13 Reasons Why Season 3 Final Trailer Reactions: 4 Ups & 3 Downs

2. Everybody's A Suspect

In spite of the show's chequered past, it's hard to deny that they've put together a compelling premise for Season 3.

Bryce Walker was, without a doubt, one of the most despicable and odious excuses of a human being to ever appear on our TV screens and it was incredibly frustrating to see him constantly get away with his heinous actions - despite the fact that there was a stack of evidence mounting against him.

However, while you can criticise the fact that 13 Reasons Why has long outlived its concept, it's given the writers plenty of opportunity to have Bryce run wild - which he did. Thus, it's beginning to feel like they were planning this whodunit all along - even though they probably weren't. And that right there, has all the makings of a strong narrative.

During his two seasons of disgust, Bryce managed to piss off just about everyone on the show and that has presented viewers with a list full of suspects - all of whom have genuine reasons for exacting revenge on him. And the trailer highlights that to perfection.

Did Jessica want revenge for what he did to Hannah? Was Alex sick of him getting away with it? Or was Monty terrified that his so-called best friend didn't have his back anymore? Who knows? But the fact of the matter is that it could be anyone, and almost all of those possibilities feel like believable suspects.
