Poor girl was responsible for escalating all her own problems. even the main problem with the situation with Bryce, which he dispicably took advantage of. She stupidly went here and got in his hot tub in underwear knowing he was there and after witnessing him raping her friend, which she also did absolutely nothing about
I understand how serious depression can be and how it manifests itself even without reasons that people would typically consider "real problems", but in the context of a show it helps to have the tragic character, even if they cause their own downfall, be likable enough for you to root for their survival/success.
Also the show was 5 or so episodes too long. Hopefully the second season detailing a school shooting will be much more thoroughly compelling
I thought her making bad decisions was kind of the point. Every character was an emotional teenager who constantly did stupid shit. Pretty true to life. ---
