It was last year when I binge-watched 13 Reasons Why season 2. But before me, there were several of them who completed the season and gave me hints of a gruesome sequence which took place between Montgomery de la Cruz and Tyler Down. Thus I left the show at season 2 episode 12, telling myself that I will never look back at this drama ever again. Cut to August 1, 2019, when the makers of 13 Reasons Why unveiled the trailer for the third season and what did we see? Yes, Bryce Walker is dead! Like after the first two seasons, many would have cursed the character and prayed that he should have been dead instead of Hannah.

Well, I was one of them too! Bryce is a character who was loved to hate by people. His sadist nature and not caring about people around him made him one of the worst people ever witnessed on the tube. But why did the makers decide to make a murder mystery around Bryce Walker's death, I still don't know after watching the third season. But apart from Bryce, there was one more unnecessary character which the makers introduced, Ani. She is the narrator of season three and made me miss Hannah more.

Ani tried to be a part of the Liberty High students and the way she was squeezing in showed how she was not so welcomed there. On top of it, she stays at Bryce's home, who is living with his mother now. 13 Reason Why 3 is entirely in flashback wherein Ani is interrogated by the cops on the murder of Bryce Walker, who was dead due to drowning. Not intending to give any spoiler, but the murderer was also not so surprising and I wished it could have been Bryce's or Hannah's mother! *Oops*

No one should be killed, it's true, and the way the makers shaped up Bryce's character in the third season will make you feel for him for a minute but bam he is back to be a bully, narcissist and above all, a rapist. I was almost on the verge of skipping episodes to know the murderer and get done with it. But I patiently went through all the 13 episodes and I still wonder why. It gave me more reasons to stay away from the show and might do the needful during the fourth season.

Clay Jensen, who is perpetually puzzled and sad hasn't changed at all in this season. Jessica Davis emerges victoriously after being a rape victim and becomes a voice of the survivors. Justin Foley has his ups and downs but he is still not hate-worthy. Tyler gets his justice and that was much-needed! Ani? Why is she here?!

Verdict: There was no need for opening a book which was already read and sealed forever!
