If you go into You looking for an actual prestige drama around crime and serial killers, you will just end up complaining or miss the entire point of the show. Go watch Mindhunter, Barry or watch any of the million true crime shows out there.
If you go into You looking for a dark comedy that has some serious moments thrown in, then I think you'll enjoy the show way more and roll with the punches.
Yes, Joe should have been caught by now. Yes, him becoming an English university professor is dumb as hell. Yes, Joe is gonna get into wacky hijinks killing tons of annoying characters and skirting the line between getting caught or digging all responsibilities.
But that's the show and how it keeps raising the stakes makes it such a fun dark comedy to watch. This is the same show that introduced a baby like similar shows Dexter have done before, but You knows what it is and instead of using the baby as a staple plot point, they literally did one season and then had Joe ditch it to go on new wacky adventures.
I'm fully ready for another season of Joe fawning over new women, killing quirky characters and then him getting away at the end to become an astronaut and fall in love with an alien for Season 5.
