13 Reasons Why: Season 2 (2018)Developed by Brian YorkeyI recently finished watching Season 2 of "13 Reasons Why" on Netflix. The first season that aired last year got critical acclaim. It was an engaging and well acted high school drama, which looked into the circumstances that led to the suicide of Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford). Hannah left behind a set of audio tapes, each of which dealt with how one character influenced her decision to take her life.I liked the first season, and while some of the reasons presented didn't seem severe enough to me, for someone to commit suicide, taken purely as a form of entertainment / storytelling, I thought it was well done.In the second season, the framing device is this – Hannah's parents have filed a case against Liberty High, blaming the school's negligence as the cause of Hannah's death. Each episode shows the testimony of one of the characters in court. For those who liked the first season, I think this is worth watching. However, taken on its own merits, I don't think it's as good as the first Season. I have mixed feelings about Season 2. I thought the season didn't need 13 episodes, I felt it kind of dragged in the first half, and some of the characters and subplots (Clay's girlfriend Skye for example) were unnecessary, or went on for longer than they needed to (Justin's arc). However it did pick up as it went on. One thing that can't be faulted is the acting, once again, the young cast all give very good performances. This season at some points I think was a bit darker than the first. There is certainly more content in this season that is for mature audiences only.Overall I liked it and I think it's definitely worth watching.I drew Justin Prentice as Bryce Walker from the show. I thought he really played his character well, and brought the right mix of charm and creepiness to the role as the antagonist.The drawing was done with my 0.5mm 2B pencil and scanned.
