It just came out on Netflix yesterday. Anybody watching? I read the book last year and thought it had a powerful message. I'm only half way through the TV series, but so far I think they've done a fantastic job with it. I'm really impressed with the actors/actresses.

It looks good, but Dylan Minnette reminds me of Logan Lerman in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I am but I'm only on the second episode. After watching the 1st episode, I was skeptical, but the 2nd episode is good.

4 episodes in so far, pretty good for teen genre, will finish
kind of weird seeing teenagers with multiple tattoos in high school

I'm almost finished, just two episodes left. I don't cry easily, but episode eleven got me.

It was good. I didn't care much for it at first, but I finished it a few days ago. Makes you think.

It was pretty good. Considerably darker and deeper than you'd expect a teenage show to be, and very compelling although it's certainly not flawless.

Finished it this morning...it was good. It kind of drags in a few places. I really wished they had picked up the pace a bit in a few places. There was also some over the top clichés going on throughout the show...those things keep me from giving it a perfect score. But all in all, it's a good show I'd recommend.

Started great, finished a bit weak, overall 8/10
I felt they were eyeing up a 2nd series which made it weaker

The last 3 episodes are the best of the series, the 11th packing the biggest emotional punch, and the last 2 incredibly disturbing.

When Clay finds out why he might have been responsible for Hannah's death is probably the one that grips you.

I'm watching it now and I'm loving it. It's a really well made series. The style of storytelling is great. It's one of those shows that if you zone out for a second you could easily miss something important.

I absolutely loved the whole series--I thought it was incredibly well done and acted.

This is actually one of my favorite books and I was so worried that the show would not do the book justice but they did an excellent job. I thought the casting was great and the last few episodes were just so heartbreaking. The book takes place in the course of one night though. Clay spends all night listening to the tapes. I would give it an eight out of ten.

I finished the first season, and I absolutely loved it. Just as one self contained season, I think it was one of the best individual TV seasons I have ever watched. The writing was strong, and in particularly I think the directing and editing was even stronger. It was one of those shows were you have to pay attention every second because if you don't you could easily miss something important.

I'm up episode 11. This is a very good show. I keep hearing about a season 2 but isn't this entire season the whole book itself?
