Parul, Melanie, and Randall break down the Netflix series You to determine what works, what doesn't work, and why.
Initial Observations
Mel - The villain is the hero of his own story. And it was great to get into the mind of a psychopath, especially through the first-person narrative, seeing how he leaves red herrings for whoever is trying to get him and start seeing the good guys as his antagonists while wanting him to succeed.
Parul - Another great story where we have great innovations of the Love Genre mixed with the thriller genre to give us an engaging narrative drive. Reminds me of Killing Eve.
Randy - Awesome. Compelling story, well told.
