You is an American psychological thriller television series developed by Greg

Berlanti and Sera Gamble. Produced by Warner Horizon Television, in association
with Alloy Entertainment and A&E Studios, the first season is based on the 2014
novel by Caroline Kepnes and follows Joe Goldberg, a New York bookstore manager
and serial killer who falls in love with a customer named Guinevere Beck and quickly
develops an extreme, toxic, and delusional obsession. The second season follows Joe
as he moves to Los Angeles and falls in love with local heiress Love Quinn. The first
season, which was released in 2018, stars Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail, Luca
Padovan, Zach Cherry, and Shay Mitchell. For the second season, Ambyr Childers was
upgraded to a series regular, joining newly cast Victoria Pedretti, James Scully, Jenna
Ortega, and Carmela Zumbado.
The series premiered on Lifetime on September 9, 2018, in the United States
and streaming on Netflix internationally on December 26, 2018. The series attracted a
limited audience on Lifetime before becoming more popular and a critical success for
Netflix, with over 43 million viewers having streamed the first season after its debut on
the streaming service.[3][4] Lifetime announced that You had been renewed for a second
season based on Kepnes' follow-up novel Hidden Bodies, on July 26, 2018, ahead of
the series premiere. In December 2018, it was announced that the series would move to
Netflix as a Netflix Original title. The second season was released exclusively on Netflix
on December 26, 2019.[5] In January 2020, the series was renewed for a third season by
Netflix, which is set to be released in 2021, with Badgley and Pedretti both reprising
their roles.[6][7]

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In February 2015, it was announced that Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble would develop
a series based on Caroline Kepnes' book: You with Berlanti and Gamble as the
scriptwriters, and Berlanti as the pilot director.[43] Initially, Berlanti and Gamble pitched
the show to Showtime but were unsuccessful in their attempts.[44] In addition, both
creators had also originally pitched the series to Netflix but were declined twice, prior to
Netflix's head of international non-English originals, Bela Bajaria joining the company in
late 2016.[45][46][3] Berlanti recounted his experience of pitching the show to Netflix in an
interview with Entertainment Weekly, stating that You "felt like more of a binge show".
He further added that his team "tried initially to sell it to Netflix at the very beginning and
[Netflix's chief content officer] Ted Sarandos has said as much that they wish they'd
gotten it the first time".[47]
In January 2017, it was announced that the series had been purchased by Lifetime and
put into fast-track development.[48] In April 2017, Lifetime gave You a 10-episode
straight-to-series order.[49] On July 26, 2018, ahead of the series premiere, Lifetime
announced that the series had been renewed for a second season.[50][51]
In November 2018, Gamble confirmed that like Hidden Bodies, the sequel novel to You,
the setting of the series would move to Los Angeles for the second season. [52][53][54][55] On
December 3, 2018, it was confirmed that Lifetime had rescinded its renewal of the
series and that Netflix had picked up You ahead of the release of the second season.[56]
[57]
 On January 14, 2020, Netflix renewed the series for a 10-episode third season.[6][7]
In March 2019, Berlanti discussed the challenges of finding the right platform for the
series in a panel interview. Speaking at the INTV conference, he stated that "we pitched
[You] and sold it to Showtime of all places, but…once they read the script, they were
really cool about saying, 'You can take it somewhere else'...". After being turned down
by the network, he later pitched the show to Lifetime, who "wanted to make it, and we
shot it, and because of their launch cycle it sat in the can for a while for two-and-a-half
years. Then they finally started to release it, and it didn't do very well." Although,
Lifetime reneged on their initial renewal offer for a second season in late 2018, Berlanti
recalled that he went to the offices of the network executives to plead them to change
their mind, asking "I still think it's going to work, I still think it's going to work – maybe
one more episode, maybe if people have a chance to see five more episodes." Later, he
was relieved by the news of Netflix's guarantee of committing to a second season after
Lifetime canceled the series.[58]
Following Netflix's reportings on the considerable success that You obtained after it was
made available to stream on their platform service, Penn Badgley wrote in an email
response to The Washington Post that "We're grateful to Lifetime for being the gateway
to getting the show made. We wouldn't have been able to make the show without them,
as far as I can tell. There is no sense of bewilderment that the show had one reaction
while it was on Lifetime and another when it went to Netflix. The difference in viewership
is obvious, and it's indicative of so many different things, not the least of which is the
way young people consume media."[59]
Casting[edit]
Penn Badgley plays series lead Joe Goldberg

