The second season of 13 Reasons Why may not have had much of a reason to exist - the show had already used up all of the source material - but that wasn't going to stop it from being a massive hit for Netflix.

The first season may have drawn a lot of controversy for its handling of heavy topics such as suicide and sexual assault, but it also made for extremely bingeable watching that tapped into a key audience: teenagers. Netflix knew that everyone who binged their way through the first run would be back again, and given the show break social media records, it was always going to be a lot of people.

Once again the series garnered a lot of controversy, but that wasn't going to stop its core demographic from tearing through all 13 episodes in order to be a part of the massive conversation around the show. Other shows might have better storytelling and character development, but they obviously can't compete with memes.
