Season 3 will make or break the show
He was a bookstore owner and she liked books. What more can I say? The Self awareness is what hooked me in the first few episodes. Joe is one step ahead of everyone, even the viewers. When the cops caught him red handed, I was like: Man you’re done for, only to find out that Joe planned wayy ahead.

What makes YOU so interesting is that from Joe's POV, it's a love story, but if it was Beck's, it'd be a thriller. It being framed as a love story, makes you want to root for Joe. However, when Beck uncovered his box of stalker stuff that had her used tampon in it, everything started to unravel, and then it became a horror show for everyone involved.

I don't remember much from Season 1 actually, however, when Joe framed Beck's therapist for her murder, and he visited him in jail, he was like: "yeah I didn't commit the crime, but I'm just chilling. Jail is so cool. And besides I've done some stuff that needs the reflection prison brings." Like Jesus Christ man. Fight. Paco..he just slammed that door on Beck's face. My man. I didn't expect Joe to kill Beck. That shocked me.

Season two was a ⅗ stars. I didn’t like it as much. I feel like Lucky was a pretty cool guy then they made him go batshit crazy and it was so weird to me because that's not Lucky... maybe it was because that whole family is crazy. I don't remember much of that either. Love was a downgrade from Beck. Then we found out that she's crazy like Joe. It was a journey. Deliah didn't deserve to die.. it left Ellie all alone.

Ooh I forgot. One of the better parts if the show: Joe has a soft spot for children. Season 1 brought us his neighbor's kid Paco, who he acted as a mentor for. He did his best to keep Paco away from his abusive household. Season 2 brought us his landlord's sister Ellie. Joe went out his way to protect Ellie from the pedohile who was gonna drug and sexually assault her. Ellie irritated me. Delijah told her that she has been sexually assaulted by said pedo but Ellie decided that her film festival was more important.

Season 3.. if season 3 isn't a 4 star season, I'll bump down the rating . Expeditiously. It has so much potential. For one, Love is preggers. He has a soft spot for children remember. Then there's Ellie and Paco. If they don't show up in season 3, the show will be rated 2 stars. I'm not messing around. Also: Joe has a new love interest!

Love is gonna find out and when she does, she'll kill her for sure. That'll be interesting to watch.

Will have you at the edge of your seat
You know that feeling of eating sour candy and no matter how sour it gets some of us just can't stop bingeing on them. That's the same addictiveness that comes with this show "You." You'll be hooked onto it, no matter how many obvious pit falls are there in its plot. The main charecter who goes by the name Joe Goldberg who owns a bookstore has set the ultimate standard for the quote "I'd do anything for the person I love." He falls in love with an aspiring writer, Guinevere Beck who's life seems to revolve around trying to fit in her so called "tight knit" group of friends and meeting ends just to to be loved back, something she was deprived of growing up. Seems to be a match made in heaven. Well apparently not. They go through all the side effects of being in a relationship. The love making, the "I made your favourite for breakfast today", the clingy stage and ofcourse the "if we don't have trust we have nothing." Moving further into the show, Joe finds out Beck's been cheating on him something he had already faced with his ex Candace. That doesn't stop him from taking her back. Until Beck finds out the "limits" Joe has crossed for their relationship. What happens to Beck? I will leave that for y'all to find out. 

Season 2 opens up with Joe's so called ex girlfriend, Candace who was supposed to be dead, ends up alive on a wild goose chase to make Joe's life a living hell. This ends up having Joe to move from NY to LA where he changes his name to Will Bettelheim, an identity stolen from his prisioner. He swears to never fall in love. Eventually he meets a baker Love Quinn and her brother Forty, who's family apparently is drowning in money. Joe becomes a slave to the irony of her name. His Achilles Heel. But turns out Love Quinn is pretty much ready to cross boundaries to prove her love for Will. With the winding up of Season 2, Love and Joe are ready to start a new chapter of their lives. But that isn't the end to the show, Joe in the ending scene is seen holding on tight to his book "Crime and Punishment" while admiring a young attractive women who's face isn't revealed. His new target. 


One of the few things I didn't enjoy in this show is the personification of Joe's psychopathic behaviour. Which might tend to rub the younger generation in the wrong way. Making them believe Love is nothing without no blood shed and that their Prince Charming will have to be psychopathic.

As far as my opinion is concerned, if you're a fan of thriller romance that leaves traces of dark humor, is a bag full of engima this is your show. Also if you're an avid book reader and possess a keen interest towards authors from different decades, this show will bring back the nostalgia.


Season 3 airs next year (2021). I'll end this on a note  by quoting Love Quinn "We are all broken yet some pieces still manage to fit together."
