13 Reasons Why
Netflix brought Jay Asher's heartbreaking, bestselling book 13 Reasons Why to TVs everywhere in March. The 13-episode series follows Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette), a high school student who receives a box of 13 cassette tapes featuring recordings by Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), his friend and classmate who recently committed suicide. On each tape (all of which are directed at a different one of their peers), Hannah explains how they ended up being a reason she killed herself.
