Why Netflix's 13 Reasons Why Season 3 renewal is a bad idea

TVLine

"No matter how many reasons there might be to renew it, there are always more reasons why not," says Andy Swift, who calls the third season pickup unnecessary and shortsighted. "But I’m not just opposed to a third season," he says, "I’m also concerned about what it will bring. In an effort to retain viewers, shows often feel the need to 'top' themselves with each new season, but what does that mean for 13 Reasons Why? If it means more gratuitous scenes ... you can count me out."
