13 Reasons Why Season 4 Trailer Review: 4 Ups & 4 Downs

3. Not Enough Focus On Alex

Yes, the trailer for 13 Reasons Why's fourth season is just that - a trailer - but, after watching it, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Clay Jensen, Tony Padilla or Tyler Down killed Bryce Walker. Sure, the story won't be about the murder itself but moreso the framing of the deceased Monty, but it would have been nice to see a little bit more of Alex Standall's reaction to all of this - given that he was the one that the cover-up protected.

If you read this writer's review last year, you might think he sounds like a bit of a broken record here, but Alex is one of the show's most layered characters - and Season 3 finally began showcasing that - so it would be a shame if he regressed to a supporting/background role here.

A little more focus on him in the final season would be nice.