Penn Badgley was cast as lead character Joe Goldberg in June 2017. [8] Elizabeth Lail's
casting as Guinevere Beck was announced in July 2017, [9] as well as Luca Padovan as
Joe's neighbor Paco, and Zach Cherry as Ethan, a bookstore clerk who works with Joe.
[9]
 Shay Mitchell was cast as Peach Salinger, Beck's wealthy best friend, in August 2017.
[11]

In September 2017, Hari Nef was cast in the recurring role as Blythe, a talented and

On January 30, 2019, it was announced that Victoria Pedretti had been cast in the main
role of Love Quinn for the second season. [12][13] Pedretti had originally auditioned for the
role of Guinevere Beck prior to the filming of the first season in 2017. [62] Though the part
later went to Lail, Pedretti was cast in the following season after the showrunners saw
the actress' performance in Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House and the casting
directors liked her chemistry with Badgley.[13][62][63] On January 31, 2019, James Scully was
cast in a main role as Forty Quinn, Love's brother, and Jenna Ortega was also cast in a
main role as Ellie Alves.[14]
On February 1, 2019, Deadline Hollywood reported that Ambyr Childers had been
promoted to a series regular role, ahead of the premiere of the second season. [17] On
February 6, 2019, Adwin Brown was cast in the recurring role of Calvin on the second
season.[23][64][65] On February 15, 2019, Robin Lord Taylor was cast in the recurring role of
Will on the second season.[24] On February 21, 2019, Carmela Zumbado was cast in the
series regular role of Delilah Alves on the second season. [18] On March 4, 2019, it was
reported that Marielle Scott has been cast in the recurring role of Lucy on the second
season.[25] On March 5, 2019, Chris D'Elia was cast in the recurring role of Henderson on
the second season.[26] On March 26, 2019, Charlie Barnett was cast in the recurring role
of Gabe on the second season.[27][66][67] On April 4, 2019, Melanie Field and Magda
Apanowicz were cast in recurring roles as Sunrise and Sandy, respectively. [28] On June
4, 2019, Danny Vasquez had been cast in a recurring role. [29] On June 24, 2019, it was
confirmed that John Stamos would reprise his role as Dr. Nicky in the second season.
  On October 17, 2019, Elizabeth Lail confirmed in a Build Series interview that she
[22]

would reprise her role as Guinevere Beck in a guest appearance on the second season.
[68][69]

In October 2020, Travis Van Winkle and Shalita Grant were cast as series regulars

while Scott Speedman was cast in a recurring role for the third season. [70][71] In November
2020, it was announced that Saffron Burrows was upped to regular status after
recurring in the second season. Additionally, Tati Gabrielle and Dylan Arnold were also
casted as series regulars for the third season, with Michaela McManus, Shannon Chan-
Kent, Ben Mehl, Christopher O'Shea, Christopher Sean, Bryan Safi, Mackenzie
Astin, Ayelet Zurer, Jack Fisher, and Mauricio Lara added as recurring cast members.
[72]
 On January 25, 2021, Scott Michael Foster joined the cast in a recurring role for the
third season.[73]
Filming[edit]
The first season of You was filmed in New York City[1] and filming concluded on
December 19, 2017.[74] For the second season, the series relocated its production
to California to take advantage of tax incentives provided by the California Film
Commission under its "Program 2.0" initiative.[2] Filming for the second season took
place on location in Los Angeles, California, from February 2019 to June 2019.[75][76][77]
For the third season, the series was awarded $7.2 million in tax credits by the state of
California.[78] Filming for the third season began on November 2, 2020, and was originally
scheduled to conclude in April 2021.[79][80][81] On December 31, 2020, production of the
third season was paused for two weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it later
resumed on January 18, 2021.[82]
Technical aspects[edit]
Lee Toland Krieger and David Lanzenberg were both credited as the director and
cinematographer for the first two episodes, respectively. Since then, the series has had
a number of cinematographers and directors. Krieger and Lanzenberg were inspired by
the works of cinematographer Darius Khondji in films such as Woody Allen's Midnight in
Paris and David Fincher's Seven.
As part of creating the striking look for the series, they executed various dolly shots and
used anamorphic lenses to evoke a level of surrealistic voyeurism, demanding from the
viewer their participation in the romantic manifestations of Joe's worldview. Krieger
asserted that in order to sell Joe's character to the audience, he needed to
craft You with a certain visual look and mood, slightly different, unconventional and
accented than the standard color palette and tone for contemporary thrillers. He stated
that "I wanted something that felt like a great New York love story, just with a very
disturbed protagonist", adding that "The show opens with these luscious slow-motion
shots. There's that amber glow. It doesn't feel like a thriller." [83]
For the second season, the setting change from New York to Los Angeles, entailed a
distinctive use of saturated hues and colorful warm lighting, in part to contrast and
depict an alteration of Joe's perspective of a new city which he had never visited
previously. It would also signal a period in which Joe could find an avenue for
encountering newer opportunities for a fresh start. In a Variety interview with the lead
showrunner, Gamble noted the change, stating that "If you went straight from Season 1
to Season 2, you'll notice the sun-drenched color palette. There's something creamier
about the light in L.A. than Season 1." [84]

