It was a hot chocolate friendship.

In the novel, Asher wrote that Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) lived and failed on the suicide attempt. Since the producers have chosen another path, Asher could not, in any way, continue on the characters he brought to live. But, even Asher wanted it that way. He said that he wanted to see how Netflix would be able to grow the characters on TV.

In Asher’s version, Hannah Baker would be able to go back to school and deal with the bullies she had. But, that’s not the case in the series. Hannah died and Alex Standall has attempted his own suicide. Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) spoke with his childhood pal again and they went on to a road trip with Tony, trying to leave all the bad behind.
The story ended with the tragedy of Hannah. She even had this popular line where she says this is her final hurrah and that she does not want any more requests.
The main reason why the show was created in the first place was to tell a story—to teach every one of us that depression and suicide happens to the people who are near us. It is not some random selection and it is something that we should all be working towards to.
Closing the show with that final scene felt like the lesson was finished and it is now up to all of us to fix the problem in the real world. It is now time to stop binging on Netflix and call up a couple of people whom we may think have these kinds of tendencies.

These may be interesting plots to follow through, but if they move forward with Season 2, which they are, they will defy the main purpose of creating the series in the first place.
Everything was better before.

However, what we are forgetting is the fact that great stories should have great endings as well. That is what they have achieved with Season 1. I hope they just leave it at that and let us dwell on the lesson who is Hannah Baker.
Hello, boys and girls. Hannah Baker here. Live and in stereo. No return engagements. No encore. And this time, absolutely no requests.
