You'll probably really enjoy this series if you like mystery, ambiguity, and a touch of sci-fi. Personally, I love this genre too, which is, of course, why I started watching.
It starts off very promising, keeping you on the edge of your seat. The storytelling is detailed and slow-paced, allowing you to experience the mystery alongside the main characters. This results in plenty of cliffhangers, making it highly addictive to keep watching.
Season 1 does this exceptionally well. Season 2, on the other hand, starts to feel more like a slow burn rather than an exciting mystery. At a certain point, you begin to wonder if the writers even have the answers to the mystery themselves. And once that thought creeps in, you start noticing plot holes, which takes away some of the intrigue. The story becomes more strange than truly satisfying.
If you enjoy dark humor, this series will also be right up your alley. It has a specific kind of humor that not everyone will appreciate, but if dark humor is your thing, you'll probably love it.
One small thing that personally bothered me-though I understand this might not be an issue for everyone-is how unrealistic the romantic pairings are. Almost every male character, regardless of looks, ends up with a more attractive woman than that they are. I don't want to sound shallow, but it's so unrealistic that it became a bit annoying. One or two instances would be fine, but when it happens across the board, it starts to feel forced. Of course, this is just a minor annoyance, but if you're the type to notice these things, you might feel the same way.

I think many women can relate to the main character. As a woman myself, some scenes really triggered me-in both good and bad ways. The good, because the situations and scenes felt incredibly realistic; many of us have likely experienced similar moments in our own lives. The bad, because it makes you angry to see these things happen. But that's also the power of the show-it highlights how many of these situations are simply not okay, and I think it should be a real eye-opener for everyone.
What makes the series so compelling is how it fully immerses you in the story. It shows how quickly 'victim blaming' happens and how even the victim starts doubting their own experiences. I think it's a must-watch.

I really liked the first two season of You. Season 1 of course the best of them all. Season 2 took the vibes from season 1 further. The show had the same depth and humor to it.
Season 3 got all weird for me. It was too much and all over the place. Wasn't memorable for me, I even forgot that I watched season 3. I thought that I quited half part, but when season 4 came out I realised I watched the whole thing. Memory unlocked.
Now I am at episode 2 of season 4 and get kind of angry. TikTok is already full of You for marketing. Thats ok if you want to target Gen Z to watch You. But; when I started to watch he already mentioned Gen Z 3 times. Just to be funny or target this audience. I just feels so off and weird. Like, Netflix wants to keep our subscribtion or something through You, because they are making their subsctribtion more strict. It feels really out of character for Joe to mention Gen Z so many times. I feel like he was a character who is obsessed with people and not generations.
I don't know, it got me really irritated and can't watch it objectivily now.
