The show started well, but devolved into what I consider a woke political agenda. The first season was okay. The second season proved to be better. However, by the third season, signs of overt propaganda began to appear. The fourth season was the worst yet—a blatant display of LGBT advocacy. In the first season, my conclusion about Hannah Baker (the girl who committed suicide) was that she acted like a drama queen and made numerous errors in judgment. Instead of addressing her problems, she chose to end her life and blame others. She seemed quite foolish. Bullying is an unfortunate reality for many; I experienced it myself as a child, and I’m sure many others have too. However, it's not justification for suicide. One should move forward and focus on the future and education rather than dwelling on immature teenagers. Throughout the first season, I observed only two instances of serious crime: rape and sexual harassment. Hannah witnessed a classmate being raped by another student and was herself subjected to repeated sexual harassment by multiple individuals. Instead of reporting these incidents to her parents or the police, she remained silent. Even more bafflingly, she attended the rapist’s house party while scantily dressed, which resulted in another assault. It's hard to believe someone would knowingly put themselves in that situation and then expect a different outcome. She didn't stop there; after the second rape, she continued to conceal what happened and acted as if nothing had occurred. When she eventually spoke with a school counselor, her responses were evasive when direct questions were posed. The counselor rightly pointed out that victims must speak up to receive help. Hannah predictably refused to cooperate and instead chose suicide, leaving behind audio cassettes blaming numerous individuals for her death—even those who acted kindly toward her. For instance, Ryan published her poem without permission because he believed it was beautiful, but she reacted negatively and included him in her list of offenders. Teenagers are imperfect; they make mistakes, which is normal. Overall, I believe Hannah was a deeply sensitive individual prone to self-destruction, and such vulnerabilities often go hand-in-hand with poor judgment. Had this school not existed, something else would likely have triggered her suicide—a harsh comment from a coworker, or some other event. The bottom line is that life isn't perfect, teenagers aren’t perfect, and while children can be unkind, it’s important to move on. Serious crimes like rape should be reported to the police immediately. Those are actions Hannah failed to take. Ultimately, she was a foolish girl who made many mistakes. The second season was an improvement. There's not much more I can say about it; it simply held my interest better. By the third season, however, propaganda began to surface. Jessica’s character transformed into an extreme feminist and the narrative became slow-paced. A new main character, Ani—an African girl—was introduced as a narrator. Her character is shallow, boring, and unlikeable; everything about her is irritating, from her voice to her personality and even her lies. She felt completely out of place in the show, like an afterthought inserted solely because of her accent. It’s jarring and makes me want to turn it off. The ending was also disappointing—Alex killed Bryce, Jessica remained a cold feminist, and this African girl helped cover up their actions while blaming Monty. The fourth season was truly awful: pure LGBT propaganda! I counted twelve characters who turned out to be gay, which feels excessive and unrealistic. This season is clearly driven by a political agenda; liberal activists are pushing it hard, even portraying two male couples as prom king and queen—a scene met with applause from their parents. Jessica’s feminist character remains unpleasant. It felt like the show was written by an American LGBT teenager with strong leftist views. The story itself isn't terrible, but this woke propaganda ruins it. I give it a 3/10. Fortunately, we didn’t have to endure that annoying girl with the British accent narrating the story. It’s sad to see how U.S. entertainment has declined. In the past, American shows and movies were among the best in the world—think of the quality from the 90s and early 2000s. Now, it seems all they produce is politically charged propaganda of poor quality. This country has become a vehicle for political messaging, sacrificing entertainment value in the process.
