You: Season 1 - TV Reviews (2024)

It's a surprisingly addictive little treat. This season is more fun than it has a right to be, and that's the f-word I'm missing from similar shows. Joe Goldberg is the kind of complex villain I love to see.

You is a neat inversion of the usual psychopath and serial killer thriller...

Badgley does exemplary work both on screen and in voice over as the dangerous milquetoast man of your dreams. The real revelation is how duplicitous everyone else is. Bonus points to Shay Mitchell as complicated queer (semi-villain) Peach

The series excels at playing with and subverting audience expectations by blending the horrors of thrillers with rom-com beats to create an wildly addictive - and sometimes uncomfortable - watch.

The show subliminally questions our stance on the fine line between what we consider affection and infatuation. It exposes our information vulnerability...

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 18, 2020

The lit-world setting makes the story actually funny, and the satire deeply savage.

Full Review | Jan 30, 2020

Addictive yes, but it definitely comes from the type of trashy thriller you would consume in one day by a pool somewhere.

You's hook is interesting, but it falls apart at times. [Full review in Spanish]

A very addictive thriller that will undoubtedly give us a sinister view of these parties and, at the same time, makes us question whether we have ever been Joe. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2019

It is pulpy and trashy enough to make it easy to watch despite some eye-rolling plot developments, but with just enough satire - about social media and modern romance - to prod the binge viewers into some reflection.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2019

The show is both unsettlingly creepy and riveting television.

Full Review | Feb 1, 2019

You is very, very good. It's been called "bonkers" but you can take that in a good way.

Full Review | Jan 31, 2019

You begins as a CW-like young adult drama, but it quickly evolves into a disturbing profile of a psychopath in the digital age, one who uses social media to aid his stalking.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 31, 2019

I was not prepared for how funny it was.

Full Review | Jan 31, 2019

This is the anti-Fifty Shades of Gray... It made me feel repulsed. I loved it.

Ultimately, a spotter's guide for overly persistent, clammy-handed Nice Guys.

The performances are great and transmit to perfection. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Jan 24, 2019

The plot isn't entirely secure, or even believable, and yet, before you can complain about, say, why Guinevere is such a constitutionally bad judge of character, you're nine episodes in, on the edge of your seat.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 23, 2019

It is smart enough to let us know that to sympathise with Joe is to be complicit in his crimes. Every time you feel you're being drawn in, the show pulls the rug from under you and reminds you that he is not the romantic hero you are looking for.

Full Review | Jan 17, 2019

Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble's You is a gripping, grueling plunge into the dangers of modern dating and the accommodation our culture makes for men of a certain privilege.
