I was excited for You when I saw the trailers ; turning the show around into a new direction after the same formulaic 3 seasons with different details seemed like an ambitious move that would bring forth a new story to Joe's life but all it has brought is disappointment.
The show reads something like a Lollywood soap opera ; the characters involved in this "whodunit" are entirely uninteresting and it seems as the show has sinked into mediocrity with it's writing. Watching the first / second season of You filled you with a sort of dread and excitement as to what would happen next but now , I just wait for the boring dialogue to finish as fast as possible.
The "whodunit" in itself is also entirely uninteresting ; no effort went into placing any clues around to intrigue the viewer or any sort of brainstorm as to what the motives and obsessions the "Eat The Rich" killer might have.
It seems as if Netflix had their boot down the production of "You" and what emerged as of Season 4 was an unfinished , uninteresting and wholly boring season which seemed rushed with very unrealistic scenarios and characters that you could literally not give a care about. I didn't hate any of the characters and I didn't love them and when they eventually got murdered , the most I could muster up was a "hmm".
This is just the review for Part 1 of Season 4 but this show would need a miracle to become anything more than what it actually is ; a time killer with sex scenes sprinkled in between.

The very first thing a viewer will notice about this show is the absolutely spot-on casting ; every actor and actress is perfectly cast especially Taron Egerton and Paul Hauser. The one thing this show has absolutely mastered are the time jumps within it ; unlike other shows and movies , the time jumps are added into the plot perfectly so that the viewers can
A) Catch all the significant details B) Not get bored by one setting too much C) Get even more embroiled into the story
By the end , the story had me tearing up and Paul Walter Hauser's performance as Larry Hall had me wide-eyed at multiple times throughout the plot. Jimmy Keene's father also had a strong plot and foundation for his character and although the series only has 6 episodes , each and every character in this show makes you feel as if you've known them for 100 episodes.

I never thought I'd be writing this after the travesty that was GOT Season 8 but wow ; house of the dragon has taken me back to the early days when I first started watching GOT. I never read the books so watching this series felt like a new world to explore again. The characters are refreshing , the references to GOT nostalgic and the actors are simply lovely in terms of their acting and all their chemistry.
The chemistry between Daemon and Rhaenarys as messed up as it sounds is beautifully adapted by both their actors. The King perfectly embodies the sense of duty and misery. The show is refreshing , has a solid storyline and has the potential to be greater than GOT. A solid foundation coupled with a visionary writing team will make House of The Dragon a prodigy. Keep in mind , this review was written by episode 4 and I've not had the guts to skip even 1 second of any episode cause the story has been thrilling so far.
