The first season of 13 Reasons Why was released in March 2017 and quickly gained the title of the most tweeted-about show of the year. Based on Jay Asher’s novel, the show told the story of Hannah Baker, a high schooler who dies by suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes to explain her decision. Although the show sparked controversy due to its depiction of suicide and sexual assault, it was also heralded by critics — EW’s Leah Greenblatt said “it’s hard not to be impressed” by the series in her B+ review.
