Featured reviews
Well, Stephen, you should know that the show is based on a book called "You", and that's why the show is called "You". You have to understand the book is written completely in second person, and you should be aware that in second person, the author addresses the listener (person reading) as "you", and in this book you hear the protagonist constantly going on long, indignant rants that you hear him say "you" in, many times in one sentence, thus the title. Had the book been called "Stalker" (assuming you meant "stalker", not the most likely autocorrected version of the word that I already forgot that you suggested as a name, similar to "stalker") or "Creep" the show might have been, appropriately, named as such. You, hopefully, understand.
If you've read the book, you'll see how spot on the narration is, while it sticks loosely to the timeline. The show makes good choices for pacing, so far.

This was by far one of my favorite season openers of any show.
This season introduces you to the main character, Joe Goldberg and his obsessive behaviors toward women.
This season focuses on Joe and Beck's relationship and boy does it put you on a rollercoaster, you see all the ups and downs and boy does it take a turn.
Another main plot this season is Joe and his neighbors son Paco. Paco is the son of a drug addict mother who is in a relationship with an abuser. Joe throughout the season shows his heart when he tries to protect Paco from his dysfunctional family.
This is a fantastic season and you should definitely give it a watch. The only reason I gave it an 8 is because of some questionable decisions in the last episode. IYKYK.

Well written and acted. Surprised how good this show turned out to be.
Overall, the pilot episode of this show is quite entertaining and captivating. It pulls you in with an intriguing sense of mysticism, creating a rich atmosphere that keeps your attention from start to finish. I couldn't help but draw parallels to "Dexter" with its dark themes, although this series takes a unique twist that makes it feel fresh and charming in its own right. The character development and plot twists are engaging, and I find myself eagerly anticipating what will unfold next. I'm sharing this review to reflect on whether I want to continue watching the series, and I must say, the pilot has done an excellent job of piquing my curiosity. It has left me wanting more, and I'm excited to see how the story evolves as the episodes progress.
Nice beginning and shows a very known negative side of Social Media. But the way he monologued about the things he can get just by one view on anybody Social life was really good.
By the way he is really a good character with both positive and negative impact.

- GoofsNo self respecting bookbinder would use a heavy mallet to round a spine. Anyone who has ever repaired or bound a book of this caliber would use a rounding hammer, specifically designed for such a purpose.
- Quotes
Joe Goldberg: All books add up to one essential truth, which is, if your IQ is above a certain number, life is pretty much unbearable. And the number is not even that high.
