Goofs

In Episode 1 (and Tape 1, Side A) Hannah says that there are 13 sides to every story, and that this is the reason for making 13 tapes. However, at the time she recorded the first tape, she had only planned on making 12, which she reveals in Episode 12. She didn't intend to record a conversation with Mr. Porter until days later.

User Reviews

First 2 seasons acceptable 3 just a mess

I'll start by saying this is thoroughly enjoy the issues the show deals with and the way they handle them on and off the show. Season 1 talked about suicide in an awesome way surrounded by an amazing story, season 2 while not as good obviously talked about topical issues as well but it was becoming apparent that it might be taking on too much then season 3 dropped, yikes it gets to point when you try to cover to much and the show ends up a blurred un watchable shambles. The 7 is for what the first two seasons accomplished only to be slapped in the face by season 3.
