4/17/2023 0 Comments You netflix season 1![]() ![]() ![]() Though I love digs at the English as much as the next girl, the way these vapid, uber-wealthy Londoners are written is entirely charmless-not particularly clever with its characterization, nor original. This time around, You sets its sights on satirizing the wealthy young London aristocracy-a significant departure not only in nationality but in tax bracket for the ensemble cast this season. Seasons 1-3 all featured a satirical take on a certain breed of American millennials: New York hipsters/academics in season 1, LA filmmakers in season 2, and yuppie suburbanites in season 3. It’s not as if unlikable characters are a rarity in the You-niverse-quite the opposite. But the mystery You season 4 sets up is a fundamentally uninteresting one, thanks in large part to the fact that every non-Joe character is insufferable. This season, the tables are finally turned on the ever-charming and ever-devious Joe Goldberg, as he becomes the victim of stalking and has to race to uncover the killer’s identity before he finds himself on the chopping block. Try as he might to live a normal, by-the-book life, trouble can’t help but find Joe-he soon finds himself the target of an increasingly disturbing stalker, who’s picking off people around him one-by-one and setting him up to take the fall.Ĭredit where credit is due: Part 1 of season 4 is a pretty gutsy departure for You, especially when they’ve got a formula they know already works. But (as always), things don’t quite go according to plan, and a brokenhearted Joe finds himself with one last chance to start over (for real, this time) in London. In the wake of his tumultuous separation from Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) at the end of season 3, You’s fourth season picks up with Joe heading to Europe in the hopes of finding and reuniting with Marianne, the librarian he fell head-over-heels for in season 3. Where the first three seasons saw Badgley’s Joe infatuated with a particular woman and the ever-complicated ways in which he involved himself in her life, You season 4 breaks from tradition and makes Joe the stalk-ee, placing him at the center of a new London-based mystery.įor season 4, Netflix has opted to split the season for a two-part release, and though Penn Badgley is stellar as always, the first part of You season 4 is the show’s weakest writing yet, thanks to a gaggle of irredeemable caricatures and a repetitive, circular mystery. The Penn Badgley-starring series is heading into a fourth season on Netflix, where it boasts a large and loyal following. ![]() Following the runaway success of its humbling beginnings as a Lifetime original, romance-thriller You is now an undeniable hit. ![]()
