13 Reasons Why: Let the Dead Bury the Dead (2019)
Season 3 is an uphill struggle
One of the biggest complaints for season 3 is Ani and how her character had no merit to narrate the entire season. I agree, but by the 6th or 7th episode, you just get used to her and focuse more on the plot. I also have issues with Ani and her mother being in the same residence as Bryce, like the court system would in no way let an underage girl live in the same household as him after the events of Season 2, even if he weren't convicted!
One of the things I wasn't really keen on, was the shock factor. We knew from the trailer for the season that the plot revolves around Bryce and who murdered him - that's the shock value right there - we didn't need those few others that involved violent sex or hooker sex or the constant, heavy drug use.... it was so disappointing the writing felt like it needed all that. Life of teenagers today revolved around sex, drugs, and snapchatting, we get it.
The first few episodes are slow, recapping and going no where. It really took until that 5th episode or so to begin telling the story and get interesting and captivating. However, like other reviewers, I thought the conclusion was anticlimactic and more of a problematic solution for an already problematic group of people who don't ever, ~ever~ see the faults in their ways until someone points it out to them.
The season struggles at first, then hits its stride. And by the time you make it to the end, you're at the top of the hill with the realization that now you have to come back down and it was all kinda pointless.
