You: Season 4, part 1

You
netflix.com
I love You. I know he’s terrible. I know he’s a serial killer. I know he’s a stalker… but I love rooting for Joe.
I started watching it in Oct 2021 and couldn’t stop watching it. I thought that was the end of it, with Season 3, as there’s only been three books.
A fourth season, would mean that that the story would be made up entirely for the television… and we all know how that turned out when they ran out of books for Game of Thrones or Dexter. Simply put, without the source material, the television show suffers without proper direction.
After two years in hiatus, due to the pandemic… You is back with a Season 4, courtesy of Netflix. With no books, is Season 4 good? I don’t know honestly, because we’re only given half the season to whet our appetite… The last five episodes will be available March 9, 2023.
In the new series, Joe gets obsessed over a new “You”, in the compelling Charlotte Ritchie. She suspects Joe is stalking her and doesn’t make it easy for Joe to get close to her. Of course, the two bonds over a few murders… in true You fashion.
I’m calling the new season, the “You in England.” I think it is because I don’t like any of the rich/royalty English characters. I’m assuming that’s what the show runner intended… but when you don’t like or care for anyone, why would I feel anything when one of the rich dies?

The Nevers: Season 1, Part 2

The Nevers

After a long two-year gap, part two of The Nevers has finally aired in mid-February 2023. This show had trouble from the start, particularly with the original creator, Joss Whedon. Then the pandemic hit, and filming had to be put on hold.
It’s been so long, I’d forgotten everything. And the big problem with The Nevers is the large cast of characters. Who’s this person, who’s that? Why should I care about this club owner? Why am I watching this evil murdering little girl? What is going on?
Let’s step back. From what I can remember, there was an alien that landed in London, circa 1880-ish, and all these women developed superpowers… Then in the series, you find out that men also got powers.
Part one setup and orphanage for “touched” women. There were bad-touched women, and good-touched women.
In part two, it seems that all the touched have teamed up. Now the normal humans are at war with “the touched.” The whole story and concept is a big mess… and it’s probably due to the lack of guidance and direction from Whedon.
I like the two lead characters, Amalia (Laura Donnelly) and Penance (Ann Skelly). Amalia is like a soldier (who is a time traveler?) and Penance is an inventor. Everyone else, including the giant debutante, the doctor, and the fire-throwing woman, I wish they got rid of all these characters and just focus on Amalia and Penance. Keep it simple.
