Okay, I’m not really going to list out 13 Reasons Why we need this show but I do think the subject matter is something we need to see. The second season has a dealing with the ramifications of season one. The tapes are gone and in their place are photos of other victims who’s story we’ve yet to hear. Boy is there a lot to uncover…

Listen to 13 Reasons Why (Season 1)

A lot of the behavior in 13 Reasons Why is problematic but I think that’s why this show is very realistic. Majority of the season centers around the trial of Bryce. Each episode dives into our characters testimonies, as well as, how they’ve been coping post making Hannah’s tapes public.

We witness Clay once again take on the weight of the world and deal with exposing the truth behind the images. We get a glimpse into the short but sweet time Hannah and Zach spent together. Alex deals with the aftermath of his attempted suicide while Justin’s guilt drives him to drugs.

JESSICA’S TRUTH

The true hero this season is Jessica who finds the strength and pulls from her support system to tell her truth during the trial. It’s all an emotional ride as it all leads to Bryce walking free. Unfortunately this isn’t really different from how things work in the real world. I do want to emphasize that we should always support victims in telling their truth – period. Otherwise we continue to create a culture where people don’t come forward after being abused.

This all revs up to what we’ve been anticipating all season. Tyler shows up to Homecoming with plans to shoot up the school after a very vicious attack. Mind you, he’s been bullied for the last two seasons at this point. Clay and company are able to talk him out of it but we’re left to wonder how things are resolved until season 3.

Like I said, we need this show. Be sure to listen to the podcast for my complete thoughts on this season. What are some of the topics you want to bring awareness to from the show? Let me know in the comments.
