You

Season 1: I wasn't completely sure if this topic would capture my interest enough to enjoy it. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised, even though there were some flaws for me personally. I consider the main flaws to be the absolute dullness and flightiness of the main character, although she often explains her behavior, it did not make me like or sympathize with her more as expected, and there were moments when I wished for her fate. Overall, it is built on a very interesting form, I even recalled the novel "The Collector" by John Fowles several times, with similar symbols and elements regarding the environment and interests of the main characters. Being essentially constantly in Joe's head gives the story a brisk pace and doesn't really make it boring. I had to overcome the first few episodes, as they say, but I almost always do with new series. The second flaw for me was all the romance, sometimes I was even disgusted by it :D But fortunately, it was balanced out by some attack or murder, so it can also be overlooked, because the creators really try to keep the viewers' attention, and I'm glad I had more time to binge-watch half of the series. In summary, I rate it very positively, I just hope that the second season will have a much more reasonable main character that can be sympathized with.Season 2: The change of location and exteriors to California's L.A. didn't really help the second season. It felt very Americanized and lacked the romantic intimacy of the first season. This season might appeal more to a more commercial audience. However, it has one significant plus, as the main character is finally not annoying and seems human, normal, and not an absolute cow like Beck. Concerning the story, the only thing that bothered me were the far-fetched elements in the final episodes. It is still a decent ride, although a bit hesitant, but I look forward to the third season. Season 3: This series is becoming another awkward guilty pleasure for me, and I kind of feel lazy giving it four stars, because it feels more and more contrived with each season. Despite that, the content and ideas are still somewhat on point, addressing relationship issues that, apart from the murders, viewers can empathize with, while being bombarded with hormones and emotions. On the other hand, it is already terribly unrealistic, and the original idea and concept are irretrievably lost, so it's better not to compare these seasons at all. The main couple's individual struggles often border on science fiction, but that's probably why you want to immediately watch the next episode. Well, mass culture works. Season 4: I was already thinking of giving only two stars because where this series is heading is truly a mystery to me. I can't even say which half was better because each had its ups and downs, but mostly downs. However, my primary issue lies in the randomness and absurdity of the environment filled with pampered caricatured wealthy people, unbearable characters, and even a supremely unsympathetic lead female character. If I thought the third season was far-fetched, I had no idea what could come next. It's evident that the ideas for a logical script, at least within the You universe, which has always been somewhat specific but had the power to keep the audience hooked and shock them every few episodes, are quickly running out. My opinion is that it should have stopped at its peak, which should have been resolved by concluding the series after the previous season. This is barely two and a half stars because I don't want to admit what has become of You. The fact that I could hardly finish it and had to force myself to each episode already indicated that.
