Finale

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.

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.

The finale i expected was supposted to be chaotic, thrilling spine chilling, but the writers literally made the finale the worst episode of the whole series. Such a shame to see one of my favourite show going down with such a poor ending.

The final episode completely deflates the intense buildup that the rest of the series carefully constructed over the years. Joe was always a character walking a tightrope-constantly balancing his manipulative charm with his sociopathic tendencies. The beauty of the show was in the discomfort it created, making viewers question why they were rooting for someone so irredeemable. The finale throws that all away in favor of an oddly tidy resolution that robs the series of its signature tension and complexity.

The finale felt like it was written in a rush, as if the writers just wanted to wrap things up with a bow, regardless of whether it made emotional or narrative sense. Major characters were sidelined or given abrupt exits. Plot threads that were carefully woven earlier were dropped without explanation or resolution. The final confrontation, if you can even call it that, felt uninspired and lacked any real emotional weight.

We deserved better. YOU deserved better.

I find the ending of season five incredibly disappointing for so many reasons. Rather than delivering a finale that pushed the plot into unsuspected realms of thought provoking complexity, especially given its former unpredictable narrative trajectory, it felt like the finale was finished more for the sake of wrapping things up nicely, eliminating any complexity, rather than to truly challenge the story and return true closure to characters initially depicted in thought provoking ways. Instead of Joe being his unpredictable self, with all its insanity and dark undertones, Joe reined it in to calm, boring Joe after this build-up. The story had enormous tension build-up and high hopes of character introspection, yet fell flat and fell back on tired tropes we've seen countless times before. There was no shocking or grand twist that deserves the weight of the season into a necessary powerful conclusion with emotional heft. The writers appeared to be taking a route of least resistance rather than risking the outcome of truly daring conclusion. Instead of finishing with whatever shocks fans to compliment to overwhelming viewers positively shock, it left me unsatisfied, uninspired, and forgetting its potential.

Collectively, I couldn't help but feel disappointed as the narrative and story did not have the final punch that contained promise built throughout the seasons. While its plot line was enormous and entertaining, the ending left me thinking it will not inform thought you would expect from the finale after seeing some promise with narrative development built into the writing. It didn't make you rethink and feel compelled that a story should really stand out, yet somehow this ending stripped any bite left from the plot, leaving useless void of an anticlimax with overwhelming disappointment, which is why I was truly dissatisfied.

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.
