We’re just as scared as we are excited.
A couple of months ago, we shared the first trailer for You, the terrifying romantic thriller based on a best-selling novel of the same name.
It’s a love story about an obsessive man who uses the hyper connectivity of today’s technology to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him.
Using the internet and social media as his tools to gather the most intimate of details and get close to her, a charming and awkward crush quickly becomes obsession as he quietly and strategically removes every obstacle — and person — in his way.
Have a look at the trailer here:

The entirety of season one will be released on 26 December. Not exactly a Christmassy show, but we’ll definitely be watching it either way.
It looks like it’s going to be a good one, as Netflix have already renewed it for a second season, before we have even seen season one!
And in case you’re still on the fence, take a look at just some of the early reviews that You has received:
“Creepy, addictive and full of dry humor about social media, millennials, and dating in the age of Tinder.” – Los Angeles Times
“Invoking the best qualities of David Fincher’s Gone Girl and Mary Harron’s adaptation of American Psycho. […] While we’re thoroughly embedded in Joe’s point of view from the beginning, the writing and Badgley’s performance do just enough to ensure that it’s not a comfortable experience, even as we get to know him more and more.” – Indiewire
“Scary and soapy and funny and tense, YOU is a lot like social media itself: perhaps not the most edifying way to spend your time, but very, very hard to quit.” – Entertainment Weekly
