You Season 5 First Reviews: Critics And Fans Are Split

You Season 5 has arrived on Netflix! Wanna know how the story of Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg ends? How about reading some of the first reviews of the latest season? Let’s have a look!

The final season brings Joe back to New York City. He’s aiming for a peaceful life, but the dangers of his past—and his own compelling desires—put his new beginning at risk.

The review embargo has finally been lifted, so we can now discuss how Season 5 has turned out.

The fifth and final season of Netflix’s You series has turned out to be one of the most divisive in the show’s history. Season 5 has received a highly polarised response from both critics and viewers.

One of the major criticisms the final season faces is its slow start. The initial episodes take some time to set up the final ride for Joe. But once the dust—and the new characters—settle in, the fun begins. Critics have pointed out that many viewers may feel a bit disoriented while watching the first few episodes, as a lot is going on in terms of storylines.

Some have also lashed out at the series’ ending, declaring it “rushed” and “uneven.” Many viewers may not feel satisfied with the show’s overall conclusion.

Penn Badgley’s performance as Joe Goldberg has been widely praised, with many calling it one of his best performances ever. The rest of the cast—including Anna Camp, Charlotte Ritchie, and Madeline Brewer—have also received strong praise for their outstanding work.

Here are some of the media platforms that have reviewed You Season 5:

  • ScreenRant: 7/10
