13 Reasons Why: 10 Overlooked Positives To The Show

10. Honestly, How Do You Tackle Such Issues?

First of all, Thirteen Reasons Why is a show that immediately gave itself a Herculean task due to the themes it tackles. Teen suicide, rape and the many other social issues the program touches on are Extremely hard to depict in the right way and the fact that it gets some stuff wrong is hardly surprising. That it gets anything right at all is impressive.

Therefore, given how much of a risky project the show was from the off, it deserves to be cut some slack. As well as this, many will disagree with the way in which Thirteen Reasons Why portrays these issues through a fairly melodramatic and unrealistic mystery drama format, but to be honest, we've got plenty of gritty, ultra-realistic things tackling these problems, so why do we need another one?

At least with Thirteen Reasons Why we get a different perspective on such things.
