  1. i've finished the office these days, is very nice
  5. I finished watching season 2 of 13 reasons why last night and without giving away spoilers there was a scene in the final episode that I found traumatic to watch. I’m pretty good with violence etc and I think it was the writer that explained that they want to show this to encourage people to talk about such incidents that happen for real and for us not to pretend it doesn’t happen but it’s the first time in a long time I’ve been so disturbed by television. Did anyone else experience a similar feeling while watching it and was it right to have scenes like that?

    Just starting the final episode...

    Edit: No I wasn’t. That was the penultimate.
  7. Yes!!

  8. I'm on episode 10 and although the story is good and the issues are very relevant, the series is full of cinematic clichés that I wish they get rid of. How many scenes where everything was imagination, or the kid returns home late, covered in blood, says to his parents "it was nothing", and the parents are like "ok champ". Are you kidding me?

    I've watched season 1 but yet to start season 2. I think I know the scene that you're on about due to twitter. People credit the show for highlighting teen issues such as depression and suicide etc, but then also slam the show for going too far? This I don't understand, surely its actually better showing the events of said scene, to really drum in the message that this is wrong, and making you really unconformable whilst watching it so you definitely won't do it. Rather than lets say, suggesting in dialogue in a scene "Person A was ____". Would that really have the same effect and message?

    But once again, I'm yet to actually watch the scene, just seen the meltdown of it on Twitter, so my views could change when I watch Season 2. Who knows.

    Episode 10 of which season?

    There are some bits which I do find a bit stupid too but I think it's a good show.

    It’s a tricky one for me, I’m certainly not saying outright the scene shouldn’t be allowed but I just personally found it very very disturbing. Maybe it’s just me, I can watch someone getting shot in a movie or stabbed and not feel the way I did watching said scene. I also wonder if a tv show really is the way to highlight these issues, but then it maybe is getting across the message more effectively as you mentioned. I really don’t know, I just know how I felt, I think my fiancée felt the same way, I still find it hard to get it out my head if I’m honest.
