netflix pushes its content in your face constantly, so sometimes you can’t help but click. this show is one of the better ones, but i say that hesitantly— i don’t want anyone over there to get ahead of themselves and say “let’s 13 reasons why this and stretch it to a few more unnecessary seasons”. quit while you’re ahead. good casting as far as the quality of acting, though not as diverse as it could be; diversity meter 77%. i think the best thing about this was the separation of the stories: you have this whole— guy kidnapped, and a video goes viral saying he’ll be killed if so and so— then you have a new character as the focus of each episode in their relation to that story.
the divvying up is pretty unique, and i think that’s what allows the show to be so captivating: this is a story that we’ve all heard before (many times), but it was scripted in a new way.

anyway, netflix usually has flops or, good things that they somehow manage to ruin (13 reasons why should have stuck with one season; they ruined you; lifetime did it better; etc.) but this isn’t one. love the score. again, we could use a n