Release[edit]
The official trailer for You was released on April 10, 2018, by Lifetime. [85] You premiered
on Lifetime in the United States on September 9, 2018. [86] In May 2018, it was
announced that Netflix acquired the exclusive international broadcast rights to You,
making it available as an original series on the platform.[87][88] On December 3, 2018, it
was announced that Lifetime had passed on the second season, and that the series
would move to Netflix as a global Netflix Original series. [89][90] The first season became
available to stream instantly on Netflix worldwide on December 26, 2018. [91] On
December 5, 2019, a teaser trailer for the second season was released by Netflix. [92] On
December 16, 2019, the official trailer for the second season was released. [93] The
second season was released on December 26, 2019. [5]
Marketing[edit]
Teasing the original premiere on Lifetime on September 9, 2018, the main cast, Penn
Badgley, Elizabeth Lail and Shay Mitchell, as well as the show creator, Sera Gamble,
and author of the original book, Caroline Kepnes, sat down with Build Series, a
YouTube talk show meant to promote new buzzworthy shows and movies. [94]
Prior to the show's premiere, Badgley mentioned his disinterest in playing the character
of Joe Goldberg in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying that "I didn't want to
do it — it was too much. I was conflicted with the nature of the role. If this is a love story,
what is it saying? It's not an average show; it's a social experiment." However, he was
strongly convinced by the script and the social commentary around the series, adding
that "what was key in me wanting to jump on board were my conversations with Greg
Berlanti and Sera Gamble, the creators, and understanding Joe's humanity. I knew that
I would be conflicted about the role from day one till the last day, and that is why they
thought I would be good for it, is that I'm not psyched to play somebody of this
nature."[95] Relaying similar thoughts in an interview with GQ, Badgley again raised his
concerns of portraying Joe, noting that he was first apprehensive at the role but later,
changed his mind, expressing that "no one in any position of authority could ever try to
act as though we don't know that sex and murder sells, but how can it work in a different
way we've not seen? That's where I think this show does something that none of us
could have said for certain that we would nail. It could have been really irresponsible. It
could have fallen flat and been like, whoa." [96] In another interview at The Contenders
Emmys 2019 panel, Badgley mentioned that his character was "the hero of his own
story...every serial killer is" but added that Joe is "ultimately, the word that's coming to
mind is un-saveable". The actor highlighted that though, there is an apparent affinity to
Joe's character, it is somewhat of a "Rorschach test of a kind for us," adding that "we're
failing. . ."[97] In an interview with TheWrap, Badgley was asked about whether his
approach to portraying Joe over the course of the second season had shifted from the
previous season. Badgley stated in response that playing Joe was still an "isolating"
experience, but admitted that he was surprised by "how deep of a metaphor we're
working with this guy". Nonetheless, he stressed that the incredible range of responses
from audiences that followed from portraying "such a damaged, traumatized person",
who is "awful and blind and abusive", allowed for "more meaningful conversations about
the themes that the show is working" to be discussed in the public sphere. [98]
Various critics gave praise to the series, by complimenting its eerie tone and terrifying
approach to the themes of violence and stalking, reminiscent of contemporary thriller
films and series like Dexter, Gone Girl and American Psycho. Certain reviewers
highlight that You provides an alluring but, disturbing insight into the mind and profile of
a psychopath, who charmingly manipulates his way through his anti-hero charisma,
motives and warped sense of morality, in order to convince the audience "to sympathize
with a stalker" and "serial killer".[99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111]
The marketing for the series used the buzz around the #MeToo Movement to gain
attention to the start of the show. You has been said to have been "tailor-made for the
#MeToo Era."[112] One of the show creators, Sera Gamble, commented on this era by
highlighting that in contemporary culture, attention is almost unanimously given to the
perspective of the male and his story, so naturally he is positioned through the lens of a
hero. She states "We're focused on their story, their triumph, their downfall, their
redemption arc...So I doubt the show will single handedly change the way we think
about dudes and our culture, but I'm happy to be part of the conversation." [112]
Cultural influence[edit]
You gained a dedicated following soon after its release on Netflix. [113] Once the first
season became available to stream worldwide on Netflix, the series' popularity
increased dramatically with an estimated 40 million people having viewed it, in its first
month on the streaming platform,[4][114] dwarfing its viewership from Lifetime.[115][99] The
series later became the subject of numerous online discussions and debates
surrounding the romanticization of the serial killer and stalker protagonist in question. [116]
[117][118][119]
 According to many reporters and critics, concerns were expressed regarding the
viewers who have positively identified and connected with Penn Badgley's character on
multiple social media platforms, despite the transgressive acts that the protagonist
displayed and committed over the course of the season. [120][121][122] Among the viewers who
took an affinity to Joe was Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown. Brown took to
social media, sharing her initial thoughts in a video by downplaying Joe's questionable
acts but subsequently, changed her position on the matter after watching the entirety of
the first season.[123][124][125]
After Badgley received tweets from various fans and viewers of the series, seemingly
glorifying Joe's violent behaviors in the process, the actor responded in tongue-and-
cheek replies on Twitter and Instagram, by denoting the importance of not romanticizing
the actions of a psychopathic murderer. [126][127] In response to the growing concerns of
viewers romanticizing Joe's vicious behaviors, Elizabeth Lail conveyed her thoughts
surrounding the conversation in an interview with Image. Lail expressed her alarming
concerns on the audience's reactions and impressions initially, but later explained that "I
think we are programmed that way. Myself included. With all the rom-coms and
fairytales we've read, we're programmed to root for the hero at any cost, unfortunately.
And so, my hope is that these women notice that inside themselves; and ask
themselves, 'oh gosh, why do I love this terrible man?' I hope they recognise it as an
unconscious bias (that's inside most of us), and actively work against it." [128]
Victoria Pedretti, the lead actress of the second season responded in a commentary of
the audience's strong alignment to the perspective of the show's protagonist. In an
interview with Variety, Pedretti stated that, though she is aware of the phenomenon
behind the reactions and concerns after the series gained a remarkable following, she
noted that it's fueling the conversation, citing that it "talks about the kind of horrors of
being a young person on the internet today. These kinds of things affect everyone, but
obviously that's what the show is focused on. And I think it's really been a warning sign
to some people; I know people who have changed their passwords and re-maneuvered
their relationship with social media because of the show — really thinking about how
much we're putting our private lives into the hands of the public. And because I think it's
a really smart way to discuss this trope that we've romanticized so much — this idea of
this man that Penn plays. We know these people, and they're really hard to pluck out
because they see themselves, and we see them, as the nice guys." [129]

