#13 REASONS WHY SEASON 2 CONTROVERSY SERIES#

As with all things with the show, our hope was that we could honestly represent the experience that our viewers might, through the experience, learn more and start more conversations about those issues in their own world. So we were able to study a great deal of the history there, and we tried to be authentic and honest and also accurate in our portrayal of the character. Unfortunately, there's a great deal of literature about a great number of troubled young men who resorted to or almost resorted to violence to act through their feelings. For our part, we did as much research as we could. I think each viewer will have their own opinion about whether we found that balance, so I will leave that evaluation up to each individual viewer. He's ultimately sent away after displaying violent and unstable tendencies due to his extreme isolation. With the exception of Clay and Alex, all the kids from Hannah's tapes continue to ignore the photographer.

As he's bullied by basically the entire school, we long for Tyler to have a safe space and some friends. Rather than an angsty and irredeemable villain, Tyler was seen in a much more empathetic light in 13 Reasons Why's sophomore season. The thing that's interesting for us is the journey and trying to understand what goes into the experience of a young man who goes that route.Д«rian Yorkey does make a pretty solid point here. We're much more interested in understanding that character's journey than we are in seeing it end in the worst way possible. I think you'll see in the balance of the episodes that it's very much about trying to understand Tyler's character and how a troubled young man might be driven to consider this very difficult choice. With Season 2.we're very interested in continuing to follow his journey and to try to understand his state of mind and the state of his soul. We had a character who was obviously severely bullied, suffering from social isolation and was thinking of making a very tragic choice in addressing those feelings for himself.

Series creator Brian Yorkey recently addressed these concerns about Tyler's almost deadly mistake, saying:

The Season 2 finale uses a potential school shooting as a framing deice, which has been met with umbrage from advocates and Netflix subscribers. Season 2 has some really strong moments, although the series will no doubt continue to be controversial. The melodramatic drama focuses on bullying within Liberty High School, and how it lead to Hannah Baker's suicide. Perhaps no Netflix show is quite as controversial as 13 Reasons Why, based off the young adult novel of the same name.

Selena also said she went to the writers' room the other day and 'was freaking out on where they're going ,' because it's 'actually really encouraging and empowering.' Hopefully that means they've taken the conversation swirling around the show to heart.Over the past few years, Netflix has quickly become a hub for new groundbreaking original content. 'But I think with the season 2 we're going to actually answer a lot of those questions and a lot of resolution with the characters is going to come.' 'All the questions that came up and all the talk about it was all valid and I understand it,' she said. She also told Elvis that the second season would answer a lot of questions surrounding both the criticism and character resolutions.

'But it is happening and hopefully it opened the door for people to actually accept what's happening and actually go and change it, talk about it.' вЂњI think that stuff is uncomfortable for people to talk about,' she told the interviewers. Selena also spoke about 13 Reasons Why and its impact on the overall conversation about the issues that affect teenagers today, reinforcing her opinion that the show has helped spark discussions in schools, online, between friends, and between parents, their children, and mental health professionals.
