One of Netflix’s most POLICY series turns 6 in 2023; See curiosities!

Exactly six years ago, the Netflix launched one of its most controversial series: the adaptation of ’13 Reasons Why’.

Based on the homonymous work by Jay Asherthe production has the young Hannah as the center of the narrative (Katherine Langford), who took his own life after countless instances of suffering and who sent a box of thirteen cassette tapes to Clay (dylan minnette), listing all the reasons that made her commit suicide. And, as if that weren’t enough, they came with instructions to be passed on to the others involved in the case.

also counting on Christian Navarro, Alisha Boe, Brandon Flynn, Justice Prentice and several others in the cast, the first season received a favorable reception from critics – but attracted several comments that spoke about its sensitive content, including being the subject of controversies that involved the increase in suicide cases in the United States a month after the premiere of show.
