i mean i could see TS traveling the world to stalk a boy when she was younger, minus the murder of course.

I just made a post to discuss the show, the mods can gladly reject it lol.

Anyway, even though I saw the twist coming, I loved it and Penn is SO good.

Team Lady Phoebe!

Justice for Nadia!

Marienne for the win!

If Kate had been played by an actress who had charisma she would have been iconic.

Yes this times a thousand, the whole season I kept waiting for his love interest/future victim to be introduced because I couldn’t believe she was supposed to be it

Same. In part 1, you could argue that it was writing, but part 2 definitely tried to give her an actual character arc. The breaking of the ice queen persona, showing her being a good friend to Phoebe, exploring her daddy issues, etc. But still, the actress never made a single moment count.

I liked Charlotte Ritchie in FeelGood and UK Ghosts but she was not compelling in You. I think it's the writing and characterization more than the actor, tbh. She really didn't have much to go off of.

I liked it especially the 9th episode with the dream sequence. I really enjoyed the familiar faces telling Joe some harsh truths.

I thought the ending for [Spoiler (click to open)]Nadia was actually pretty shocking. I thought there would be some arrangement or another but wow, Joe is just leaning into full evil now.

I also thought Penn did a really good job acting this season. He had to do a lot more than in the past as Joe this year!

Also maybe this is a dumb pet peeve but [Spoiler (click to open)]it was crazy to me that marienne’s phone was not completely dead after what must have been weeks in the cage. Mine barely lasts a day! Also why would a kidnapper bring her phone to the same location?? Isn’t there at least an off chance it would be tracked??

[asnindie]

Yeah the phone battery power was giving Nintendo DS.

I'm still watching, but I just had to say.... Nadia's deductions are so baseless, particularly the one about how Joe only just started reading detective stories and suddenly he is good at detective mysteries etc...

[halloween1978]

Nothing about Nadia's involvement made sense. Why did she take her boyfriend to where Marienne was and freak out over M not being there even though plan B had been enacted and she participated in it??

[asnindie]

It was ridiculous. The whole thing.

[izzzzy23]

oh good point! maybe she thought the box would still be there?

[lightredemption]

What was the twist? I watched part 1 but I can't be bothered to do part 2 - I think the cast is just really grating this season.

[blood_pressures]

the twist was predicted here on ontd: [Spoiler (click to open)] rhys is a personality of joe

[lightredemption]

ahhh - yeah, I saw several people theorise that TY!
