'You' Season 3 on Netflix - The Reviews Are In!
You is back!
Season 3 of the hit Netflix series debuted on October 15.
The latest season of the show, about a dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man who goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by, sees the return of Penn Badgley, Victoria Pedretti, and Saffron Burrows.
Shalita Grant, Travis Van Winkle, Dylan Arnold, and Tati Gabrielle also star in the new season.
But what are critics saying about Season 3?
Check out the reactions inside…
The season currently has a 95% Fresh rating at RottenTomatoes among critics, and a 68% rating among users.
The Guardian gave it three out of five stars, writing: “As it does the impossible and wiggles out of its initial premise, You is becoming more self-aware – and it’s all the better for it.”
Variety said: “More and more, the show seems to be saying, Joe’s struggles are just a slightly amped-up version of the viewer’s own. He’s ‘You.’ But there’s too much grotesque violence in the show’s past for us to relate to him, or to take the show on its own terms.”
Vulture called it the “best it’s ever been,” adding: “A stalker drama can be fun, but it’s got nothing on the murder-romp possibilities of a serial killer Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where no one trusts anyone else but also someone needs to finish up the murdering in time to take over child-care duties.”
AV Club gave it a B+, writing: “Though it can be overstuffed at times, You balances brazen humor with emotional intelligence, all while keeping the mystery intact.”
Paste Magazine gave it a 7.7 out of 10, saying: “Pedretti’s performance is a delicious mix of rage and bougie suburban white lady privilege, a chaotic tour de force that’s every bit as messy and reactionary as Badgley’s Joe is removed and calculating.”
IndieWire gave it a B+, writing: “Regardless of the conclusions it draws, You remains a fascinating look at just how hard it is to outwit and outrun your own nature.”
Glamour said: “Honestly, I could watch these two attempt to out-gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss each other to a pulpy soundtrack of Baby Queen and Taylor Swift for another 10 episodes.”
