"You" began as a sharp, provocative character study wrapped in a psychological thriller. The first two seasons were gripping-darkly charismatic, morally complex, and consistently surprising. Joe Goldberg's inner monologue and the show's slick pacing made it a standout in the crowded field of serial-killer fiction.
But somewhere along the way, the series began to lose its soul. Season 4, in particular, felt more like a narrative experiment than a natural evolution. The twists-once earned and chilling-began to feel manufactured. The characters, once layered and compelling, started to make decisions that defied the arcs the show itself had worked so hard to build. Development was replaced with convenience.
By the time the Season 5 finale arrived, I was hoping for a payoff-a final reckoning, a signature "You" gut-punch. Instead, we got a fizzle where there should have been a bang. A story that once thrived on tension and consequence ended in a strangely weightless conclusion.
Still, I can't deny the strength of the characters, the performances, and the unique voice that initially made "You" so addicting. It's just a shame that the series forgot what made it special in the first place.

This movie did something to me and I cant tell you what it is. But I love the feeling.
Often you get a mediocre story, that lives through the amazing acting. Or you get mediocre acting, that lives through an amazing story. But not with shutter Island.
The acting is wonderful and the story just gets you.
You think, you know where all of this goes but then you realize - you dont. It is the right amount scary and thrilling but also gets you to emotionally connect with the characters.
I have watched Shutter Island about 4 times and everytime I see something new. The love for detail is on point.
This is an absolute MUST WATCH in my books.

Please don't pay money to watch it - wait until you can stream it somewhere so you at least don't pay for your disappointment.
The trailer promised me so many things - So many great things! But the movie couldn't be more disappointing. The story didn't make any sense, there were so so many plotholes and the characters were straight up unbearable. I really really wanted to like this film, but it proved throughout that it just isn't thought through. I was visually very impressed tho, but that really does not make up for a bad story.
I think, the amazing trailer made the experience of watching the movie worse. My very high expectations were crushed.
