The series stars Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail, Luca Padovan, Zach Cherry, and Shay Mitchell, with a special guest appearance by John Stamos.

I thought this was completely engaging from the start. I will definitely continue the journey.

Also, props for Lifetime to continue the trend of not editing content or language.

I watched the Pilot for this last night (recorded a re-air)

Really knew nothing about it, but was pleasantly surprised. Very dark and unique taking this show from the perspective of a stalker. Badgely is kind of creepy, yet interesting.

I :lol: at the scene where he was jerking off watching Becks from outside and that old lady almost caught him.

Interesting that he's now holding Beck's boyfriend hostage. But, I was a little confused because I thought Benji saw Joe when they arrived in the cab a few scenes back. And then Joe was pretending to be some magazine guy.

Lifetime dropped this and it is moving to Netflix.

I watched the whole thing. It was pretty entertaining, but they should've run it as a summer show.


Joe Goldberg apparently will find his next obsession at Netflix: The Lifetime drama YOU will move to the streaming service for its second season.

Though Lifetime initially had renewed the Penn Badgley-led series for a second season, before Season 1 had even premiered, the cable network has opted not to air the sophomore run, citing low ratings as a major factor in the decison.

“Lifetime had an incredible experience working with Greg Bertlanti, Sera Gamble and the entire team on YOU for Season 1,” the network said in a statement. “We wish the cast and crew the best as the series continues on at Netflix and can’t wait for the opportunity to work with the creative team again.”

Based on Caroline Kepnes’ novel of the same name, YOU stars Badgley as Joe Goldberg, a bookstore employee who instantly falls for, then obsessively stalks, a customer-turned-love interest named Beck (Elizabeth Lail). In the Season 1 finale — Spoiler Alert! — Beck ultimately died at Joe’s hand, and Joe’s ex-girlfriend Candace showed up in a cliffhanger ending.

Season 2, which will loosely follow the events of Kepnes’ follow-up Hidden Bodies, will move the action to Los Angeles.

“There’s a lot of great story in the second book that we’re going to be able to do, but in our way,” executive producer Sera Gamble told TVLine in November. “Los Angeles is a completely different vibe… We started the writers’ room for Season 2 by being like, ‘Joe moves to L.A. and he completely hates it. Let’s talk about how much fun that is.'”

This is not the first time a Lifetime series has jumped to a different platform during its run: The fourth and final season of UnREAL was dropped on Hulu, instead of its original network, earlier this year.

"You" Netflix/ Lifetime series
 
Anyone watch this series yet? Being a guy I usually don't care for Lifetimes movies/shows but this one is played from the male perspective. It was originally produced by Lifetime, but since then it has become a Netflix series as they'll produce the second season and it fits inore with their servoce than it does with Lifetime programming.

Netflix announced that Season 2 premieres 12/26. I wonder if anyone else here checked this out when it made the move to Netflix?

Will definitely binge season 2 next month.

I still need to finish the first season. I stalled on watching it around episode 6. I think I watched 2 or 3 on Lifetime and then picked it up again when it hit Netflix, but stalled on it. I mean I like, but just stalled on it when shows started piling up.

Watched the first episode of Season 2 and thought it was great. I loved Victoria Pedretti on The Haunting of Hill House, so it was really nice to see her here.

Re: You (now on Netflix) C: Berlanti, Gamble, S: Penn Badgley
 
Finished with season 2. In a lot of ways as good as the first season but I still think the first season was better. The show gets really crazy in the last couple of episodes. Looking forward to season 3.

Haven't watched S2 yet, but so far S1 is giving me too much of a Dexter vibe.

Just discovered this series and liking it well enough so far but has anyone else noticed the very odd camera/photography work? Lots of distortion, extremely blurred backgrounds, and some shots have that definite "toy train set" effect.

Berlanti's other shows have a similar look, namely Sabrina and Riverdale.

Just finished S1, really liked it. Pacing wise, they really made use of the 45 minutes they had for each episode.
There were times I was so engrossed only to find out only 20 minutes had passed.

I just don't understand how Joe keeps getting these super hot (relatively speaking) girls. Elizabeth Lail? Victoria Pedretti? Looks like I need to start readin' and killin'.

I just watched both seasons in the last week. Really enjoyed it.

I certainly noticed the camera work. I found the blurring really distracting, and don't feel it added anything.

The ending (i.e. the last scene in the backyard) was really well done, and makes me anxious to see S3.

Just finished season one (Warner just released the DVD). Really liked it. Both Badgley and Lail were both great.

My girlfriend and I were looking for something to watch last night and she came across this on Netflix so we watched the first couple episodes. Very weird show. I get very much a vibe of Dexter but with some differences.

The one thing I question is how long the show can go with the plot. I see it’s already had two seasons of ten episodes each and a third coming up. Seems like it might start to wear thin after a while, and I would think that Beck would have to notice Joe’s behavior at a certain point.

Re: You (now on Netflix) C: Berlanti, Gamble, S: Penn Badgley
 
What a good show. Both seasons so far have been terrific binge material. The Dexter comparison is unavoidable--a main character narrator that's sympathetic charming and dangerous. This show, however, is about a guy "just trying to find love"... Also reminds me a bit of Talented Mr. Ripley.

Spoiler:
For some reason I wasn’t expecting Beck to die. She was taken out really fast after learning Joe’s secret. I almost thought she might be a little crazy and embrace what he is.

We watched the end of the season and the first episode of season two last night. Pretty good show, but it feels like it could be the same thing on repeat just in a new location with different characters other than Joe.

Hopefully the show runners have an endgame in mind or I feel like it’ll fall into the same trappings Dexter did and go completely off the rails by the end.


Mike86 02-23-20 12:40 AM

Re: You (now on Netflix) C: Berlanti, Gamble, S: Penn Badgley
 
Spoiler:
Finished up season two tonight. Pretty good overall. Truthfully I felt something was a bit off with Love from the start of the season, but wasn’t sure if my instincts about her would turn out correct. I didn’t exactly expect her to be a killer, but I thought she’d find out about Joe somehow and either not care because she’s crazy or just help cover his tracks or something.

Fucking Joe too. After all the shit he went through and almost getting his ass caught he’s still ready to stalk the neighbor, which will obviously lead to more trouble.

I really hope this show has a plan where it’s going and it doesn’t drag on forever like Dexter to the point where it gets stupid.

Brack 02-23-20 01:24 AM

Netflix generally doesn’t run their shows into the ground like Showtime does at times. I hope not in this case anyway.

PhantomStranger 03-31-20 05:22 PM

Re: You (now on Netflix) C: Berlanti, Gamble, S: Penn Badgley
 
Finally got around to finishing up season one. As someone said, an excellent show to binge on at once. The plotting relies a little too heavily on lucky coincidences and fortunate luck for Joe, but that doesn't diminish the show's tight writing and fully developed characters. I could see it being a weird fit for Lifetime. Lifetime has pulled back in the past two years from racier material, not to mention the on-screen blood and violence.

Felt the same. It got somewhat better in the last few episodes but not nearly as good as the 1st season.

I watched both seasons over the last month, and it's a fun little guilty pleasure. Things started getting really over the top in the second half of season 2, but I rolled my eyes and groaned during the last scene. The show should have ended with him living a happy suburban life with his equally crazy killer gf, but instead he eyes the neighbor through the fence and he's got a new obsession. I'm not sure I'll watch season 3.

Looking forward to the new season of this. I enjoyed this show for the most part. I probably slightly preferred season one, but season two was pretty good too.
