You: Du wirst mich lieben

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).

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!

I actually think it's a good series. No, of course it's not the best thing ever, but it's very enjoyable.

The series is about a man named Joe, who stalks women and does everything to protect them. He is also the narrator, so that way we understand why he does the things he does and what he thinks while doing it. We keep getting deeper and deeper into his mind, which is very interesting. That's my favorite part about it, because it becomes clear that he tries to justify every action by making himself believe that it was for a good reason and he really tries to get better. It does make you have sympathy for him, which is not good of course since he's the bad guy. His thoughts can also be funny and sometimes I even agree with him. I actually relate to him (not with the stalking and killing of course, but with personality and the way he sees things) and that's kinda scary, but aside from that it's really good.

You also get flashbacks from his youth which slowly make clear why he gets so obsessed with certain women and what's his pattern. At first I thought the second season would be the exact same but with a different women, but that actually wasn't the case. There's a whole new storyline and a major plot twist!

Sometimes the side characters are a little bit exaggerated, but they're still relatable and kinda funny.

Most of the acting is not bad either, only Sherry is just too much.

I'd definitely recommend it! It has murder and romance, what else do you want?

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}

The 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.
