How does this episode have a 9.5 rating??? Is there even a point to IMDb if this is considered to be near perfect screen writing/directing/acting? I've seen Lifetime movies that were similar in writing and acting. The characters aren't likable, their actions and reasoning are hardly believable, and the whole show we're lead to believe that Clay had this huge part in Hannah offing herself, when in reality, he "let her down" because he left after she told him to leave her alone multiple times. That was the big reveal? That he didn't keep pestering her after she yells "Get the f*** out of here! Leave me alone!" in his face several times? What a crock of ...
Seriously. They were hooking up at a party, he asked her a couple times if she was comfortable and everything was okay, and she told him she was. Until she suddenly starts thinking of the way all the guys she knows are jerks. She starts freaking out and telling him to stop. Fine. I can get that. He then starts putting on his shirt and asking her if she's alright, which she responds to by telling him to leave. Rinse and repeat a few times with her getting more and more irate until he decides to leave. This, we're meant to believe, is why Clay is responsible for her suicide. Are you serious? Tony tells him he killed Hannah? Even though she says on the tape that Clay was one of the people she actually liked? What is Tony a psychopath all of a sudden? We're meant to believe that his character wouldn't tell Clay not to worry so much about what's on his tape?
These characters are unbelievably unrealistic, and the whole show feels like a huge waste of time.
Seriously. I don't get the hype. The whole show revolves around this ridiculous notion that suicide is a carefully thought out process where the person committing suicide has time to record a bunch of cassettes where they give sarcastic quips as to why they decide to kill themselves before actually doing it. The main character, Hannah, is written in such a way that makes me not even care that she kills herself. If she's the type of person who would record a bunch of tapes to torment from beyond the grave those she feels let her down, good riddance. She's whiny and self-centered. The show pushes this idea that bullying is a major cause of suicide, which studies upon studies disprove. Suicide victims have been shown to be suffering from treatable mental illnesses at the time of their deaths, which the show doesn't tackle once. Not once are we lead to believe that Hannah is grappling with anything more than standard teen angst (which she would notice all of her peers also struggle with, if she wasn't so far up her own ass). Booooooooo!
Learn how to rate movies and series, folks. This is far from near perfect. In content and execution.
