You

The third season of You is literally about love that someone would kill for, or what happens when two unstable psychopaths move to a quiet suburb. I was a bit skeptical whether this season would have anything to offer, but in the end it was pretty good, and it's definitely one of those series that you'll have no problem finishing in one day and that doesn't lose your attention in a single episode. The first half is excellent, but the next two episodes are speed-bumps and I was worried the series would slip into a stereotype dealing only with sex, arguments and the leading couple's relationship, but right after that, thankfully, came the final climax, which disregarded almost no one and skillfully underlined the craziness of the main couple. The body-count was decent, the story engaging and entertaining, and the ending unexpected – perhaps the only thing that didn't sit right with me was the Marianne line, but otherwise I'm more than satisfied. I'm interested to see what the next season brings, hopefully it won’t be recycling the same thing over and over again. (17.10.2021)

Season 4 of You is a perfect example of how you can bury an incredibly promising series, one that in the previous three seasons gave conventional series a good kicking in the ass, kept a constant pace, suspense, very entertaining characters and a big dose of surprises, twists and cliffhangers. But with the start of the fourth season, everything changes and the original intention of You turns 180 degrees and goes in a diametrically different direction than it should and than we all expect and want. In the first half, Joe has taken to the Agatha Christie whodunits and solves murder mysteries, and in the second half, the whole thing goes to shit and ends in the worst, least engaging and most truncated way. Devoid of invention, devoid of fun, and in contrast to the dozens of hours of the series before it, this ending is like a punch in the gut that doesn't fit at all and feels like it was cut from a completely different thing. A sad, boring and degrading ending. It takes a hell of a lot of talent to leave such a bitter taste in the mouth after three seasons of the top series in recent years and ruin the efforts of the last five years... (13.03.2023)
