YOU - Outstanding (A)

I always try to judge the show on it's source material and story they are trying tell it's audience. A show about psychopath is not something new, recently Dexter successfully captured everyone's eye with some brilliant seasons and performances. What makes YOU so different from shows before is it's social commentary to our generation. Even in the first season usually the girl is portrayed as damsel in distress, a naive rom-com heroin qualities to it but here Guinevere Beck was flawed, troubled like many of us in today's times. Noone is perfect and the show judges its audiences too if they root for the psychopath.

This is one of the very few shows, which changes it's setup adds new cast and all three seasons can stand on their own thanks to brilliant performances from the Leads from Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail and Victoria Pedretti.

I had great time watching all three season, and will always recommend to people looking for something refreshing, bold and throughly entertaining. Sometimes we need to judge a show for it's entertainment level, not every show has to win Emmy one day.
