Alex death too

My main problem was her selfishly involving Clay at all. She even admits he doesn't belong on the tapes but that they wouldn't be complete without him. Everyone acting like he did some horrible thing just made him even more hesitant, and then he finds out that it was even worse than he though. Of course it somehow helped him to move on anyway, and Tony played a huge part in that.

The tapes deal with bullying. Yet Hannah herself causes a kid to be even more ostracized and bullied, leading to somewhere even darker. It deals with consent. Hannah was furious her poem was published, but she's willing to air other people's dirty laundry. Bryce refuses to take no for an answer. Clay could've would've should've, but the fact is he tried multiple times in that bedroom to reach out to her and she told him to get out, but somehow we're supposed to believe he should have ignored that and declared his love for her when she clearly didn't want to hear it. She has 13 reasons why her life was ruined, and yet she completely ruins at the very least Alex's life with what she does, and his betrayal was perhaps one of the most innocuous ones. I mean she completely sets the counselor up with the tape recorder. He was terrible, sure, but geez.

Maybe this is intentional on the part of the book/series, as I said they pointed out several flaws in Hannah's plan, not the least of which is the devastation her parents felt, and of course someone committing suicide isn't thinking of that. But she took the time to come up with such an elaborate plan, making maps, recalling events, structuring the narrative, that it makes me wonder what she thought would happen to her parents?

The funeral and the dance were mostly great and what could've been a coda for the show. The Tyler stuff here was sickening. After all the abuse we've already seen him take on this show they go and have him beaten and raped at school? This was so wrong and seemingly manipulative of the writers to have us feel sorry for a guy that's about to shoot up a school. I also, thought it was pretty terrible that when they find out what Tyler's about to do they go and do the exact opposite of what they should've done. They go and talk to and armed gunman and help him escape.

It's sadly realistic too, as someone like Bryce with all that wealth and privilege would get off with a slap on the wrist (see Brock Turner). As for Tyler, I'm still wrapping my head around that one. They teased a school shooting with him as the culprit since Season 1 and had loads of hints this season before finally dealing with it in the last 15-20 minutes or so in the finale. I don't know what or how a potential Season 3 will address what happened. Several characters probably won't come back as they either graduated or left town and I don't see any reason for "Hannah" to continue. Without the gimmick of tapes, a trial or Polaroids, does the show just become a super-serious Degrassi then? On top of the Tyler situation, you've got Justin's continued drug addiction and the Jessica/Alex/Justin love triangle. Plus will the jock bullies finally get what's coming to them?
