After four deliciously decadent seasons, the subtly brilliant Penn Badgley (his darkly comic voiceover is perfection) hangs it up as a serial killer who’s only dangerous when he’s in love. Given its viral appeal—even Taylor Swift is a fan—this binge-able addiction is way too good for goodbyes.
You Season 4 takes Joe to an unexpected setting and places him in the midst of a murder mystery with a strong new supporting cast, creating an exciting and complex two-part season.

Ritchie is excellent as the cold, biting art dealer – the move away from British sitcoms suits her – while Joe’s uncharacteristic vulnerability gives Badgley’s sinister voice-over a new edge. Both elevate middling material to a level of maturity the story doesn’t always demand, turning what could be one of the most unwatchable series on TV to one of the most gripping.
The show is at its sharpest and best when it gives Joe’s phony attempts at the personal transformation a rest and instead lays bare the injustice, cruelty, and, yes, campiness and dark comedy of the world.
The first five episodes are entertaining but mostly serve as an exposition-heavy launchpad for the second half of season four, which arrives on March 9. Hopefully, those last five eps pay off.
You succeeds in giving the audience the shocks and gore that we’ve come to crave, while Badgley is as compellingly sardonic as ever as the sullen leader of this ensemble cast. ... But that’s not enough when so many of the characters feel like ciphers floating around a hilariously unrealistic depiction of London.
“You” has already wrung an impressive amount of mileage out of its concept, getting the audience to identify with – if not necessarily root for – a suave, murderous stalker. Yet while the fourth season begins in characteristically twisty fashion, before it’s over the Netflix hit feels dangerously close to jumping the shark, having become a bit too cute for its (or Your, if You prefer) own good.
Every season I expect it to be terrible, but it always hooks me. They mix up the seasons just enough to keep it interesting. This was another enjoyable season.

SEASON 4
Just a total **** tbh. It has some good scenes but it's the type of show where if you think about it for more than 5 seconds it has soooooo many plot holes and contrivances. It's like the writers come up with 5 good scenes and then half-arse literally everything else around it.
At this point it's clearly coasting on Penn Badgley's talent and nothing else really.
