    This season is a complete **** show, it is very expected and cheesy. Should not even be renewed for another season. I could easily predict everything that was going to happen since the beginning.

    Netflix decided to push their woke politics hard, it totally destroyed immersion. Another show sacrificed on the altar of wokeness.

    The echoes of early seasons of Dexter are still evident in You, with the ongoing voiceover narration and our rooting for an obvious sociopath/serial killer. I believe someone actually name checks Dexter in season two. But season three doubles down with Joe marrying and settling down, with child, with his "soulmate" Love.

I believe someone actually name checks Dexter in season two. But season three doubles down with Joe marrying and settling down, with child, with his "soulmate" Love. Whereas Joe tries to control his urges and wants to be the best he can be, especially regarding son Henry, he wants to be the loving father he never had. What parent doesn't want to learn from their own parents mistakes and thereby raise a better version of themselves? He is matched by Love, who is carrying her own parental issues, trying to create the white picket fence suburban life dream. Ah, but Love proves to be just as dangerous as Joe, and their back and forth provides the thread that runs through the season. A definitely binge worthy season.… Expand

    Best character-building, best supporting characters, best humor, the best display of problems in marriage. Best season of all

    An interesting worthwhile third act with highlight performances from Love&Joe. But the aforementioned isn't enough to excuse the bland yellowed cinematography or the cyclical storylines.

But the aforementioned isn't enough to excuse the bland yellowed cinematography or the cyclical storylines. All deaths felt predictable and unnecessary. The urgency of the 1st 2 seasons where it would feel difficult watching a good character trapped in their glass cage is gone. You feel disconnected to their plight. Even the body clean ups are too easy. Gone is the anxiety of a injured Joe pissing in a jar or a frightened joe with a missing finger, nope niw it's just black plastic bags and bad narration's. It's jarring. And the pacing is very heavy handed compared to previous seasons.… Expand

    Still quite a melodramatic watch but I won't deny that You does just enough in the end to make the conclusion feel good. Basically, the writing and plot is good on a macro level but poor in terms of belieavability in specific scenes. The acting remains good although I'm not such a huge fan of the performances in the flashbacks.

    Would give this season a 7.5. Some interesting twist and turns but a lot of give me a break type moments as well. It isn't as good as the first season was, but it isn't the worst thing out right now. If you liked the earlier seasons then check it out. If you felt kinda meh about earlier seasons then I don't think this season is going to change your mind.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed you season 1 so much that I ranked it in top 5 of all time. But season 3 couldn't live up to my expectations. How difficult are they trying to describe a marriage life is gonna be? it just looks like a hopeless case as of now.… Expand

    The final three episodes make this season worth it, but we spend a lot of time going in circles for this season. Characters love each other and then don't and then do...you realize a lot of the writing is paper thin. That said, it's fun and interesting at the end. We need a new formula for season 4.

    Throw in more revelations about Joe’s childhood, a side storyline (that we won’t reveal here) that could have been copied from recent newspaper headlines, and this season of You quickly becomes a binge-watching treat.

    Spectacular third season. ... At its best—that is, much of the time when it isn’t needlessly flashing back to Joe’s generically awful childhood—the show does more than simply flatter its pop-culture-savvy audience. It challenges us, too.

    Fun to watch. ... Even though it goes too far with its secret rooms and hostage situations, it makes you want others to be kept in the dark. “You” started with a bang and, thankfully, it’s still firing solid kill shots.
