![]() ![]() Despite its’ trashy exterior, I feel like this programme tries to give a good message and tackles issues of abuse pretty well when it comes to Joe’s experience, so why can’t we see more of Marienne’s story? Maybe I’m giving You too much credit but I don’t like to dismiss it as pure shite because I think they’re actually trying to tell some heartfelt stories. I couldn’t really describe her personality because they didn’t give her much complexity and she deserves better. Tati Gabrielle who plays her is lovely in every way but I felt like they didn’t give her much to work with. It looks a little like they were being careless just trying to make room for more moving parts – which this season has a healthy amount of.Ī final complaint before I get to the good stuff would be Marienne as a character. To make these complaints a little more concise, I wish they had taken a little more time with both of these plot points. Love and her mother were both clearly still obsessed with him and struggling with the loss, but all it took was for Love to have a drunken conversation with his ghost in the bath for her to be over it and announcing she needed to move on? Really? Y’all are just going to decide to “move on” and he will never be mentioned again? Not passing judgement on anyone’s healing but that doesn’t sound very healthy to me. Forty is Love and Joe’s son Henry’s middle name, so Love was calling him Forty and Love’s crazy mum was also calling him Forty and overall there was just a lot of Forty talk. In the first half of the season, Forty was brought up constantly. I hate storylines that just go missing and it just seemed unnecessary to bring her up. This would be fine but after like episode 3 there was literally no mention of this or Ellie again. There was a half-hearted attempt to show that Joe was still helping her by stealing library books at his new job to fix up and sell so he could send her cash. ![]() The glaringly obvious one (to me at least) would be that Ellie – the adorable precocious teenager whose sister Love murdered in the last season – should never have been mentioned at all if they weren’t going to consistently include her throughout the season. I have a few niggles I would like to get out of the way first. I mean really, it was *chef’s kiss* true perfection. Towards the end I gave up on my not-bingeing rule and just powered through to the best finale episode I could ever have asked for. The thing is, I can’t be absolutely sure, but has this show now become so good it’s good? It was very difficult to tell during this heady season of television. I’m a huge fan of anything so bad it’s good, so You has always been one of my top choices for something truly outrageous that’s perfect to make fun of when I need to flex my improvisational comedy skills. To put it very simply, it was f***** insane, in the best possible way. I teased this season out for as long as humanly possible, mainly in rebellion because it’s ridiculously addictive. What better way to spend my evening? Especially since I can’t sleep due to excessive sneezing. (Note: it did, in fact, come for me next – I’m holed up in my bed two days later losing my sanity rapidly). I’m feverishly writing this from my bed feverish partly because of how f****** fantastic the finale was, and partly because someone in my house tested positive for Covid and I’m pretty sure it’s coming for me next. It’s 1.40am and I just finished season 3 of Netflix’s You. Also, please enjoy this frankly creepy photo of Penn Badgley that I had to use because Netflix don’t want to give me anything for free. They have been kept to a minimum but just to be safe. Please don’t read this if you haven’t finished it – I really don’t want to be responsible for giving you spoilers. ![]()
