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.

Better than expected!
Supermanfan-136 February 2022
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!
Made for Penn Badgley

Season 2 is even stronger than the first one.

You: Not perfect, but not far off.
hanisakorvysty12 August 2022
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.

Oddly Uncomfortable
nevynh11 September 2018
I watched this without expectation. I hadn't heard of the book. I hadn't seen any previews or descriptions. What i found was a pleasantly dark show. It's uncomfortable and unpredictable and has what is hopefully an amazing story to tell from a unique perspective.
We're put into the head of a stalker who seems to be a hair's width away from violence. The tension is held well.
But what REALLY made it feel uncomfortable for me was a rather odd choice from the network. Swearing is censored out. There are these conspicuous blanks in the dialogue. It had me obsessing. When you've got a show this dark, who the hell do they think they're going to offend with a little swearing? Are they expecting kids to be up watching it? It's content is far more offensive than swearing could ever be.
Apart from that one VERY annoying point, it's a brilliantly put together show. I'm looking forward to watching more (though I'll probably find myself swearing at the TV about the missing dialogue).

First 3 seasons were great, but season 4?
tripleainto18 February 2023
I found the first three seasons to be very captivating and I was really looking forward to Season 4.
Unfortunately Season 4 (part 1) has been a challenge to get through. I just can't relate in anyway to this friend group he has gotten into so quickly, and not sure how anyone can get attached given their attitudes.
Truthfully this 4th season part 1 is just plain boring as a result. If you end up not really caring for the characters or connecting with them, then what does a show leave you with?
But let's not forget seasons 1-3 (particularly season 1!). That era demonstrated excellent writing, wild plot twists and just an all around excellent viewing experience. 6 out of 10 overall as a result.
Ps. Update - oh boy part 2 of season 4 is even more unfortunate.

"Should I?" or "Shouldn't I?"
nancyldraper21 February 2019
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}
Freaking. Excellent.

great series apart from some careless moves
davish_wulf-130 June 2022
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).

Season 4 is a Bust
TimMath-545-33358023 March 2023
The first two seasons of this show are strong. Season 3 is up and down. Season 4 is almost ridiculous. The problem with this shows is that it takes the story sideways to extend its natural length. Season one and two are fresh and interesting. From then on, you can almost see the writers scratching out ideas and crossing them out to make the show live on. By season 4, the show is a parody of itself, recycling plot points, going into soap opera territory. Terribly disappointing by the end. It's really hard to stop watching a show after you've invested so much time into it. Naturally, you want to see how it ends. This show ended long before it died a dismal death.
Used to love it
dourpussdora27 March 2023
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!.

Season 2 is quite good
miriklein200327 December 2019
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!

Season 4 has ended it for me
SuzsuzQ16 March 2023
Sadly, I feel each season was not quite as good as the one before with this series. Season one - absolutely LOVED it. The story; the characters; the acting.
Season two was very good as well. For me, not quite up to the first, but still incredibly enjoyable to watch.
I feel that I sort of forced my way through season three because at that point I felt pretty committed to the show. I certainly didn't hate it, but it was not even close to season one as far as enjoyability.
So then comes season four. I couldn't even make it through the first episode!
I'm not saying I expect total believability from a series such as this, but when I saw that Joe was working as a college professor at a UK university, I totally lost it. I mean, really? Wasn't there any other profession they could have chosen for him? The idea that he would be able to get a job at that level is absolutely ridiculous and downright impossible. Impossible.
And from what I've read, the writers did it purposefully, which makes it even worse. This is from an article I read while researching to make sure I didn't miss the episode where Joe got his PhD, or even his college degree for that matter:
"It turns out that You author Caroline Kepnes and showrunner Sera Gamble have been hoping to put Joe in this setting for quite some time. "We've known for years that we wanted to eventually put him in a university," Gamble told Entertainment Weekly."
I get that Joe got himself a new identity for season four, but again, I can literally guarantee that he would not be able to land a job such as this. Even with a brand new identity.
It's fiction, so of course they can do what they want, but I think this is just plain dumb. And annoying.
I know it probably sounds trivial to some, but it's freaking lazy on the part of the writers. And if that's how lazy they want to be with something so simple, I just don't feel compelled to invest any further time here.
It was good while it lasted for me...

