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.AI-generated from the text of user reviewsDark tonePerformancePsychological depthThrillingSocial commentaryDerivativeThin storyUneven qualityFeatured reviews7hanisakorvystyYou 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.8nevynhI 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).8nancyldraperThis 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}7ZemaisThe show started to go off the rails after season 2, but it was all still enjoyable due to the consistently amazing performance of Penn Badgley . He is on his A-game again in season 5, but held back by an inconsistent script leading to many out of character moments for Joe. The "always one step ahead" trait of his character is here one episode, then gone the next ,which leads into the events of the final episode where us the viewers can see the twist coming miles before.Season 5 started off with a good premise with a few twists ,that will be predictable to many, but were still entertaining to watch. Around the midpoint it started to lose its footing but came back with a great episode 8 and 9, which should have been the finale. Instead Episode 10 took a different direction with a narrative switch which didn't feel deserved, and multiple retcons that felt cheap. While it doesn't ruin the whole series like other shows final seasons have , it's sad to see it go out on such a low note, with so much wasted potential and storylines still left unfinished. A few series characters are brought back but add virtually nothing to the story and are mostly used as nostalgia bait, contributing to the feeling of this season being rushed. The best way I can summarise season 5 is that it's a good season (with many high points) but a very bad final season, lacking the finality this show deserved.Goodbye, you.8Supermanfan-13You 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!Representation: LGBTQIA+ Characters On-ScreenRepresentation: LGBTQIA+ Characters On-ScreenCelebrate the LGBTQIA+ characters that captured our imaginations in everything from heartfelt dramas to surreal sci-fi stories.See the galleryPhotosMore like this8.6Dexter8.7Black Mirror8.0Squid Game8.1The Walking Dead8.6Stranger Things9.5Breaking Bad5.7Havoc8.3Lost7.6Grey's Anatomy8.7House8.6The Boys8.1Criminal MindsEditDid you knowEditTriviaPenn Badgley almost turned down the role of Joe as he feared that the show would romanticize toxic behavior such as stalking. He was convinced after producers told him that that was the exact reason why he was right for the role- he would approach the show and part in a way that would ensure that Joe is clearly the villain of the story.GoofsAs a lover of books, especially rare/antiques, Joe would know better than to fold back the covers of paperback books.
