You
 
We binged this on Netflix over the last 3 days. Its actually really good for low-key trash! Basically Dan from Gossip Girl finally goes full creep and stalks / kills some folks.

It is legit a good watch though. Randomly very funny at times too (though it's not a comedy; I'd say knowingly funny in the way that Bates Motel was on occasion).

Niamh. 09-01-2019 11:13 AM

Oh we just started it last night and got through 4 episodes, it's good, bit trashy like you say but also creepy and a darkly funny

Shaun 09-01-2019 11:15 AM

Caught the first three episodes and it seemed enjoyable if hella predictable :laugh: Helps that everyone is 10/10 would bang, I guess.

Except Benji

Crimson Dynamo 09-01-2019 11:16 AM

Spoiler:

Beck dying was inevitable from the start and I was amused by the framing of Dr Nicky (someone HAD to be framed, there was no other way Joe was going to get away with it all)... but not sure where it's going with Candace being alive :think:

Spoiler:

was screaming at the t.v. when he locked her up, beck don't be an idiot just tell him what he wants to hear till you get out of there, although I didnt predict the cage at the top of the stairs

Crimson Dynamo 13-01-2019 01:25 PM

That Beck is one vile piece of work as was the disgusting peach. utterly vile women. I feel sorry for Joe that he was attracted to that when he had that nice black girlfriend who was normal and would have kept him on the straight and narrow.

Ethan was my fave tho

So Joe was a piece of work also for dumping her to get back with Beck

He was very tidy and thorough and only killed bad people who as Mr Moonie said "did not deserve to live" so i would not tarnish him as a serial killer

By ep 10 I rather liked him the only thing i disliked was his liking the horrible Beck

I actually think there were a lot of Dexter nods / inspiration but LT the point was that he was NOT tidy or efficient like Dexter, he was actually a total mess and left a tonne of physical and DNA evidence in every single one of his kills :joker:. There was no reasonable way he was going to get away with any of it until Dr Nicky was framed, because at that point they stopped investigating it seems... but the P.I. is clearly still going to have an eye on him.

That said I think (and have seen interviews with the author / show writers) you are supposed to sort of root for Joe, even though he is objectively a violent sociopath. He's supposed to be a likeable character who unfortunately is psychotically jealous and stalkery and kills people :think:.

Except that Patrick Bateman wasn't Patrick Bateman and, arguably, didn't even kill anyone :hee:.

Crimson Dynamo 14-01-2019 08:47 AM

Paco at least will grow up to be a violent sociopath so the series has longevity

and Candice has a much better bod than Beck so hopes for the new series are high :amazed:

I just did not like crazy people being put in the same place as all the lovely books, the vile Beck used a classic as a loo cover - call herself a lover of books, the tramp :oh:

It was a bit of a plot hole, I mean... the books would have been fine being taken out for a few days... he didn't need to leave them in there any of the times there were... umm... guests.

Crimson Dynamo 14-01-2019 09:01 AM

there were more plot holes than there is on the M6

Really? Oh god no, he absolutely doesn't come across as likeable in any way. If they were trying to emulate Dexter in that way then they failed miserably (except with Lt :p ) Dexter had a code, he didn't go round stalking people because he fancied them or stealing their underwear etc The people that Dexter focused on were actual murderers who'd gotten away with it :nono:

Not emulate Dexter but still Dexter-inspired... like an incompetent Dexter with no code :joker:.

Basically, imagine that instead of being raised by an experienced detective who knew how to cover up a crime and had a solid moral code, Dexter had been raised by an abusive book shop owner. That's how you end up with Joe :joker:. Important to remember that Dexter didn't kill people BECAUSE they were murderers, he killed people because it was the only way to satisfy the uncontrollable urge to kill, and so he sought out murderers as his victims because that was better than trying to resist completely (as he couldn't, and WOULD have ended up killing innocent people).

Regardless, I doubt Dexter would have turned into a creepy knicker sniffing stalker like Joe :idc: Also, Joe killed people when he backed himself into a corner, none of them were actually planned
