You

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 was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I know it's been hyped up ever since the first season and has gotten good ratings and reviews from nearly everyone but I still didn't think I was going to like it. I was made to watch the first season and loved it. After that I binged the rest of the seasons on my own in record time. I'm not saying it's my favorite show or even close to that but it's one of the most surprising shows I've seen. It was originally suppose to be a miniseries but is such a popular show they keep renewing it. Season 4 drops early 2023. Penn Badgley does such a great job with this character, he's very believable in being a lovable psychopath.

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.

Season 1 was okay, entertainable. Didn't like Beck at all though.

Season 2 is more mature and Love is a great character (great actress). The season is more thrilling and the story isn't that cheesy. Really enjoyed it!

You is a psychological drama that feels politically correct. It follows the life of a serial killer and ex bookkeeper "Joe Goldberg".

Penn Badgley was casted as Joe which I think was a perfect casting decision. Badgley makes Joe seem Sinister and imperfect, which is exactly what makes the show so intriguing.

The way the show alters by Joe's thoughts is what keeps it so raw, if it was narrated from a third person perspective, I think the show would be boring but since we are in the eyes of a serial killer, we gain interest in it.

The show also has the correct amount of violence and narration. Action isn't always occurring, which is perfect due to suspense being key in a thriller like this.

The writing is also formed in a way which makes you sometimes side with Joe, which is why Joe is such an important and interesting character.

The show isn't perfect though, there's a lot of "cheesy" aspects to the show which make it seem unrealistic despite realism being the intention.

The directors make Joe seem like the sane one throughout the seasons, which especially with his role, is not what should happen.

A lot of the cast don't get as much air time as they deserve, which is a bummer since many of them are talented actors.
