The second season of Netflix's 'You' has arrived; it's the perfect violent, depressing antidote to all that holiday cheer.

Most crucially, the season tweaks last year's stalker/stalkee formula by adding Candace , Joe's ex-girlfriend and ex-victim, whom viewers suspected was dead in Season 1. Candace channels her rage and vengefulness into playing his game of lies and manipulation, worming her way into Love's life, too."You" returns with Joe, who murdered his last love, Beck , and got away with it at the end of Season 1, as he runs away from Candace. He moves to L.A.

Adopting the pseudonym Will, he sees Love, with whom he becomes instantly obsessed, and he manipulates his way into her life and heart even faster than he did with Beck. He begins committing his litany of crimes earlier this time around . New York was such an integral part of the story and the tone of Season 1 that fans might be nervous that L.A. is a little too sunny for Joe's dark deeds. But"You" smartly uses the city to its advantage, adding a smidgen of celebrity culture critique and subjecting the emo bookworm to hippie retreats with the owners of a grocery store even earthier than Whole Foods.

"You" has always dared its audience to root for its sadistic antihero, presenting Joe as a conventionally attractive, ostensibly perfect protagonist, then contrasting that persona with his malicious deeds. Season 2 does more than exhibit Joe's crimes; the writers make Candace a central and worthy antagonist. She plays Joe's game of pretend, but she's also a deeply scarred woman he abused .

When the series debuted on Lifetime, its original home, in fall 2018, it won critical praise but barely registered as a blip in the vast world of TV. Fast forward to last December, when the series arrived on Netflix and became a sensation.Netflix was always the proper place for"You," which is best viewed in one or two sittings with snacks and a drink to spit-take whenever Joe does something horrifying.
