Katherine Langford looks and sounds so much like her. Maybe the author Jay Asher was a fan of Felicity when it was still on TV.
Those are good points about Keri Russell; talk about meta. I just started the second season of 13 Reasons and I'm really curious where they go, now. On a side note, I started binging The Americans and, damn, Keri Russell really shines in that role. She is so believable as someone hardened by her upbringing and trained to kill. It's great that she found this role that is a complete 180 from her earlier work as the quieter/wallflower type. Unfortunately, that's not on Netflix. I think you can still catch the entire series on FX, though.
