It’s literally a Lifetime original. The whole joke of the show is “Serial Killer Soap”

I like to think that they managed to elevator pitch this show and the execs at Lifetime had no idea what they were actually funding. There’s got to be a reason they were dropped after one season.

Will give credit to the lead actor on being very vocally against people liking his character too. The show always kinda read to me like satire of the modern obsession with True Crime. Something that very quickly devolved as the satire went over people heads and they got horny for Joe.

Since when does Netflix make prestige TV?

I think Ozark and Orange is the New Black would count as prestige tv.

You is not though and also started out on Lifetime.

I remember it getting better again in the last season, but the season before that was completely awful.

A while now. Mindhunter and Beef come to mind. But they’re rare

But I mentioned Netflix because “you” is a generic title and wanted to have people filter it down if they go searching

This is one of my partner’s favorite shows

So even in mobile with the subtitles barely legible, I knew exactly what they said

My partner is really into the books too, the guy who does the audiobook sounds a hell of a lot like Penn Badgley, it’s wild

Are the books good if you’ve already seen the show? Was thinking of getting them as a gift.

Not prestige, this is a dogshit show after the first season

It’s good slop IMO. It’s absolutely ridiculous but it’s a fun watch, I think people just expect too much from the show because it markets itself as this serious horror thriller or whatever.

That’s what I though too, but the 4th season was so bad I hadto stop watching

Eh I liked it, they kinda had no other choice but to really go crazy with it. Also I hope you got to the final plot twist of season 4, it’s when it really gets extremely ridiculous.

I just hope they wrap it up next season, I can’t imagine them keeping the momentum for 3 more seasons.
