Schedeen of IGN praised the cast, particularly Minnette and Langford, stating: "Langford shines in the lead role ... [and] embodies that optimism and that profound sadness [of Hannah's] as well. Clay and his friends are struggling to cope with the cover-up of Tyler's attempted massacre at the Spring Fling, while helping him towards recovery. However, when they started high school, their friendship fell apart and they both seem to blame the other for it. [102], Netflix responded to criticism adding strong advisory warnings prior to the ninth, twelfth, and thirteenth episodes in the first season, the first two due to rape and the last due to the suicide scene. At the onset of the series, Clay Jensen, a junior at Liberty, receives a set of seven tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his friend and crush who committed suicide.

The actress' performance is full of dynamic range, setting it against Minnette's often more complicated task in differentiating between moods that mostly go from uncomfortable to gloomy to red-eyed, hygiene-starved despair. [129], The NASP statement also criticized the series' suggestion that bullying alone led Hannah to take her life, noting that while it may be a contributing factor, suicide far more often results from the bullied person having a "treatable mental illness and overwhelming or intolerable stressors", along with a lack of adequate coping mechanisms. Skye had piercings and tattoos, and one has to assume that's the change Clay was referring to. In response, Netflix added a warning card and from March 2018 on, a video that plays at the start of each season warning viewers about its themes. Skye is known for wearing a certain, consistent style of clothing. "[49] On Metacritic, the season has an average score of 49 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
