Weekly New Digital Media - 26.04.17 (66)

’13 Reasons Why’ has been named 2017’s biggest show on Twitter


             13 Reasons Why


13 reasons why tells the story of a teenage girl who reveals the reasons she committed suicide through a series of tapes sent to members of her peer group.  This show has got a lot of criticism, last week, an Australian mental health charity warned that 13 Reasons Why contains “dangerous content”. Actress Shannon Purser – Barb from Stranger Things– has said she thinks the show isn’t suitable for some more vulnerable viewers. However, this new Netflix original has gotten in the interest of the audience as so many people have spoken about it but also binge-watched it. 

[] 13 Reasons Why has more than 11 million tweets – more than any other show in 2017

Everyone is talking about the new show that has Netflix has produced. The show that addressed mental health and issues surrounding suicide, it helps raise awareness. Personally for me I understand the issues that 13 reasons why show and why they are adderessing the issue but for me personally, i think they have went the wrong way with it, as it can see that Hannah "takes the easy way out" as she doesnt really talk to no one about the issues she's facing when she had a lot of people to do that with but instead it can be seen she wasnt taking suicide as a serious matter. A lot of memes have also been created from 13 reasons why and a lot of people are creating jokes out of it and missing the point of the main message.
