thirteen reasons why is so bad it made me want to poop my pants. although the concept was interesting, i’ll admit, the writers didn’t follow through well at all with halfway decent writing. not only is it just generally an offensive and ignorant portrayal of “mental illness” (hannah baker clearly was not mentally ill, let’s be serious), but it was so incredibly cringy. it is so clear that the writers never came remotely close to a group of teenagers in at least 15 years. honestly, mean girls is a more accurate representation of how teens act. the actors also sucked. so. hard. so hard. so, due to my devotion to showing people how weird this show is, i’ve compiled a list of the top 5 cringiest moments within the 3 episodes i’ve watched, which was by far the most difficult task i have ever had to complete in the entirety of my life, as there were at least 5,000. but here we go! 5. the group of boys. i’m sorry but they were not only a horrific attempt at being relatable to anyone who unfortunately has to interact with teen boys on a daily basis, but they were all really ugly. i’m sorry but just ew. 4. CLAY 🤢🤢🤢🤢 “i just get… panic attacks, heh..” WOMP WOMP. his entire character was the epitome of cringe (besides hannah baker of course, but we’ll get to that later). he wishes he were charlie from perks of being a wallflower, which i recommend 1000000x more than i do this disgrace of a netflix original. 3. “fml forever… right?” i hesitated to put this in #1, but i was feeling generous. must i explain why my ears were bleeding during that episode? 2. the dialogue blegh. again, no teenagers act or talk like this. 1. hannah baker as a whole is just so icky dude. like she was also confusing too?? first of all, every episode she’ll get into a fight with clay and then she acts like nothing happens as soon as he sits down with her for lunch. she’s also really REALLY dumb. imagine committing suicide for the sole purpose of revenge?? and i hated her whole wannabe manic pixie dream girl trope mixed in with like “cool girl who eats chocolate bars with nuts in them woah” who also has anger issues. the writers tried so hard to make her seem different but she was so cliche. ALSO WHEN SHE ACCIDENTALLY SAID “i am” AND THEN SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF “oh, uh… can’t say that anymore, can i? heh.” I HATE HER LMAO in conclusion, if you liked this movie, i am going to assume you’re some sort of vent tiktok account who says “oh.” when they’re mad at somebody. i’ll give the show props for having a joy division song in it, though. however, the moral of the story is to watch perks of being a wallflower instead.
