    Summary

    Reviewers say 'You' is lauded for its suspenseful plot and psychological intrigue, especially in the first two seasons. The show's exploration of obsession and love is often highlighted. However, later seasons face criticism for becoming convoluted and politically charged, with some finding the deviation from the original premise disappointing. Character development and plot consistency are points of contention. Despite mixed reviews, Penn Badgley's performance remains a consistent highlight.

    Better than expected!

    You is every bit as good as people have said it is and is pretty addicting once you start it. I've been putting off watching this since it first came out but finally found the time and now I'm mad I waited so long. For some reason I thought this was a show who's key demo was women. I was wrong. The thing that surprised me the most was how much humor is in it. It made me laugh a life more than I expected. Now, people saying that this isn't as good as Dexter are absolutely right (not much is), it isn't, but it definitely holds up on its own and thought it was overall a pretty good show. Penn Badgley does a fantastic job as the lead and Elizabeth Lail and Victoria Pedretti are both great in their roles as well. Now that I started it I can't wait for more seasons to come!

    great series apart from some careless moves

    Great series, reminding me of the iconic "Dexter".

    Acting is top notch, specially from Penn Badgley, completely unknown to me, but capable of portraying the complex, lethal and sensitive character of Joe.

    Victoria Pedretti on seasons 2 and 3 was just perfect. Quite a rollercoaster of great acting here.

    All 3 seasons delivered, with enough twists and last episode chaotic situations, that left me thinking "how the hell he's he going to come out of this" on the last episodes.

    I was very sceptic at first, specially due to some avoidable and quite dumb out of place pseudo-erotic mb scenes, but I kept the faith and was not disappointed.

    Strong points: the twists, chaotic situations, unpredictable moves and pace, all with wonderful acting through and through.

    Weaker points: imbecile erotic out of place moments (thankfully not many), terrible soundtrack that does not amaze or stay in the head (sorry) and dumb moves from Joe (and not only): not using gloves, using the same hat to hide himself (ala Clark Kent with his eyeglasses) and less attention to detail when we know he could be caught by doing the same mistakes over and over again.

    But... it's a great series nonetheless. If you loved "Dexter", it's not on par, but delivers, in a more "modern", less careful way and sometimes even a bit more chaotic in the situations where Joe puts himself on.

    Season 1 great, Season 2 good, Season 3 great again (don't understand the hate, really).

    Season 4 was trash.

    The first season is by far still the best. The newest season I don't even know where to start. Why add so many characters, it gets too convoluted and no one cares about any of them. Just go back to Joe + 1 girl. We don't need 10 sub plot lines with characters that don't matter. Also don't release the season in two parts again. I forgot the entirety of the plot(s) or who anyone was. I barely pushed through to finish it. Just release the whole season next time. So ya, too many plots in the latest season, too many characters. Just go back to the roots, season 1, 2, 3 were great. No idea who messed up season 4 so bad but they should do some self reflecting on their writing skills.

    "Should I?" or "Shouldn't I?"

    This is a "Should I?" or "Should I not?" kind of a series. From the pilot, we know the protagonist is definitely sociopathic, maybe even psychopathic. Is this an anti-hero we can get behind? But, there is just something about it that makes you want to watch one more episode... and then you find the first season is over! This is well written, well performed, addictive and, well, disturbing. I give the series an 8 (addictive) out of 10. {Dramatic Crime Thriller}

    8/10 only for early seasons

    Loved the first few seasons, but they really should've ended it with Love Quinn. That felt like the perfect stopping point. After that, I started to dislike Joe more and more each season-especially in season 5. His character lost the charm and complexity that made him interesting in the beginning. The plot just started feeling repetitive and less believable.

    The first couple seasons were such a ride, though. The tension, the twists, and that whole creepy romantic vibe actually worked. It felt fresh and addictive back then, and I couldn't stop watching.

    Overall, meh. Still loveee Penn Badgley.

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Penn Badgley almost turned down the role of Joe as he feared that the show would romanticize toxic behavior such as stalking. He was convinced after producers told him that that was the exact reason why he was right for the role- he would approach the show and part in a way that would ensure that Joe is clearly the villain of the story.
    • Goofs
      As a lover of books, especially rare/antiques, Joe would know better than to fold back the covers of paperback books. It puts strain on the spine.
