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.
Featured reviews
You has been the center of my attention since 2019. I loved how captivating it was, a narrative thriller with strong acting and a great soundtrack. Season 2 took my experience to another level. Victoria Pedretti entered the scene and completely stole the spotlight from Penn Badgley, turning You into a masterpiece.
Season 3 had weaker writing, but it still delivered solid characters and managed to stand its ground. Then came Season 4, split into two parts, which felt like a major step backward. The flaws in the writing were fully exposed, and the main character became far too predictable and linear.
The fifth and final season started off well, but it went downhill fast. Netflix was clearly doing what it does best, pushing its agenda and forcing it onto the story. From the "girl power" gang to the terribly written feminism, it felt like a parody of what You once was. And the way they turned the main character into a joke was just sad.
Instead of delivering a proper closure, the final season felt like the rainbow fantasy of a confused teenager living in the UK, someone who knows nothing more than TikTok trends and Aldi snacks.

First 3 seasons were amazing. I loved it. S4 is just so boring. I really want to like it but all the characters are so unlikeable and the storyline is awful. Kate as the love interest?? . I just didn't get it. To go from the other women he was obsessed with to her makes no sense what so ever!. She had no redeeming qualities at all and had the personality of a mop.
Im Only on episode 6 and and would really love to finish what I started but I find myself drifting off or looking at my Phone and that's when I know it's lost on me.
I hope there is a s5 and it's back in the USA and has more interesting characters because this is utter gash!.

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}
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, 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).
