Review of You

You (2018–2024)
9/10
Season 2 lifted up the series!
30 December 2019
First of all, loads of congratulations to Penn Badgely's superior and creepy acting as the enigmatic and psycho lead character bearing dark secrets of his past leading to the dangerous person he is shown in the present in the show. He was perfectly cast, catapulted the whole series upward and is an actor full of specific talents as fans remember him well in Gossip Girl.

That being said, the difference and superiority of season 2 over the first one, IMO, was the casting and presence of Victoria Pedretti who shone and almost singlehandedly lifted the season 2 all by herself. She deserves nomination after nomination and ultimately awards as does Penn Badgely as the lead actors, together with various nominations for the show itself starting at the prestigious Emmy 2020.

On a side note, please don't forget and underestimate the performances of Elizabeth Lail and Shay Mitchell in season 1, who very brightly acted and are among the reasons, which makes this show unique.

"You" will stand the test of time due to its freshness, subject, superior acting and unique approach, very well fed by the suspenseful novel by Caroline Kepnes.

Highly recommended series to watch, enjoy and ponder upon as most reviews and ratings do it justice.
