US: You (Netflix TV Series)

izzop · 29 Dec 2018 at 15:16

Whilst trying finding something new to watch on Netflix 'You' kept appearing when I logged in so ended up watching the pilot. That was Thursday and I'm now 5 episodes down and needless to say hooked and will very likely binge the remaining episodes of Season 1 whilst on a night shift tonight.

Anyone else watching, watched or given it a go?

You (TV Series 2018- ) - IMDb

A clever bookstore manager relies on his savvy Internet know-how to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him.

Critics Consensus: You pairs thrilling drama with trashy fun to create an addictive social media horror story that works its way under the skin -- and stays there.

Starring: Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail, Luca Padovan

Got up to episode 6 so far loving the twists and turns in it, plus the main characters thoughts as voiceovers similar to Dexter really add to it.

Actually for the producers of Arrow, Flash & Riverdale its quite a breath of fresh air with more adult content in it.

Tidelands on Netflix is worth watching too, watched all eight episodes over the Christmas break

Cheers all

Finished the season last night and looking forward to the second. You're still in for a good few twists and turns!!

Is this corny fun and light hearted, black comedy, a dark thriller targeted at adults, or a mixture thereof?

roman59 · 30 Dec 2018 at 19:02

Judging by what I have seen so far it is for adults, not corny at all reminds me at times of Dexter as a you hear the main characters thoughts out loud.

Cheers all

Can this be moved to the main TV section, as its airing in this country, and we will just end up with another thread

Surprisingly well written, good twists, good ending, I liked it.

Kept me interested throughout but there were a few moments where you think he wouldn't just get away with something that easily.

Haze · 3 Jan 2019 at 09:08

This was much better than I expected, after watching the trailer and reading the synopsis on Netflix, it looked a bit rubbish, but will continue watching when I get home

just watched the pilot and thought it was good shall continue

An interesting show, can see why netflix are hyping it a little.

True on the above points, some bits are silly and you would never get away with any of it tbf. They made this show clearly for adults but no nudity at all which was surprising.

This show could easily be a dexter spin off series tbh its pretty much cloned its style and main concept, accept he does it all for love.

Looking forward to season 2 if it gets green lit.

Season 2 is confirmed btw

Couldn't see when its due mind

season 3 confirmed

Sounds a bit similar to his character in Gossip Girl, trying to worm his way into a crowd/social settting, just written better and darker

Season 3 release October 15th.

enjoyed the first two so fingers crossed.

Season 3 was good. Looks like season 4 is greenlit of You!

Quoting 3 years on. I watched the first episode and not sure where to start. Not for me.

Must be missing something but the first episode seems like a series my 16 year old nephew would watch.

Cant wait!!

BUDFORCE · 9 Jan 2023 at 22:25

I really like this one of the better ones on Netflix. Will be watching season 4 for sure.

Also the girl who plays Love Quinn is "drop dead" gorgeous (hur hur).

But seriously though she is really fit in my opinion.

BUDFORCE · 21 Feb 2023 at 19:25

Watched the first few, honestly not grabbing me as much as particularly season 3 but in general. Still enjoying it though.
