You is very, very good. It's been called "bonkers" but you can take that in a good way. Go to Full Review James Donaghy Guardian 01/17/2019
It is smart enough to let us know that to sympathise with Joe is to be complicit in his crimes. Every time you feel you're being drawn in, the show pulls the rug from under you and reminds you that he is not the romantic hero you are looking for. Go to Full Review Anna Leszkiewicz New Statesman 01/08/2019
Its sparklingly cruel sense of humour is what makes it compulsively watchable -- through Joe's sardonic narration, the show displays a rare eagerness to ridicule its own characters. Go to Full Review Sharai Bohannon Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network 11/13/2023
It's a surprisingly addictive little treat. This season is more fun than it has a right to be, and that's the f-word I'm missing from similar shows. Joe Goldberg is the kind of complex villain I love to see. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ 02/16/2023
You is a neat inversion of the usual psychopath and serial killer thriller... Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network 02/11/2023
Badgley does exemplary work both on screen and in voice over as the dangerous milquetoast man of your dreams. The real revelation is how duplicitous everyone else is. Bonus points to Shay Mitchell as complicated queer (semi-villain) Peach Go to Full Review Read all reviews

J H @UpstateNYThriller Aug 10 7.9/10 First Season A+ Then slowly gets woke and bad. Really a shame it got worse and worse. First season and second season were good Joe Goldberg bookstore stalker. Nostalgic See more Qin H @kin1127 Jul 30 I just don’t like the plot it’s crap when I watch until the last episode of s1, not gonna continue watching See more ROFIDA M @RT02507853 May 10 The first session is good, but not my favorite. See more PAULINA M @RT97867021 Apr 23 You is a psychological thriller based on the books by Caroline Kepnes. Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a bookstore owner, meets Beck, an aspiring female writer, who he falls madly in love with, and sets a mission to stalk her to become her lover and live a perfect life together. The crush rapidly becomes an obsession, and he is going as far as needed to get closer to her, even if it involves removing any kind of obstacle. I really liked the fact that the story is narrated by Joe, letting the viewers know what he is thinking and admitting how sick his mind is. This way, we understand the reasons why he was doing what he was, and the way it is presented even makes you root for him. I think this is a very good show with interesting characters that will keep you hooked for a while. See more Abed D @Abeddani Apr 15 I remember it was a shocking series that I couldn't stop watching until the end. See more Sakshi K @RT92460920 Mar 21 a very fine piece of writing by the author made me too concentrated in the whole web series but the netflix ruined by the end of this show by giving moral lessons See more Read all reviews
