13 Reasons Why: Tape 1, Side A (2017)
Season 1, Episode 1
Its bane and boon is- its way too truthful to its adaptation.
17 September 2017
I read 'Thirteen Reasons Why' five months back and I really enjoyed it- the concept of our little deeds really influencing someone to suicide was mind-blowing. Then the TV show happened and with a lot of hype. So I finally decide to check this aware that I will not be disappointed and I wasn't.

13 Reasons Why makes a familiar but still pleasing pilot, much thanks to its talented cast that worked very well especially the two leads Dylan Minnette and Katherine Langford who deliver great performances especially the latter who gets into the skin of her character- that was the Hannah we wanted for 13 Reasons Why.

While the plot seems familiar since I am already acquainted with the book but impressively the makers and writers do add their own perspectives to make the story more relatable to its current audience- the dialogues that have Google maps in their context that wasn't quite a thing back in 2007 was really witty.

Overall liked it- the theme of the episode was well delivered.
