We started watching the Netflix original You with the expectation that it would be a cliché — like every American "stalker" movie or show. Psycho boy/girl stalks boy/girl who are the object of their affection. Stalk, stalk, stalk, till in the end, stalker is killed, and meets his dreaded end.

But, after watching a few episodes of You, we were left thinking 'ok, this is a bit different'. The fact that it's based on a novel by the same name by Caroline Kepnes could be the reason that it's nuanced. But before I comment on the plot line, we have to tell Gossip Girl's boring/pathetic 'Dan Humphrey' Penn Badgley, to take a bow. He is excellent as the creepy protagonist.
