I just finished. What the hell, was Tyler stockpiling guns and bombs?

Oh come on! It's humor. When my husband does something to aggravate me I pickup an air microphone and say "honey, welcome to your tape."

He says it to the kids, though. Not cool. I personally think that (and I don't usually have such a strong opinion on pop culture references, at all, I actually enjoy them) - this series did happen to glamorize what happened, or suicide. In the book, it was pills. In the movie, it was graphic. But the whole time, I was thinking that Hannah should have had better cling skills, and made better decisions, even for her age.

I guess we parent differently.

+1

Agree completely.

most of these issues are ordinary

I know I am late to the party but I just binged it and am unsure about how I feel about it. I do know that I kept falling asleep during parts so I might have missed vital information.

Here is what I don;t get: Why would Hannah walk into a party at Bryce's house and get in the hot tub with those kids? At this point she knew what Bryce did to Jessica. I cannot believe she would go to his house much less strip and get into the hot tub - and then stay in the hot tub once she was alone.

Also, Tyler, the photographer, had a gun and what looked like pipe bombs in his trunk...

And Justin tucked a gun in his back when he left home.

Was this series renewed?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they going to make a sequel? Can they really stretch another season out following up on Hannah's death? [/quote]

[b]***SPOILER***

In the last episode, the principal comes in and tells Mr. Porter, the counselor, that Alex was found dead from an apparent suicide. I'm sure they'll build on that.[/b]

I agree with a PP who mentioned that Hannah really didn't appear emotionally battered enough (still sticking up for principles, etc...) to actually commit suicide. Whether we had social media or not, girls were still labeled "sluts" or "easy" back in the 90's and none of them killed themselves. In a school that big (at least it appeared to have many students), a girl like Hannah would get left behind by the popular kids and she'd eventually be friends with artsy kids with other interests. All those students there and she's obsessed with the jocks? She came off as smarter than that.[/quote]


Just to clarify--not dead, in critical condition.

For people saying "I can't believe this how school is today," how quickly do you all forget?? School was like this 10-20-30 years ago, probably since the beginning of time. Minus the social media technology. There were the bullies, and the people who thought they were being bullied and became bullies themselves, the liars, the manipulators, all of it. This show did a good job showing what being a teenager is like. The lesson in it all is that suicide should never be the way you deal with it and we all should be more empathetic towards each other, even as teenagers.

I'm this PP - I'm editing to add that nobody I knew killed herself over such things. Of course there was teenage suicide.