Themes[edit]

Sera Gamble, co-creator and showrunner of You

You explores the psychodynamic view of erotomania and obsessive love between Joe

and his romantic interests.[130][131] In the process, it examines the prevalence of
maladaptive behaviors in Hollywood romantic comedy films, and how anti-social
behaviors underpin much of the romantic endeavors that Joe undertakes, to the point of
destroying the autonomy and agency of his love interests, by committing criminal acts to
capture their attention and affection.[132][133] In addition, the series further raises questions
on the ethics and potential implications of manipulating circumstances and how the
psychology of stalking, murder and violence is best exemplified by Joe's intrusive and
insidious actions, to manufacture the constructs of an idealized love relationship. [134][135][136]
As the first season of You is situated in modern-day New York City, it explores the
dangers of stalking and social media culture with an emphasis on a lack of digital
privacy.[137][138][139] The author of the novel, Caroline Kepnes, explained the darkness of You,
which deconstructs the romantic-comedy tropes highlighted in many films and shows,
by making the protagonist, a violent stalker and serial killer, saying it was written in a
dark period of her life, the year her father died of cancer, and in which she experienced
several other personal challenges.[140] She further stated that her inspiration for the novel
grew out of her moving back to LA. She expressed that when she moved, she noticed
that "suddenly everyone was following each other and being followed, and I always
thought of that as such a negative thing," soon creating Joe in her mind as a very real
possibility of what can happen with that type of access into people's lives. [94] After the
series premiered, Kepnes mentioned in an interview with Emily Baker from iNews, that
she was initially hesitant on labeling Joe, as a few readers argued that his actions,
classified him as a serial killer. The author then, clarified her position on the matter,
citing that "I remember when I wrote You and someone first referred to Joe as a serial
killer. I argued 'he's not a serial killer, he meets these terrible people and has these
awful thoughts, but he's very sensitive'. It's very strange to realise you have written a
serial killer."[141]
Sera Gamble, the showrunner and co-creator of the series, stated in an interview
with Collider, that when envisioning Joe, the main protagonist of the series, she wanted
to delve deeply into the root cause of the pathology of his behavior that shaped his
amoral position to justify and rationalize stalking, kidnapping and killing his victims.
When she was writing the character, she stated that "I want to understand what coaxes
behavior of this nature out of that very tiny percentage of men. I like to think it's a very
tiny percentage of men who would cross a line like the line that Joe Goldberg crosses".
[142]

