I loved season 2. But the last minute of the finale felt out of place and totally forced. Completely useless.
I binge-watched this series recently so quick, I love it so much but I'm happy I'm not the only one who felt the season 2 finale was a little off. Still, I am really excited for season 3 to watch karma hit Joe hard.
Yes, the last 2 or 3 lats minutes, setting a kind of season 3 premise was stupid and unnecessary. It felt so forced too.
Thank God those last minutes didn't waste the whole season.

I've finished watching season 3 of You (don't worry, there will be no spoilers in this post) and thought it remains consistently good. Shifting the focus from Joe to both him and Love gave the show a fresh feel and impetus and it didn't feel like they were just wringing every last drop of energy out of the same old format. It didn't feel tired or like a rehash of what we have previously seen but something new but still very much rooted in what has gone before.
As usual they left the story open for a possible season 4 which if it happens I will be eager to watch it.

I really enjoyed the first season of YOU, which I found engrossing and memorable. On the other hand, I realize I barely recall a single thing about season two; I don't remember its plot or characters or even how it ended. Given that, I don't feel any great urgency to watch the third.

Season 1 was great, but the specific narrative becomes a little familiar in season 2.
The big plot twist was not as shocking and surprising as it should have been, and my favourite character was not Joe or Love but his ex-girlfriend Candace.

I had to resort to Google to refresh my memory, but yeah she was the best part of season two.

With not much else on radar to watch, I made my way through S3 of YOU over the past couple weeks. I thought it was decent. This is the kind of show that falls into the "content" umbrella -- good enough to watch, but not good enough to be particularly memorable. I suspect before S4, I'll be saying I don't remember S3.
I think the season would have been better with fewer episodes and tighter pacing; at 10 episodes, it felt too detour-y and unfocused.

Maybe because we were inside Joe Goldberg's head, and since the story concept of "finding True Love" goes way back to the fairy tales from our childhood it was almost impossible not to root for him, even more so because the woman he loved felt somewhat undeserving of his pure and unconditional love.
As with DEXTER, most of the suspense came from hoping he'd get away with it.
Season 2 did something similar and inevitably lacked the originality of season 1. It's different in DEXTER because the killing part is what makes this character tick.
Last night I've watched the first episode of season 3 and I must say that Joe's concern regarding parenthood doesn't particularly concern me because I only really liked him as a hopelessly romantic guy.
There are the obligatory super-annoying neighbours (the equivalent of super-annoying teenagers spending a night in a remote cabin) and it kinda feels like waiting for them to be slaughtered. That could be fun but does it warrant 10 episodes?
Of course I hope to be proven wrong and I'm still curious enough to see how they're going to tackle this third chapter.

The first 3 episodes didn't look very promising and I was about to give the rest of season 3 a miss.
Their reason for creating The Problem that was going to move the story forwards felt somewhat uninspired, lazy even, but once the other residents got more and more involved I started to notice what a fabulous ensemble cast it was.
The ups and downs in the Goldberg marriage dawdled a bit and firm decisions were easily undecided, and it's only in the second part of this series when things are coming together because of what happened in the first part.
The rules are different from season 1, it's messier in its totally misplaced self-awareness (becoming a better person = trying not to kill people?) but eventually that hindrance becomes one of its assets. Regardless of where the comeuppance was going to land, it was going to be satisfying.
As Crimson said this isn't going to be very memorable but for the most part it was a nice guilty pleasure - and I liked it better than season 2.