CREEPY BUT EXCELLENT
nicolamcd-2394414 January 2019
Wow.. I loved this! Had no idea what I was getting myself into as I never read the book or heard anything of it. I finished it in 2 sittings. Penn played this part BRILLIANTLY! He convinced me to love him at times yet hate him at others. Honestly couldn't recommend it enough. Each episode something more creepy and messed up happens yet you just need to keep watching!
Season 2 lifted up the series!
cjonesas30 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.

maaz299910 September 2018
I read the novel a year ago. When I heard that they were making a tv show produced by lifetime I was skeptical. But yesterday I saw the pilot of You. All I can say is that the show has my attention. I'm a fan of the book. I loved it. The book is dark and has a comedic shade to it. The TV show is dark but the darkly comedy shade of the book is still missing. Thats just a knit pick though. The show is great. The actors are faithful in portraying the charecters. Pen Bagely as Joe (maybe I mispelles his name lol) but he does a great job. The show requires a lot of monologues and narration as the novel is in first person. But this doesn't bog down the show. Its done pretty nicely. I hope that the show sticks to this level of superb and gets better. I'm amazed and happy.
Season 4 was trash.
dylankildebeck29 March 2023
The first season is by far still the best. The newest season I don't even know where to start. Why add so many characters, it gets too convoluted and no one cares about any of them. Just go back to Joe + 1 girl. We don't need 10 sub plot lines with characters that don't matter. Also don't release the season in two parts again. I forgot the entirety of the plot(s) or who anyone was. I barely pushed through to finish it. Just release the whole season next time. So ya, too many plots in the latest season, too many characters. Just go back to the roots, season 1, 2, 3 were great. No idea who messed up season 4 so bad but they should do some self reflecting on their writing skills.
Season 2
Kethina27 December 2019
Sometimes writers choose to have one or two big twists in a season/plot line that shocks us and changes things entirely, and sometimes they choose to have a bunch of minor twists that go off like small bombs throughout the story. The writers of You have clearly chosen to do both of these things. In some aspects maybe less could have been more for us but in others I was pleasantly surprised by it.
One thing I do know though is that there were at least one too many characters involved this season.
A disappointing start to Joe's new adventure -
FriendlyNeighbourhoodCritic11 February 2023
I was excited for You when I saw the trailers ; turning the show around into a new direction after the same formulaic 3 seasons with different details seemed like an ambitious move that would bring forth a new story to Joe's life but all it has brought is disappointment.
The show reads something like a Lollywood soap opera ; the characters involved in this "whodunit" are entirely uninteresting and it seems as the show has sinked into mediocrity with it's writing. Watching the first / second season of You filled you with a sort of dread and excitement as to what would happen next but now , I just wait for the boring dialogue to finish as fast as possible.
The "whodunit" in itself is also entirely uninteresting ; no effort went into placing any clues around to intrigue the viewer or any sort of brainstorm as to what the motives and obsessions the "Eat The Rich" killer might have.
It seems as if Netflix had their boot down the production of "You" and what emerged as of Season 4 was an unfinished , uninteresting and wholly boring season which seemed rushed with very unrealistic scenarios and characters that you could literally not give a care about. I didn't hate any of the characters and I didn't love them and when they eventually got murdered , the most I could muster up was a "hmm".
This is just the review for Part 1 of Season 4 but this show would need a miracle to become anything more than what it actually is ; a time killer with sex scenes sprinkled in between.

