What's On Tonight (Friday): "13 Reasons Why" Gets A 4th Season

Via Gifer

One time popular Netflix show "13 Reasons Why" is back with yet another batch of episodes. I remember the first season of this being quite popular with people, yet the show got ice cold in popularity with each successive season since then. I get that they can't all have the lasting impact of a Stranger Things or an Ozark, but wasn't this one also like critically acclaimed at one point as well??? Meanwhile Cinemax also has a new action show kicking off its run tonight. This is What's On for June 5th 2020


Streaming

13 Reasons Why Not (Netflix): Again once rather popular Netflix show premieres its 4th season--if i remember right (I never actually saw it so I could be off) it was about the reasons behind the suicide of a popular student at a high school (or was it that she was an attempted suicide???) either way there were a list of reasons--possibly even 13 of them! and it touched off a whole raft of problems for the various characters in this teenager's orbit--many of whom are apparently still dealing with problems! (Ok!)

The Last Days of American Crime (Netflix): New Movie starring Sharlto Copley, Michael Pitt, and Edgar Ramirez, and Anna Brewster about two men and a woman who plan the heist of the century before a government broadcast signal wipes out all crime forever.

Queer Eye (Netflix): Volume 5 of the rebooted one time super popular Bravo series. (when was it originally on 2003? 2004?)

Dear....(Apple Plus): New docuseries from prolific emmy and peabody winning producer RJ Cutler is something that profiles an iconic pop cultural figure in depth for an hour via letters written to them by fans whose lives have been profoundly touched by their work. Said icons will include Oprah, Spike Lee, Stevie Wonder, Misty Copeland, Linn-Manuel Miranda, Gloria Steinem, Big Bird, and more. (ok!)
