if you did a review of "Ladybird". It would be especially insightful from a male perspective. Kudos on your channel, I thoroughly look forward to your content.

[@VioletEmerald]

I just heard a criticism of Ladybird today and now I'm tempted to see what sounds like a kinda bad movie... I'd love his perspective on it as well!

[@eemakagoma6410]

luvtheheaven5 Personally I adore "Ladybird" because I find it relatable, but I can understand why someone could dislike it because it heavily relies on tropes. That being said I feel alot of teens try to ascribe to cliches as they find themselves. So while nothing special happens I feel the honesty of the portrayal is what makes "Ladybird" special. I feel it's the female renaissance of "Boyhood".

[@VioletEmerald]

:)

[@joselocalau123]

honestly i was expecting that after all the negative reviews about S2 they would cancel it, but hEy, guEss whAt, there's a third season coming! Yay...

[@ShadesofViolet8]

OMG I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUR UPLOAD! I desprately wanted to see you critiquing season two I just couldn't reach you! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@user-ld6yj9er3c]

You are growing as a blogger like A LOT! You are way more confident in front of camera and the video itself was quite fun, on the opposite of the more serious approach you used before. Your channel deserves more attention, keep up the good work!

[@jenneacoleman-cubero2365]

The whole series is like the Altamont concert. A well-intentioned matter set to spread an important message, only to fail so dangerously hard when it could've been avoided. Meanwhile, what did all the sex, drugs and rock & roll have to do with the court case?

[@alextromagnetic]

Justin's arc was awful. I get the point it was trying to make that demons are hard to kick but it never gave us the feel that he had moved on, so when he regressed back into his addiction, it had no impact

[@pm0913]

This is good! I like how it was more relaxed in sounding less like an essay and more like a well thought out opinion. Good work!

[@Seldarius]

Someone’s gotta explain to Netflix that it is ok to end a series after one season if the story is told. You don’t need to continue it until it dies a slow death (and then add another season for good measure). Bringing shows to their natural conclusion might even make room for shows that need more than one season to tell its story to not be cancelled on a cliffhanger.

[@deathbychocolatecake9633]

I’ve been waiting for this since last May

[@gabrieleelizabeth6521]

You explained all of my anger towards this show so thoroughly FINALLY someone understands the problem with 13RW

I didnt see season 2 but i can assume i would not have even been slightly amused as I was by your commentary in this video. You are hilarious! Love it and looking forward to seeing your other videos

[@kh3317]

The analysis of Tyler's Arc killed me. I think the entertainment value of your videos have increased radically recently. Keep it up.

[@pumpkins922]

you saying "absurd" is the cutest thing ever

[@petalynch2312]

I have nothing useful to say you're really attractive and you sound smart. I don't know if you're really smart I'm too dumb to accurately judge that.
