IndieWire Review: Too Many Twists Turn ABC’s Suicide Drama Into Ghoulish Entertainment

As a fan of Grimm and Psych, I had to give this a shot, but serialized drama really isn't my bag, so I doubt I'll continue. This didn't really work for me though anyway - I agree with the IndieWire review's assessment; having the 'mystery' of a suicide motive be the engine of a show is off-putting. (Also, I took a pretty immediate dislike to Livingston's character, so, that didn't help.)

Good thing I noticed this. I'm definitely out! There are better ways for me to get flashbacks to junior high, thanks.

So this is the network answer to "13 Reasons Why"? Even the name is reminiscent.
