Well, I did enjoy season two I can feel the newness of it slipping away and leaving room for a teeny tiny bit of dissatisfaction to slip in.

This season wasn't living up for me, until the very end when it's revealed that Love and Joe are - truly and in fact - soul mates.

Annnnnnd, that was an awkward pivot. The sharp tonal shift between the first and second seasons is jarring to say the least. Honestly, I'm not sure what the show's about anymore. In the first season you followed Joe, a stalker with a mysterious background, as he strategically removed the ayre of his infatuation's support system. However, the second season sees Joe as a Dexter-like serial killer who's just trying to find love again (ironically with someone named Love) and willing to kill anyone who stands in his way, sometimes in happenstancial clumsiness. The show's ludicrous plot points and character development seem out of place for what they had initially created, a sharp, intelligent thriller. Honestly, it feels as though the different scenarios are played more for chuckles. There's no better a moment to tell how intelligent showrunners and writers believe their audience must be than this example. In an exchange between Joe and a few other characters they reveal to him that to be a "true Angelino" you must witness seven totems and explain what each are. As the episode carries on each of the totems show up. But rather than leave that as a fun Easter egg, the showrunners and writers feel compelled to point it out to you, ya know, in case you didn't catch it. Not good writing. Hopefully season 3 gets better.

Absolutely excellent, thrilling and sometimes shocking POV from a incredibly layered, complex and sometimes likeable protagonist, with some help this time from an equally complex character.

The LA setting was so over the top cliché, it had me rolling my eyes constantly. Also, it becomes harder and harder to tolerate Joe. I mean he's not meant to be someone we emphasise with (...right?), but having a main character that you actively loath and get creeped out by constantly makes this a really hard watch. Haven't bothered to watch the next seasons yet.
EDIT: I just looked at the summary of season 3 and noticed that I HAVE in fact, bothered to watch it, it just purged itself from my mind right after watching it, apparently.

Season 2 of YOU takes what's great about the first season and adds more stakes, more depth and emotion to the characters, making the viewer more intrigued into the lives of the other people around Joe & his lover, this season overall took what was amazing about the first season, expanded on it with more sub plots, without any of them feeling any less important to the story. Every sub plot fits nicely into leading us to the big twists at the end of the season while also giving us more background on the protagonist & making us care about all these characters & not knowing who you want to live or die. Overall, YOU Season 2, raised its horizons, & made this entry more emotional, suspenseful, intense, & made the viewers more interested & scared for the characters without the show getting boring or feeling slow. Season 2 gets an A+
