13 reasons why is a story about a girl who commit suicide, she slit her wrist in the bath tub. Why? because she was raped, bullied, and couldn't fit in society. We all know that this world is a cruel world, everyone is acting cautious against anybody.
The girl who killed herself, named Hannah Baker, played by Katherine Langford. Before she decided to kill herself, she managed to taped her reasons, 13 tapes of them, and send it to her friend Tony, and ask him to distribute all of the tapes to all the persons she mentioned in the tapes.
By watching this, hopefully some people realized, cruel words, rude actions, bullying could really killed someone. Not everyone is strong enough to live with feeling of rejected by the society, it could lead to self destruction, and end up deleting he/she when they felt they're not enough.
Back to the series, during her high school, Hannah tries to made friends with everybody, and get close to a boy named Clay Jensen. Like any teenagers, Hannah and Clay were to shy to show their affection and attentions since they don't have the experiences with opposite sex. Besides Clay, like in any other schools, there are always these group of famous and rich people who likes to manipulate and bullying other kids. Most of these famous and rich kids were on Hannah's tapes. Some has wronged her, some created rumors about her and some just doesn't care.
Stuck in school, with no one to lean on or becoming friends too, made her life miserable. Not only that, her parents were also had financial issues, that led her feel that she has led her parents down. She felt like the world against her, and she has to carry the weight in her shoulder.
After Hannah's suicide, Clay receives the tapes and start listening to all of them. The only person that respond to Hannah's tapes are only Clay, by responding I mean, he literally check the truth and eventually get angry with it. He started takes revenges for Hannah, and tries to humiliates or hurt people that have wronged Hannah. Clay loves Hannah, but too shy to take it to the next level, and this is becoming his big regret.
The stories are quite original I think, the narration told well in every episode. You could feel how Hannah struggle in her daily lives. One of the best things that need to be said in this review is, all of the soundtracks is worth listening. I almost love all of them. One of my favorite is a song by Codeine with the titled Atmosphere, which is a cover from Joy Division. This song played when Clay talks heart to heart in a playground with Tony. Some of the lyrics goes like this :
Your illusion - my confusion
And in the mask of self-hate
Confronts itself and then dies
Don't walk away - in silence
People like you, have it easy
Face like the sun - walking on air
Haunted by your face, every street, every corner
Abandoned too soon
Don't walk away - in silence
I really recommend you to watch this, though its a teenagers movie kind of thingy, but it still relatable to all walks of life. We have dealt with these kinds of bullying in the old days, or we still being bullied until now, these will wake your sense of calls to how society does sucks. IMDB gave these series 8,3/10, I guess its a guarantee that you had to watch it.
Happy watching! You could watch it on netflix or on any other sources.
