It did make me uncomfortable sometimes, but I kept wanting to know more. But that only makes it more interesting: the psychopath is the person you least expect to be. Even his name is kind of boring: Joe, that’s such a plain, random name for such a psychopath. It’s a show through the POV of a psychopath, who wears the face of an angel – kudos to Penn Badgley for such a fantastic performance. And I’ve seen some people saying that the characters in this show are not likeable (which I’m going to object immediately because first of all, Ethan and Blythe are absolutely adorable, and second of all, how can you not like Paco? Or Karen for that matter?), but that’s not really the point of the story. She was messed up in her own ways, but aren’t we all? That doesn’t mean she deserved any of that. She did some not so good things, like cheating. Oh and eventually framing her thereapist for a murder you committed.Īnd yes, Beck was not necessarily a good person. That plan also involves following and stalking her pretty much everywhere she goes, stealing her phone, killing her ex, breaking into her place, stealing her underwear and other personal belongings, reading pretty much all of her texts, more following her, and more killing. So again: Can you not?) And the whole checking-one-out-on-social-media thing is only the slightest part of Joe’s mastermind plan to get Guenivere Beck to be his girlfriend. “Oh she told me her name and her instagram profile is public which means she wants to fuck me, obviously” Please can you not? But I know some people’s minds work like that. Some people do think like Joe, and it’s kind of scary. But as scary as the portrayal of twitter, facebook and the likes of it can be in YOU, that portrayal is also very accurate: they really open the door to anything. I got to say, as obsessed as I am with social media, it’s always a little bit scary to see shows such as YOU. That includes breaking in, stealing her phone, and obviously, killing people because why not. And when he says anything, he really means her. He starts stalking her, stating he “will do anything to protect her”. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, Violence, Substance abuse, Death and moreīasically, YOU is told from the perspective of Joe, your typical bookstore manager who has a meet cute with a customer and develops a crush on her. Truth be told, I read an article about it a few month ago, and I was waiting for Netflix to upload it, because I was really curious about it. I’m sure by now you have probably heard about Netflix’s new show YOU, which was released on the platform at the end of December.
