"13 reasons why" a fictional story that begins with a high school boy who receives a box with 13 tapes from a girl who killed herself. Each tape holds a reason of why she killed herself. The story of this Hollywood web series depicts the harsh reality of the bully culture in schools and the students who take extreme steps due to these issues.
The mystery thriller Hollywood web series aired the second season on 18 May 2018. The second season takes the story further, it shows that tapes were only the beginning there is more to the story than the tapes. Many parts of Hannah Bakers life are revealed when the trail of the suicide case begins, parts which Clay Jensen didn't know about and it might change his and the viewer's feelings for Hannah. The things discussed in season 2 makes you doubt if the tapes were completely true or not, or they were just the part of what Hannah wanted the people to see. There are a few new characters in this season whom you might like but they also have a few of there stories to share.
Suicide is devastating, and as Tony (Christian Navarro) himself says "you never really know what's going to hit how", so there is absolutely no 'too big' or 'too small' when it comes to things that affect people… but your heart still bled for the high-schoolers whose interactions with Hannah involved a misunderstanding or conflict that most of us will recognise from those tumultuous teenage years.
While some of the characters deserved to be held to account for their unforgivable actions, others hurt Hannah accidentally in the course of navigating their own personal problems and did not deserve to be led on a guilt-fuelled goose chase that would haunt them into their later years. You only had to see the state of Clay (Dylan Minnette), our ultimately well-meaning protagonist, to understand the effect of such blame. And that's saying nothing of Alex (Miles Heizer), who is driven to the same tragic act in the wake of Hannah's taped suicide note.
It's tricky. On the one hand, season one played out as a lesson in being kind and, on the other, it functioned as a warning that every small mistake in your school years can and will affect you forever. Was it a toxic message? Quite possibly.
So the tapes have now been heard. They were a tragic picture of a girl who never had the chance to grow past the high-school issues that many of us were able to see grow smaller and smaller in retrospect. (Of course, the sexual assault she experienced is not included in the category of a high-school issue that fades in the rear-view mirror.) She never got to see the big picture, though; that it's never too late to extract yourself from a damaging environment and start a different life.

I think 13 reasons why can be best compared to the Hollywood TV series Big Little Lies because both share a common issue of assault on women. They both show that there are some issues that are taken for granted, people do these and don't even realise that they just harassed a woman like an issue of domestic violence in Big Little Lies.

Season two rehashes past events, shoe-horning in new findings around the edges of the pre-existing timeline. Hannah is also now a ghost who talks to Clay, and the absence of her voiceover makes this season feel directionless at times.
But perhaps we should be more concerned about the utter bleakness on display. Unrelenting depression seems to shroud the season, briefly lifted only to collapse back down as the show's thirteenth episode, once again, delivers a deeply disturbing scene of suffering.
The show is very careful to stress that there are resources available on their website should you need help. If only they considered just a tiny glimpse of a brighter future for any of the characters to save the show from its utter hopelessness.
