The BEST Quotes From '13 Reasons Why' About Life, Death — And Moving On

13 Reasons Why is by far one of the most popular (and most intense) shows out on Netflix right now.

The premise of this show sounds simple enough — a teenage girl commits suicide and leaves behind a set of cassette tapes detailing the thirteen reasons why she decided to go through with it to all the people in her life who she believed were partially responsible.

But it's more than that.

It's a show (based off of the best selling novel written by Jay Asher) that details the seemingly normal life of a group of high schoolers, and the simple — sometimes small — ways each of their comments, bullying, lack of communication and assumptions can ripple into a hole of depression and despair that, for some people, is inescapable.

This isn't a show that could just be aired on regular network television because, let's face it, sometimes we need to watch something this hard to swallow in a way that only Netflix can give you.
