Finale

It was if they didn't know how to end it, asked ChatGPT what the final season should be, and went with the first idea it spit out.

To make matters worse, they did this weird 4th wall breaking "moment" that attempts to teach the audience something we all already knew: Joe is the antagonist in the story and deserves what he gets.

I kept getting this sense that they were attempting to subvert the audiences expectations. But because we already knew what was supposed to happen, it didn't subvert at all, fell flat, and gave us an empty finale that didn't do justice to the 4 incredible seasons that came before it.

This one will definitely into the same category of Game of Thrones-where the audience's intelligence is mocked and the finale spits out a dud.

I'm so sick of hamfisted feminist ideological garbage. "You" was an excellent psychological thriller in spite of that, but they got completely carried away in the finale. It's absolutely underwhelming and a massive shame. Seasons 2, 3, and 4 were all phenomenal with engaging finales. This finale was flaccid.

It felt like the writers abandoned the show's core identity in favor of virtue signaling. Instead of delivering the tight, suspenseful, and morally complex storytelling that defined earlier seasons, they leaned into cartoonish caricatures and forced messaging. Joe's character arc, which had always been nuanced and disturbing in a captivating way, was flattened into a bizarre justification of his actions that didn't align with the careful buildup we'd seen before.

Worse, the finale lacked the edge and risk that made the show such a standout. Gone were the sharp twists and layered tension-replaced instead with tidy, unearned resolutions and an over-reliance on monologues that felt like lecture notes rather than dialogue. It's frustrating to watch a show that once balanced social commentary with gripping storytelling so well fall prey to the very pitfalls it used to critique.

Season 5 of You was honestly such a huge disappointment. After waiting so long for the final season, the ending we got was incredibly rushed and underwhelming. It felt like the writers had no clue how to wrap things up and just threw something together last minute. For a show that once had strong storytelling and character depth, this finale was anything but satisfying. And then there's Bronte a character who literally came out of nowhere. She had no proper backstory, her motivations made no sense, and she felt completely out of place. Her scenes were so cringe and poorly written, it felt like watching bad fanfiction come to life. It's frustrating to invest so much time into a show and end up with such a weak, confusing final season. Fans deserved a smarter, more thoughtful conclusion. Netflix really needs to reevaluate who they have writing these shows, because we absolutely deserve better than this.

Such a dark series doesn't deserve a happy ending!

Why do we have to put a happy ending to almost every dark series or movies?! Why do we have to kid ourselves that Evil doesn't win almost all the time in the real world. Especially at the current time we live in. Who ever says it's to bring hope to people that bad people and bad deeds will be punished is just lying. We don't need a lie to cover the reality and it's not even helping.

Too many bad decisions happened in the finale that normally Joe wouldn't have done. They were just too convenient for the plot to bring it to that closure. I hate such bad endings to good series and I bet you do too. Well it's another series that didn't stick the landing.

This is so painful. I never thought I'd rate my favorite show 1 star but this finale felt like a stab in the back ..why just why?

I've been a major fan for this series since 2022 I made a lot of people watch it. And now I regret it.. I finished this season in one night And when a song by mitski started playing my exceptions reached the sky for this finale ..out of all endings. They somehow made it worse than the ending of New blood and I'm not saying I want Joe to win .. but this ending felt so forced they ran of ideas ..and not to talk about these girls having super powers and Joe getting fooled twice? TWICE? Like hello?? That isn't the Joe in season 3 and 4.. that's so disrespectful for the fans to end it like that ..let alone trying to make the ending so humiliating for joe just to make it funny..and it was so bad Good job writers ruining this masterpiece.
