You

The show started to go off the rails after season 2, but it was all still enjoyable due to the consistently amazing performance of Penn Badgley . He is on his A-game again in season 5, but held back by an inconsistent script leading to many out of character moments for Joe. The "always one step ahead" trait of his character is here one episode, then gone the next ,which leads into the events of the final episode where us the viewers can see the twist coming miles before.

Season 5 started off with a good premise with a few twists ,that will be predictable to many, but were still entertaining to watch. Around the midpoint it started to lose its footing but came back with a great episode 8 and 9, which should have been the finale. Instead Episode 10 took a different direction with a narrative switch which didn't feel deserved, and multiple retcons that felt cheap. While it doesn't ruin the whole series like other shows final seasons have , it's sad to see it go out on such a low note, with so much wasted potential and storylines still left unfinished. A few series characters are brought back but add virtually nothing to the story and are mostly used as nostalgia bait, contributing to the feeling of this season being rushed. The best way I can summarise season 5 is that it's a good season (with many high points) but a very bad final season, lacking the finality this show deserved.

Goodbye, you.

First 3 seasons were amazing. I loved it. S4 is just so boring. I really want to like it but all the characters are so unlikeable and the storyline is awful. Kate as the love interest?? . I just didn't get it. To go from the other women he was obsessed with to her makes no sense what so ever!. She had no redeeming qualities at all and had the personality of a mop.

Im Only on episode 6 and and would really love to finish what I started but I find myself drifting off or looking at my Phone and that's when I know it's lost on me.

I hope there is a s5 and it's back in the USA and has more interesting characters because this is utter gash!.

Season 1 was okay, entertainable. Didn't like Beck at all though.

Season 2 is more mature and Love is a great character (great actress). The season is more thrilling and the story isn't that cheesy. Really enjoyed it!

I watched this without expectation. I hadn't heard of the book. I hadn't seen any previews or descriptions. What i found was a pleasantly dark show. It's uncomfortable and unpredictable and has what is hopefully an amazing story to tell from a unique perspective.

We're put into the head of a stalker who seems to be a hair's width away from violence. The tension is held well.

But what REALLY made it feel uncomfortable for me was a rather odd choice from the network. Swearing is censored out. There are these conspicuous blanks in the dialogue. It had me obsessing. When you've got a show this dark, who the hell do they think they're going to offend with a little swearing? Are they expecting kids to be up watching it? It's content is far more offensive than swearing could ever be.

Apart from that one VERY annoying point, it's a brilliantly put together show. I'm looking forward to watching more (though I'll probably find myself swearing at the TV about the missing dialogue).

The story really does shift this season-everything about it feels different.

But how? Well, let me recall some of the things that gave me this feeling, without spoilers AS MUCH AS I CAN.

This season has the worst female character Joe has ever loved in all seasons... she is so dumb!

Joe this season isn't the same. He's not even trying to think. You just listen to his nonsense...no good internal monologues anymore, forever!

He's just an ordinary killer now, like a teenager who can't control his lust.

Bad logic... Joe lives his new life like nothing in the past ever happened.

There are a lot of wasted elements and a lot of characters who aren't used in a meaningful way.

They try to paint a good picture of a "strong woman" who supposedly helped stop this predator, but she literally helps him kill people she dislikes.

Well, I'm sorry for whoever liked this season, but it feels like a completely different show. Maybe it was always like this and I changed.
