"You" Review

"It's risky, but love requires a hint of madness."
Based on the book series by Caroline Kepnes, the hit Netflix show "You" will have you wondering why you find yourself supporting a serial killer.
Joe Goldberg is an obsessive stalker who falls in love with women and eliminates any obstacles that may stand in his way. He may make some stupid decisions, but he is brilliant and calculating. He knows how to cover up any murder that he commits.
Joe is a complex character, and he had a tragic childhood that resulted in some severe abandonment issues, so you can slightly understand why he is the way he is.
"You" has four seasons, and each season is better than the last. It may be slow during the first couple of episodes of each season, but it rapidly picks up to where you can't stop watching it, as there is a lot of betrayal, plot twists, and murder.
If you are a fan of "How To Get Away with Murder," you may want to watch this show as it is unpredictable and addicting. Below, I go more in-depth about the recent season, but if you still need to watch it, I strongly advise you to stop here to avoid spoilers.

**** (Warning: Season 4 spoilers are beyond) ****
Season 4's plot twist threw me off because I genuinely wanted to believe that Joe was innocent for once. But, unfortunately, there is no Rhys Montrose as the serial killer; it's been Joe the whole time. He has an alter ego who comes in the form of Rhys, but he doesn't know him. He is the Eat the Rich killer and an erotomaniac.
At the end of the series, his murderous ego is the one who takes over his body, so there will be a lot more killings than usual.
I am upset that Eddie died. He was innocent in everything and only supported Nadia. He didn't deserve to die, and Nadia shouldn't be in prison, although she should've listened to the "curiosity kills the cat" saying.
Overall, season four impressed me, and I can't wait to see what other situations Joe gets into for season five now that he has people who can help him cover up murders.
