Season two will pick up in the aftermath of Hannah Baker’s death and the start of the characters’ complicated journeys toward healing and recovery.
As much as I liked the first season this really feels like a show better left alone. The gimmick (if I can call it that) of the narrative told by the ‘dead girl’ through cassettes, keeping tension between the effect of past in the present and the cause.
Having a conventional narrative style will automatically, in contrast, be a let down. Can’ t see this season being as effective. Heading into it very cautiously.
Is it really a “water cooler” hit? Really? The asskissery of Netflix is off the charts. People talk about Trump at the water cooler (or Alec Baldwin’s portrayal) . A tiny minority talk about how as women they can’ t watch the Handmaid’s Tale. Months back Stranger Things had water cooler buzz. 13 Reasons? Not so much.
Frontier is an utter turd and embarrassment by the way and Last Kingdom is Vikings on quaaludes as reimagined by the BBC. The El Chapo show is grade z garbage on a shoe string budget.
The Crown is amazing however.
Maybe not “water cooler” talk but the modern version, “social media buzz”. I think it was Netflix’s highest trending show or something like that on Twitter??
Pretty Little Liars amassed the same number of tweets in a month last year. So if there’s any correlation between tweets and viewership, Netflix has a Pretty Little Liars level hit.
