At the end of March, Netflix premiered a new series titled “13 Reasons Why” which was inspired by a novel with the same name written by Jay Asher in 2007. Since its release the series has gotten a lot of controversy due to its harsh topics.
“13 Reasons Why” is about a high schooler named Hannah Baker who

committed suicide by cutting her wrists and bleeding to death in her bathtub. She didn’t leave behind a note, instead she left behind 13 cassette tapes explaining why she killed herself. Each tape is dedicated to a person that had some sort of involvement in her reason for committing suicide, and she wants each person mentioned on a tape to listen to them all and then give them to the next person mentioned. The series focuses on when Clay Jenson, a crush of Hannah’s, receives the tapes. He is one of the last people mentioned on the tapes, so most of the others mentioned on the tapes have already listened to them and want to prevent Clay from finishing them, out of fear that he will expose them all – for the sake of his lost love.
The show goes back and forth between flashbacks of when Hannah was alive to Clay trying to put the pieces together about her death while listening to the tapes. Scenes referring to when Hannah was alive are shown with a golden tint, and scenes from after her death have a blue tint to them, to help viewers follow along. There are 13 episodes, to go along with the 13 tapes she made. Each episode revolves around a tape and the person who the tape is about.
