13 Reasons Why season 2 doesn't just live up to its predecessor - it is much better than it. It's also much, much darker.May 17, 2018
By the time things actually start to happen in this bloated sequel, it's almost too late to care.May 17, 2018
For better or worse, 13 Reasons Why is a show that wants to tackle teen trauma, but it keeps choosing to do so in a way that courts controversy, almost shamelessly.May 17, 2018
Season 2 is a worthy attempt at a do-over, if a flawed one.May 17, 2018
These moments come closest to making Season 2 seem like a necessary companion to the first. But at the same time, several last-minute developments come out of nowhere to ensure the season ends on a muddled, unsatisfying note.May 16, 2018
The streaming service can be forgiven for wanting to sustain a popular franchise, but what made this series special has already been significantly diluted by piling more reasons upon "Reasons."May 16, 2018
Unfortunately, the season's execution is frequently dismal. And although I didn't feel that the first season engaged in sadness porn or exploitation, I can't say the same for the second. It wallows, especially in later episodes.May 16, 2018
Hannah's story was told last season -- imperfectly at times, stunningly at others. And each additional reason, each additional season, dilutes the impact of when we first heard it.May 16, 2018
13 Reasons Why features no shortage of missteps. But it's a show that so deeply feels for its characters, so deeply feels these scenarios, that it's hard to be mad at it.May 17, 2018
But there is something good to be said about "13 Reasons Why": It's the best advertisement for parents to get involved and to demand to watch shows together as a family.
