Tape 1 Side B

13 Reasons Try

You Are Not Alone

The ghost of Hannah haunts Clay - and the corridors of Liberty High

Glowing white, like Laura Palmer 25 years before her, glorious Hannah is fresh in our minds as we end the first side, flip the cassette over and continue to listen to her revelations.

It's more apparent in the second episode that there are two colour palettes used in the increasingly run-together time periods: the first is a slightly over-warm hue suggesting hope; the second is washed out and grubbier, suggesting despair and a descent into oblivion.

Jessica is the featured character on side B, a friend who starts the school at about the same time as Hannah - and the two get along brilliantly: the humour and the cluelessness of the subject of the humour works really well here. The pair continue to be enjoyably watchable as we see their "hot-chocolate friendship" blossom.

Soon, a third character - and the subject of Tape 2 side A - "Alex Alex Standing" joins the three with his signature "coffee drink du jour". The dynamic changes a little and it's clear this trio could become the heart of the programme, but before long Hannah tells us Jessica and Alex have hooked up secretly and have stopped coming to Monet's diner - at least that's what Hannah wants us to believe.

At the cinema, Hannah is later being kind to her lonely friend Jessica, when the arrival of Alex makes her have an abrupt change of attitude.  Hannah repays the dishonesty of her friends with the awkward imposition of a ticket price.

Clay bugs me in this episode by tearing off the corner of his Skittles bag. There's no need to litter - especially at your place of work. Also, he is sporting a plaster on his forehead now, as if the audience was struggling to follow the time periods.

Clay and Hannah shine while the moon gets slightly darker
