Holy smokes, I'm bored stiff. Love this show but season 4 is a boring, whodunit with absolute douchebags. There are some funny lines here and there but overall it's awful. I'm on ep5 and am not sure I can get through any more. Anyone else?
I credit penn badgley, dude is mesmerizing in the role, just so incredibly entertaining
Love and her bro carried those two seasons. Now that's she's gone, I didn't bother watching it beyond the first few minutes of the episode.
A lot of shows get worse as they go but season 4 is a huge drop off (so far).
Agreed, I felt a dip in quality each season, but the 4th is quite the drop. AND that’s before you get to the finale, which I feel is another huge drop in quality and probably jumps the shark like 3 distinct times, it’s wild lmao
It gets better in the second half. Hits a high point around episode 7. Not everything is as it seems. Have you noticed this is the first season missing his iconic glass jail?
First half is dull as shit but the 2nd half delivers
Lmao felt the opposite. First half was a refreshing reset to the show. Second half was so stupidly absurd I couldn’t even finish it.

You mean >!it doesn’t makes sense that a character can see someone with a bag of take out and think “he’s definitely up to something shady” or being able to find the location of that restaurant from said photo!<?? God that really threw me
That's simplifying it. There were a string of high profile murders and she found out that an extremely shady guy she knew just happened to be present for all of them. If anything she was the antithesis to a problem throughout the rest of the show - "how the fuck does nobody know Joe is a serial killer?"
I thought the first three episodes were kinda boring but really like how part 1 ended. Then watched the first three episodes of part 2, hated what they did with the murderer and with the two characters who weren't really important in p1, so now I'm struggling to finish it.
I wanted to love season 4, but the 1st half was a slog to sit through. Joe just kept falling into these situations that felt dumb and I lost interest in all of the other characters. Part 2 didn't start great and so far isn't getting better as I go.
I liked it. Isn't that the last episode anyways?

Oh nice.
Reportedly season 5 may be happening.
Me too. Liked it up until this season and couldn't get through 1 episode
On top his love interest is just an odd choice. She's not attractive but even more so is like an old lady who isn't old yet. Don't get that one at all.

i started watching as a hatewatch series. then first half wasnt that bad but big twist was s obvious. second half after they solve the big mystery it got boring. it fastforwarded it to finish it. i dont recommend it.
so if you didnt like first half, second half was worse for me.
Same. First half was a nice shift from a lackluster S3 (never liked the Love character)
Second half was absurd and not in an entertaining way
yeah but i loved love. she was chaotic enough. i really wanted her to be the endgame for joe cause they deserve eachother. they shouldve died together in the last season finale. it wouldve been poetic.
i really unrealisticly hopefully was waiting for her to show up for revenge and kill joe. it would make more sense and that should tell others how absurd it got explained.
Same here. Thought the twist was obvious and got really boring in the 2nd half. The mystery of the first half was more interesting
Yes, I got bored too before it picked up in the episode 6 onwards.
i watched first half, strained to get through every episode, gave up
A complete DUD
first 3 seasons offered some thrills n fun times ;)
Season4 part1 was kinda boring. I was having problems getting through it too.But part2 is good! So you better keep watching it.
There are so many unlikable characters in S4 though
I had a hard time getting through season 3 Wilhite is why I haven't started season 4.
I renewed my sub to Netflix to watch it. Turned to my husband 20 minutes in and said I didn’t think I could handle listening to the inner dialogue of a serial killer anymore. It was just ick.
The Inner dialog gets annoying after a while but there are the only funny lines here and there too. But yeah, totally get it.
I kind of loved it. I was getting sick of the "this season I met the perfect girl" b.s. I like this switch up to a mystery. Not as a good as season1 but idk how they could keep doing the same thing.

I felt like the horrible people in the first few seasons were although cartoonish, still recognizable as people you could meet. I'm from the UK, my sister graduated from Oxford and I don't think I've met anyone even remotely like the cast displayed here.
I love Charlotte Richie in Ghosts and Taskmaster, but she is awful here.
I watched it at 1.5x the speed and very happily scrolled on my phone to get through the boring scenes.
I got through it - lots of clichés and annoying characters - lots of stretches of suspension of disbelief. Definitely should have ended it there but they announced another season yesterday.
I think if they have more interesting characters next season, it’ll be good. This season had the most boring characters.
I liked the ending just not that cliffhanger of the girl surviving
Spoilers. I would take this down or put up a spoiler tag.
Big shift in episode 7, stick with it a little longer.
Nope. Best season yet in my opinion.

You is an interesting phenomenon because IMO it has been getting objectively worse each season, but somehow I can't stop watching it. Like, first season I gave into the buzz and was absolutely hooked, binged it in a day. Each subsequent season I've enjoyed less but still get through it within a day or two of its release. This last season I mostly just had it on in the background while doing other things. It's like a porno—you could probably watch just a few minutes from each episode and still understand the overarching story.