Season 4 is disappointing
nonyiusua-9410312 February 2023
Season 4 (part 1) is riddled with strange dialogue choices, poorly thought out plot lines, and an uninteresting and lazy mystery filled with non sequiturs.
It feels somewhat lazy and rushed, and like it's lacking the more particular voice that it once had. Joe isn't as vile, the side characters aren't as interesting, and I find it hard to care about anything in this season. The characters are either fine, or stupidly cartoonish, and Joe's characterization has been watered down.
He has a new love interest this season, and it's so unclear why he even likes her in the first place. While he tries to solve the mystery he makes conclusions (more like assumptions) that come out of nowhere and are clearly slapped in for the sake of moving the plot along, whether or not they actually make any sense.
Who is Joe? I'm not sure I know anymore. He supposedly has a distain for anti-intellectual modern culture, but he seems to know just as much about it as the average person. He's not out of touch at all like I would expect him to be. His only friends are a bunch of classist socialites who he doesn't even like, or even talk to often it seems, and yet he seems to be a member of their friend group rather quickly even though hardly any of them like him. Why he hangs around in the first place is established far too late. I could be misremembering, but that's what I think.
Characters explain their backstories and motivations in long winded exposition dumps that are done with virtually zero finesse, and are oftentimes just straight boring.
I still liked it, I guess. I really like the show and I like Joe. Without Joe there'd be no reason for me to watch really. But If you're looking for good writing, stay away from season four :(. Was really rooting for You.

Season 4 has ruined this show for us.
katherinnichole16 February 2023
TERRIBLE! Season 4 is so bad. What happened to our beloved, cunning and charismatic show?!
This season is the poorest writing and mostly thanks to incredibly uncharismatic characters! Such a bore and disappointment. Penn Badgley is outstanding as always but even he is lost amongst these terrible boring characters that just don't belong on this show. Bad bad bad direction decision.
Season 3. Incredible! Joe and Love = incredible, electric, exciting, creepy, funny, shocking...allll of the things! We didn't love merienne as his love interest, they could cast someone so much better for him. They have zero chemistry, but nothing could have prepared us for even worse characters in season 4! Blah! Bring back the show we knew and loved!

Rate 9 for Season 1-3, Season 4 is the absolute worst and a 3.
ashdsteele9 March 2023
Sad they decided to ruin the show by completely changing everything good about it. The writers really watched Glass Onion and said, "Put Joe in the most unrealistic circumstance in London and give him an entirely different motivation and personality."
Joe meets the richest people in London and after five seconds, they are kissing his ass. He's a complete stranger, a lame English professor with no money, connections, social media or noble background. All of the rich people accept him IMMEDIATELY and he's invited to the best parties, shows and clubs, hell even their homes and business meetings!
This was written for no other reason than to frame the plot conveniently so Joe can get close enough to investigate a murder. Nothing about this feels real and because of this, all dialogue and contrived relationships seem stale and hollow.
What made You seasons 1 through 3 so amazing was the through line of Joe's development and how far he will go to fuel his obsession for a woman. Each season focused on a girl who consumes Joe's entire mind. Joe would risk getting caught A LOT to stalk and carry out all his inappropriate compulsions. An addiction which led him to kill and do horrible things. In Season 4, that entire neurosis goes away as he ignores beautiful women throwing themselves on him in order to follow up on leads and be a hipster Sherlock Holmes. The audience doesn't care about Joe's satirical opinions on the monarchy, fashion and upper society. We already know he thinks everything's pretentious.

Don't waste your time for the third season
rulercute26 November 2021
The first season was quite good, the second was acceptable and the third season should not have existed at all. The story only get worse by the time. I won't change my rate anyway. I sure won't recommend this third season to anyone, whom I love of course.
At first I was hooked but... season 3 is hands down AWFUL
sonjanovak17 October 2021
I'm so disappointed at season 3, it's so bad that it's almost unwatchable. So many plot holes, and stupid character actions, it's just idiotic. I'm almost ashamed to be watching it. Can't wait to finish watching it. It's so hard to watch something THIS BAD after finishing Squid game and The fall.
EDIT: Ok, I jumped to conclusion, I admit. After episode 5 it gets a lot better. First 4 episodes Love what the F?! Like a bad drama gone worse, Love goes around killing, she's beyond irritating. And woke? You're kidding me. F... off already. But after you tough through the first 4 episodes it gets better, I promise.
