I do understand how anyone could have mixed thoughts on this, but after thinking many of them through myself, I think the work was well done overall. Articulating how depression 'freezes' one, preventing them from seeking help, while others wonder why they didn't, has to be a seriously difficult task.
While I have many reactions to the series, one of the more simply-stated ones is a quote from one of the characters in the last episode - "It has to get better. The way we treat each other. The way we look out for each other". It's something I learned from personal experience, having known three who attempted suicide, two of which accomplished their goal.
It might be a while before I could watch this again, but when I do, I will enjoy it, for it's message if nothing else.
*spoiler alert* *maybe*
The couple or so of mixed thoughts I had centered around how long it took him so long to go thru the tapes, and then the building it up for the 'wait til your tape' comes up. It just seemed to made up for the sake of telling the story. And another thought was her going to that second party as she was out walking. She knew what the one guy did at the first party as she was in the closet watching, yet still goes there uninvited at his house of all people. Just didnt seem that realistic to me at that point in the show.
Overall though I did like it for sure. And the ending seems to have setup a season 2, or it least that seemed the purpose of it.
