I haven't been able to sleep for the last three days. At all. So I figured I would watch something on netflix until I felt sleepy (which is always, but still can't sleep, cheers, insomnia) and I decided to watch this show because I've heard so many people rave about how great and "real" it was.

I've been suicidal for years, and I hoped I'd find some kind of relation in it. I watched all of them in one sitting(laying), and my main thought is "more like 13 hours I will never get back". I would rate it 3/10 purely because of the camera work and lighting.

The story felt very trite, sensationalist, and try-hard, and anything but realistic for me. Essentially the suicide version of Once upon a time (still like that one though because it's so cheesy).

I could not relate to Hannah a single time. And the one thing that kept me watching was that for some reason I was convinced it was a true story, so I felt I couldn't complain about how extremely cheesy and ameri-teen it felt, but then I realise it wasn't and I don't even.

Also it was way too fucking long and had too many pointless sidetracks. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER (?) the way Jeff was presented and handled felt seriously like they were phoning it in.

It makes me feel even shittier when people around me who are bubbly and hip and cheery go around praising this show as the most realistic shit they have seen in a long time and such.

I don't know, maybe I'm too old and just can't personally relate to it.
