A note for grown-ups: “Stranger Things” is not the next blockbuster series “13 Reasons Why” that is going to be provided by Netflix.
Those in that same demographic who helped that book reach the children and young adult bestsellers list are likely to be its target audience which means there is a low chance that the book’s parents will find the series appealing. The series is based on Jay Asher’s 2007 novel of the same name which is set to be released on Friday.
The tone and style of this show is a darker version of Pretty Little Liars, and the show Twisted, which was aired on Freeform (ABC Family). Like those shows, this series also sees teen years as a reason to be quite unfathomable to the Adults.
13 Reasons Who is a television show that expects young audiences to watch it mainly due to the fact it is a mix of dark thriller genre along with teenage drama; but do understand it is a very graphic show which contains factors such as rape and suicide that are very realistically portrayed.
And for the rest of us, if you have come here looking for something out of this tangled storyline, then it is highly recommended that you look out for the voice-overs in the series as that may be the only interesting characteristic you will find within the show.
Nearly three weeks after he lost her, Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette), a sensitive and shy student in her class who had an enviable crush on her that he never expressed, somehow received shoeboxes stuffed with the unique mixtapes from her. Maxell 60s cassette tapes for all the diehard fans out there.
The tapes included her depictions of thirteen suicidal events which she largely contributed to a single bully classmate or guardian and recorded on each tape. Rather, she left directions that if he is last in the order, all other bullies pass it to Clay because most of those whom she claimed were already familiar with it.
This book began in the same way except that it was one night with Clay listening while visiting each of the places where Hannah was bullied. Yorkey has actually increased the current section of the plot into 13 one hour parts (moving back in time for Hannah and then forward into the Present for cuts of Clay).
This time CIO Themistocles doesn’t have to be a passive listener the entire time and becomes an active participant in the story. Yet it seems she is not the only one interested in vindicating Hannah. The focus shifts to the violence of Hannah’s former classmates, which is clearly justified – they all sought revenge on her abusers.
It was almost only a matter of time before the book evolved into a series, in this case, thirteen parts. But this inflation also has its drawbacks. In the case of Hannah – who claims to suffer from innumerable misfortunes ranging from being ditched by her friends to meeting with car crashes Head on, or sexual abuse – une young adult novels perhaps make it easier to read through all of them at once.
Emotional and cognitive filters should permit a progression of these events; thus the audience is expected to understand that the character’s change of social status coupled with decreasing self-evaluation is the cause for new instances of harassment or betrayal. However, it doesn’t appear that way in her case. It is more like watching a commercial, only a very long one.
Yet another issue is a device in storytelling which quickly becomes tiresome. Clay’s involvement in the tapes makes a single sitting pivotal to the plot of the Netflix series as agonizing; however, Tape 1 precipitates events making it impossible to say “Stop”. So, rather than being a typical teenager who would expect to put all the tapes in at once like many fictional teenagers in the television series, Clay immerses himself in one tape only, and together with the other viewers, begins confronting other people around him – asking him questions, debating issues or getting to physical altercations – while having no idea what happened or where he was involved when it was so easy to catch up in one or two hours of uninterrupted streaming.
Apart from this, it is also likely that you might want to shout at him for the lack of further footage or relate to some of the other characters from Play. You might presume that as well, although it is hard to disagree with the image of the high school dramas that some of the characters have. The general idea- it would probably resonate well with adolescents- is that if someone managed to understand his motivation to commit suicide, then she wouldn’t have other people repeating the same action. However, Daryl Luke’s quite harassed character of school counselor has an evidence-based approach and indeed said: you never know.
