    YOU has an intriguing premise, though it will certainly not be everyone’s cup of tea. Through five episodes, though, it’s a slick ride so far.

It might seem like one in the first few episodes, but then it becomes an addiction drama while also trying to be a soap and then a rom-com all the while offering nothing to help the viewer understand Penn Badgley's Joe, a completely baffling character.… Full Review »