In an interview at The Contenders Emmys 2019 panel, Gamble highlighted the

importance of casting the right person to play the role of Joe Goldberg. She stated that
"it had to be a love story and a horror movie in every single scene", further adding that if
they "cast someone who was sort of creepy, then the story wouldn't work; the idea is
that it's a lead in a romantic comedy who works in a bookstore and a woman walks in,
they have a cute meet and fall in love and live happily ever after. That's the
show."[143] Expanding on her commentary on the show's themes and origin, Gamble
stated at The Hollywood Reporter's roundtable interview, that she was not surprised to
hear an overwhelming reception to Joe's character amongst online fans and viewers,
citing that "There's a very vocal contingent of fans of Caroline Kepnes' book [on which
You is based] who were like, "I heart Joe." Essentially what she's done is taken the
classic romantic hero and just peeled back the gloss and sheen and John Cusack with
the boombox and she followed it to its logical conclusion. I mean, if you turn off the
sappy music and turn on a David Fincher score, romantic comedies are stalker movies.
The plot of pretty much every one I can think of — and we have watched all of them
many times in the writers room — is contingent on the guy ... well, first of all, he has to
do a certain amount of fucking up so she can forgive him. And he has to get over some
of her shortcomings. I mean, that's love, right? But also, he's chasing her through a
fucking airport, chasing her on a freeway, watching her sleep because he feels
protective. Romantic comedy behavior in real life is criminal! And that was basically the
starting place for the show."[144]
After the series was acquired by Netflix, Gamble noted in several interviews on the
changes that would occur in the following season. In an interview with New Musical
Express, Gamble highlighted that an exploration of Joe's descent in future storylines will
further necessitate a focus on underlying issues that inform his skewed worldview. She
later added that "We're interested in exploring the character and we're well aware that
what the character is doing is not ok – it's deeply, deeply problematic. So what's
interesting to us is: what does he think he's done wrong, what does he think he has to
do differently, and to really explore that while still keeping that clinical cold eye on the
whole show. And that eye is on a show that's about a guy who kills people." [75] Given the
hands off approach that Netflix is known for, Gamble added in an interview with The
New York Times that the second season will be different, explaining that "Certain things
are changing in the way we are thinking about Season 2 of You. We have a little more
flexibility around timing, since we don't have commercial ads, and also we can say the
word [expletive] a lot more. As someone who swears a lot, that's a great thing. Netflix
lets you give as many [expletive] as you want." [145] In an interview with LadBible, Gamble
declared that the team's approach to writing the second season would necessitate a
change in the formula, noting that "We knew that it wouldn't be possible to repeat it as
the audience is very much onto Joe now and will see through him". Furthermore, she
highlighted that the second season will be "gorier and scarier than anything we had in
season one."[146]
Due to narrative changes, the second season would necessitate a shift in setting to Los
Angeles from the prior season. As a result, Gamble noted in an interview
with Entertainment Weekly that the season will have a different feeling, citing that "Los
Angeles is full of people who are really trying to live their best life and self-actualize,"
and that "When you put somebody who needs a lot of healing into a city that advertises
itself basically as this Mecca full of cutting-edge healers, the alchemy is a little
unexpected for him." She further added, that there will be more deviations in the
ongoing story compared to Kepnes' sequel novel Hidden Bodies but stressed that some
plot elements will still be adapted in the second season. [147] Speaking in an interview
with Vogue, the showrunner explained that the second season, offered an opportunity
for the writers to satirize and dig beneath the Hollywood scene, influencer
lifestyle and wellness culture that permeates the surface of Los Angeles. [148][149] Though,
Gamble mentioned that it was imperative to balance the pokes at L.A. culture by
representing a different side to the city, citing that "I think when you squint at it from far
away, it seems like a city that's sprung up around the entertainment business which is
technically true to a certain extent, but a lot of the portrayal of LA that people have seen
