Not PP and pretty bleeding heart, but I also don't understand the idea of being triggered, safe spaces, etc. Facing difficult things from your past is how you work through them, not something to avoid at all costs. Same goes for people whose opinions differ from your own.

I did had to suspend disbelief that all these teenagers would have access to tapeplayers though. Unless they all borrowed Tony's Walkman...
This part cracked me up as well because I don't even know any families who still have a traditional stereo type radio. I mean, I get that having cassettes creates an actual tactile object to pass on that's more substantial than a CD, but still...

Just watched it this weekend with my 14 year old. It was good. We had a lot to talk about tonight.

Finally finished it last night and MAN! They went pretty brutal on some of those scenes in the later episodes. Much more so than on network TV.
I hope they continue it because I have so many questions I need answered.
I was hesitant to start it after reading this review in the WaPost: http://preview.tinyurl.com/m4korc2.
There are 13 episodes lasting 13 super-sullen hours — a passive-aggressive, implausibly meandering, poorly written and awkwardly acted effort that is mainly about miscommunication, delivering no more wisdom or insight about depression, bullying and suicide than one of those old “ABC Afterschool Specials” people now mock for being so corny.
I don't find that true at all. I can see why this book has popped up on so many teacher's reading lists. It's a good look at how our actions, as small or innocent as they may seem, cause a ripple effect and can really hurt others.
And I'm just going to echo the PP about Kate Walsh. Wow! She acted the part so well that I felt like she'd really lost a child. I've never been a huge fan of hers, as in must watch everything she's in, but she definitely didn't strike me as someone who could pull off that kind of performance.

So freaking tired of this word. 'Triggering' of what exactly?
To tell would definitely be a spoiler.
I've just finished episode 12. Still not feeling 'triggered'.
NP maybe it isn't FOR YOU but obviously it was for PP. I'm guessing you may have been someone who would have received a tape in this story....

I was just going to post about it! I binged watched it in 2 days while on vacation. I thought it was really good and I also heard the show is better than the book. The show changed a few things but stayed pretty true to the story.

I started watching on Friday and I really like the show so far. I'm up to episode 7, I think. It can be a little slow moving and I have the urge to fast forward, but know I can't so that I don't miss some little detail.
Friends who have read the book are actually liking the show better, which I don't think ever happens with me.
Kate Walsh has been amazing in it so far. She plays a devastated mother very well.
I finished it last night! I have mixed feelings. Some of the acting was REALLY great (Kate Walsh, for real!!), but the show felt at times insanely melodramatic in a Pretty Little Liars kind of way. Which makes sense, it's really meant for teenagers. It was interesting! I'll be curious to see where they take a 2nd season if it gets renewed.
