y’all can hate on the show all you want, but it’s your fault for taking it so seriously. take it for what it is, a guilty pleasure trash drama. it’s so enjoyable as that. this season was so entertaining i can’t even begin to explain. everything is so outlandish and wonderful. i’ve never had more fun watching something in my life. 10000000/10
Arguably better than the past two seasons, but nowhere near the standard set by the first season. The final season is still plagued by inconsistent pacing, unsubstantial writing, poor execution of themes and topics, and improper treatment of its characters. Despite this, the strength of the show lies in its cast, particularly Dylan Minnette as Clay, who continues to anchor and hold this show together whenever it threatens to fall apart with a series-best, if not career-best performance. Minnette channels all required and expected emotions from someone going through mental deterioration and severe anxiety rooted from traumatic experiences and lots of secrets buried deep. Among the supporting cast, Brandon Flynn as Justin, Miles Heizer as Alex and Gary Sinise as Clay's therapist Dr. Ellman also give outstanding performances in this season. The way the story finds closure is also satisfying, and a more linear structure in the storytelling makes it slightly easier to understand as compared to Season 3. The conversations between Clay and Dr. Ellman, the relationship of Alex with both Winston and Charlie, the continuing struggle of Justin, the development of Ani from the previous season through her friendship with Jess, the fun and elegant prom scenes are among the highlights of this season. Setting aside its flaws and shortcomings in terms of plot development, genre shifts from teen drama to murder mystery to psychological thriller, and its lackluster treatment of sensitive subject matters such as sexual violence, police violence, racism and drug abuse, the show still presented a handful of timeless and relevant lessons for today's youth on forgiveness, love, letting go and moving on from past pains and mistakes. STILL RECOMMEND THIS SHOW.
13 Reasons Why has become nothing more than an absurdly melodramatic, borderline infuriating soap opera that simply does not understand the youth it is attempting to reach.
