Michelle's Favorite Performances of 20176 of 10
Katherine Langford in "13 Reasons Why"
There was a lot of controversy around this series and questions if it was more harm than good for teens. After the new series spent weeks as the top title on the site, I started watching just to see what the fuss was all about. While I struggled with first episode, I was drawn in and ended up binge-watching the entire series over a weekend. I was so deeply moved by newcomer Katherine Langford's performance of what it feels like to be an awkward teenager who at the end of the day just wants to feel love and acceptance. And it was even more painful to realize that her perspective was skewed but she was just in too much pain to see it. Maybe this series is too much for teens, but I think it should be a must-watch for all parents of teenagers.
