    4/10 as a crime drama, but as a trashy romantic dark fantasy, it is 10/10. You might have trouble with suspension of disbelief if you're intelligent enough to balk at every single crime-scene and mcguffin because they're so far removed from the real world. I suggest just dumbing yourself down and enjoy this psychological porn.

I suggest just dumbing yourself down and enjoy this psychological porn. If you do, then you can better enjoy what this season excels over the first. Saucy exposition, out-of-control passion, eccentrically egocentric character tropes, compromising humor, improbable love and twists that day time soap would be proud of.… Expand

    I cannot believe season 2 could top the delectable thriller that was season one. The writers superbly utilize similar narratives of season 1 to subvert your expectations, with wonderful execution and timing. With the manner that these characters grow, and how our moral judgement of them frantically spin from good to downright evil, there is not a chance you stop watching this season untilI cannot believe season 2 could top the delectable thriller that was season one. The writers superbly utilize similar narratives of season 1 to subvert your expectations, with wonderful execution and timing. With the manner that these characters grow, and how our moral judgement of them frantically spin from good to downright evil, there is not a chance you stop watching this season until the very last episode. Kudos to the author for incredible source material, and to the entire team that transformed it into a darkly funny, satirical, and absolutely dramatic tv show. Just wow.… Expand

    I adored the first season, and this one was really great too with more of a focus on romantic dark crime. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

    It's sophomore season is it's most comfortable. Channelling so much of early season "Dexter". Grown into it's humour and black comedy. The stakes are at their highest and the phenomenal conclusive plotwist is just good television.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Still remains a pretty good show although I'm not sure how much of a fan I am of what feels like an increased level of melodrama in this season. Penn Badgley remains a standout performer in this his crazy eyes and forehead vein popping are ridiculous. It really gives the sense of the unhingeness of Joe. Love being equally as psychotic as Joe does kinda detract from his character a bit but I guess they have done it now so will be interetsing to see what they build from here.

    I will say that if this show doesn't end up with Joe and Love being caught I will be v. annoyed. Delilah and Candace deserve that retribution as I am lowkey mad about how their character arcs ended although I concede that that is kinda the point lol    … Expand

    By the bloody end, with twists I promise you won't see coming, Joe has a new appreciation for the insanity of this thing called love. [6-19 Jan 2020, p.9]

    Rivetingly told and well acted, YOU manages to make a viscerally unlikable protagonist endlessly interesting. That is no small achievement.

    In some respects, You just feels like one of the CW shows that Berlanti produces -- just really sharply executed, with a densely serialized edge.
