Subject: "13 Reasons Why" and its impact on late-2010s culture
Written By: HeyJealousy on 06/25/17 at 5:04 pm
This series seems quite a ways apart from its predecessors in the early and mid 2010s, in terms of subject matter, tone and cinematography. It has garnered extreme controversy also has established a significant fanbase, despite not being featured on broadcast television. Is this a start of an era of envelope-pushing series exclusive to Netflix, Amazon Prime and the works?
Or was it "Orange Is The New Black" that really kicked off that trend?
Is "13 Reasons Why" more mid or late 2010s, in terms of feel?

Well, I don't know what an archetypical late 2010s show feels like yet, since we haven't seen that many. Aesthetically, 13 Reasons Why feels very much like a mid-decade premium cable show, with that particular kind of muted lighting and cinematography to boot.
I'd say that the streaming services are already pushing the envelope in how we consume content, so it makes sense that they could cement their subversion from "traditional" media by continuing to tackle more challenging stories.
