‘You’ is a psychological thriller about a guy named Joe Goldberg who is a charming but dangerous obsessive man who becomes obsessed with women and goes to the highest standards to insert himself into their lives. The show is rated TV-MA for its murdering, violence, and sexual content.

Recap:

In the first season Joe works at a book store and a customer comes in named Beck who is looking for a good book and asks Joe if they had it and they have a conversation. After that conversation ended Joe instantly fell in love and knew that Beck “was the one for him” and knew he needed to become close with her. After that day Joe would think about her on a daily basis.

Once Joe got home he opened his laptop and started typing Beck’s name on social media looking at her pictures and even looking in the background of her photos to find her address .

The next morning, he walks to her place and sees her through the window and watches her while she’s getting ready. After that he finds her schedule and gets his day ready at the same exact time as hers, and starts stalking her throughout the day. Once Joe finds out Beck has a boyfriend he gets angry and wants that obstacle removed immediately because he doesn’t want anything blocking his chance of getting with Beck.

After that day, Joe heads back to Beck’s and sees the door open. He doesn’t want to be suspicious so he acts like Beck’s boyfriend so he wouldn’t have people second guessing about his behavior.

He then snuck into Beck’s house and went through all of her stuff to see what he could find and went on her computer and through all her pictures.

After snooping he hears the door open and gets scared and he jumps in her shower trying to hide so Beck won’t see him. He then hears Beck on the phone saying how she’s going to a bar and he has the idea to also go to the bar so he can see her.

He then goes to the bar and stalks her for awhile until he sees Beck get drunk. When he notices she’s taking a subway home he follows her. While trying not to get noticed he sees Beck stumbling by the train tracks and falls. He runs towards her and helps her up and notices she drops her phone but doesn’t say anything.

My rating:

In my opinion I love this show. It’s really mysterious and you never really know what is gonna happen next. I love how there’s like the inner voice of his thoughts. Lastly, I like how it shows flash backs from when he was a child to show the reasoning behind his behavior.

If you like shows that have crime and psychological thrillers I recommend that you watch this show. I rate it a 9.5/10

Thank you for reading my review. I hope you enjoyed my review and are willing to watch this show after seeing it.

‘You’ is available to watch on Netflix and Amazon video.
