Justin is probably the most fleshed out character on the entire series. His storyline was heartbreaking right back to his younger days. With his mother being on drugs, he missed out on the childhood kids are entitled to.

He made a lot of mistakes, for sure, and that's why he ran away. He did the only thing he could do to cope, and it turned out that he was reliant on drugs, much like his mother.

All he wanted was to be a part of a family that cared for him, and it looks like he's going to get that living with the Jensens. Whether they will successfully help him get off the drugs before he winds up dead is another story.

I think we can all agree on this one: Bryce.

He is the most despicable human being on all of TV. From his horrific actions, to his contradictory ways, he proved on 13 Reasons Why Season 2 that there was absolutely no redeeming himself.

Having him avoid a prison sentence was difficult to watch, but it was more about sending the message that money is influence, and that's why Justin was sent away for months instead.

For a show that's filled with some of the best acting around, Alisha Boe really came into her own on 13 Reasons Why Season 2.

Her performance was simply outstanding and worthy of any acting category the show is nominated in.

While Clay seeing Hannah may have seemed like a desperate attempt to keep Katherine Langford on the show, there was a big payoff at the end.

With the case over, Hannah's parents decided to have a funeral for their daughter. This scene proved that Clay was holding on to Hannah as a coping mechanism, but he felt that he had done enough to let her leave his mind and cross over to the next part of her journey.

The directing was on point, and it felt like the pair were genuinely getting further and further away from each other.

Lord Huron's "The Night We Met" playing at the dance was a perfect throwback to that first dance between Hannah and Clay on Season 1.

With Hannah gone, and the song playing again, it perfectly showed off how far these teenagers have come. Clay needed support and everyone rallied around him.

It was a beautiful moment that proved that these teenagers have been bonded for life, despite being caught up in a horrifying chain of events.

Hannah created a list of reasons not to kill herself, and it was only two short of the reasons she had to end her life.

Finding this out was heartbreaking because it proved that a whole lot more thought than we first anticipated went into Hannah's decision to commit suicide.

Finding out that he was two of the reasons for Hannah not to kill herself proved to be a big moment for Clay.

Chloe's pregnancy was a huge twist, but it means that we are very likely to see more of Bryce on 13 Reasons Why Season 3.

How will she cope with the fact that she's carrying the child of the man who has been publicly outed as a rapist?

Could we be in for another legal battle that focuses on Chloe's fight to keep the child away from Bryce?

I'm sorry, Alex, but Jessica has way more chemistry with Justin.

It's obvious that Jessica and Justin are an endgame couple. The two of them were still longing for each other at the end of Season 2, and it resulted in them having sex ... at the dance.

Jessica needs to wise up and let Alex down because their relationship has the longevity of Bryce's loyalty.

Cutting the school shooting storyline short. God, Tyler has been through the mill with the students at the school, and it's clear that he felt he had no other option than to open fire at the students.

It was surprising that Clay stood in front of the gun to talk him down, but the kid genuinely needs help. It would have been unsettling to watch anyone die at the hands of Tyler.

Zach officially left Bryce behind on 13 Reasons Why Season 2. Having the character think for himself without consulting with the villain was a welcome move that made him so much more likable.

Let's hope his improvement continues well into Season 3.

The Season 2 finale, "Bye" was a perfect example of this show at its best. There were shocks, full circle moments, and lots of big twists. It successfully wrapped up most of the lingering plot threads from the first two seasons and set the stage for what is sure to be a much more consistent third season.

If 13 Reasons Why returns for Season 3, the show has to move on from Hannah, and that means no more Katherine Langford.

Part of the biggest flaw with Season 2 was Hannah showing up in such a gimmicky way.

These kids need to start the healing process, and I suspect there are going to be some big ramifications with Clay holding that gun at the end of the finale.

We need more coherent stories that don't meander without a reason to.

C+.

The first half of the season was far too slow, but it gradually built towards an excellent conclusion. 13 episodes is far too much for this show, and the show would work better with a shorter episode order.

The earlier episodes felt padded out with a lot of things we already learned on Season 1, and it made those episodes a drag to watch.