in stuff like Entourage... and what you see in tabloids, where you think it's all famous
people running around to their plastic surgeon and in BMWs, and that's actually a very
small slice of a city that's this vast patchwork of neighbourhoods. We're all very lucky
that Hollywood is here because it's paying our bills... the reach of Hollywood is vast...
but people have much fuller, deeper more expansive lives than that, once you're
here."[150] In an interview with Boston Herald, Gamble stated that "Joe will always have
biting thoughts about other people," further highlighting that "so it's fun to drop him into
an environment that gives him a lot of fodder. He had judgments about the crowd in
New York, and he also does about the crowd around him in L.A. And since we [the
show's creative team] all live in Los Angeles, that's a lot of fun for us. We're really
excited to do the other side of the coin." [151]
Reception[edit]
Audience viewership[edit]
On January 17, 2019, Netflix announced that the series was on track to be streamed by
over 40 million viewers within its first month of release on the streaming platform. [152] On
December 13, 2019, Netflix announced over 43 million viewers had completed watching
the whole season since its release on the service. [3] On December 30, 2019, Netflix
issued a number of official lists, including the Most Popular TV Shows of 2019. The
series was among the most viewed in the U.S. market, where You was ranked fifth
among series.[153] On January 21, 2020, Netflix announced that the second season had
been viewed by over 54 million viewers on its service within its first month of release,
referring to viewers who had watched at least 2 minutes of one episode. [154] According to
the year-end summary from Nielsen, You was in the group of top ten most-watched
original series in the U.S. market between December 30, 2019 through December 27,
2020, where it ranked tenth based on minutes watched, with a 10.96 billion total
minutes of streaming.[155][156][157]
Critical response[edit]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a 93%
approval rating with 58 reviews, with an average rating of 6.97/10. The website's critical
consensus reads, "You pairs thrilling drama with trashy fun to create an addictive social
media horror story that works its way under the skin – and stays there." [158] Review
aggregator Metacritic gave the first season a normalized score of 74 out of 100 based
on 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [159]
Alicia Lutes of IGN gave the first season an 8.4/10, stating that it is "so insane, you're
bound to be riveted and engaged if nothing else" and that the series is "a horrifying love
letter to all those romantic ideals and expectations that have permeated our society".
[160]
 Liz Miller from IndieWire gave the first season an "A−" grade, mentioning in a positive
review that it invokes "the best qualities of David Fincher's Gone Girl and Mary Harron's
adaptation of American Psycho", and that the series "juxtaposes the idea of love as
glamorized by the romance industrial complex with its dark side". [161] Kylie Nixon from
Stuff complimented the first season in her review by adding that the "show will mess
with your head. You might feel super, super awkward a couple or fifty times, but by God,
you'll be entertained."[162]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an 88% approval rating with an average
rating of 8.07/10, based on 41 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Penn
Badgley's perversely endearing serial stalker keeps looking for love in all the wrong
places during a second season that maintains the subversive tension while adding
some welcome variations on the series' formula." [163] On Metacritic, the second season
has a weighted average score of 74 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "generally
favorable reviews".[164]
Joshua Rivera of The Verge gave the second season a positive recommendation,
writing that "At first, it seems like You is simply repeating itself, playing the same beats
with a different woman in Joe's sights..." but adds that due to "a combination of
Badgley's performance and the incredible savvy of every member of the crew that
points a camera or light at him, you frequently suffer whiplash for liking him, as he goes
from charming book nerd to sardonic lead to super creep in the same
shot."[165] Clémence Michallon of The Independent gave the second season a very
positive review, writing: "What follows is a dark psychological thriller that manages to be
in every way as enthralling as its predecessor – a rare feat in a world where too many
TV shows fail to quit while they're ahead." He said further, "Rivetingly told and well
acted, You manages to make a viscerally unlikable protagonist endlessly interesting.
That is no small achievement."[166]
