    When I first saw the trailer for You on Netflix, ngl I thought it looked terrible. "No one asked for Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars!" I yelled at my laptop. But in that weird time between Christmas and New Year's, when you lose all concept of what day it is or what you should be doing, I logged onto Netflix (because what else was I gonna do), and there was You. And I thought, screw it, I'll give it a go.

    Fast forward 12 hours and I had watched the WHOLE DAMN THING. It was completely addictive and so damn compelling. Penn Badgley plays a grown-up, more violent version of Dan Humphrey and it works perfectly. This is definitely his best work to date, and I say that as someone who has watched him in that blue devil body paint on loop way too many times. The show itself is a scarily on-point exploration of toxic masculinity and the ways we are so often seduced by dangerous men. It's also incredibly campy and ridiculous and I loved every second.

    Once I was done watching it, I naturally turned to Twitter to see how other people felt about it. And here are some of my fave tweets...

    Of all the things happening in #YOU the most concerning to me is that Beck doesn’t have curtains.

    #YouNetflix lessons: 1. Close your blinds 2. Stay off social media 3. Maybe just burn your phone entirely 4. Everyone cheats 5. You’re always being followed 6. If you don’t get your way, simply resort to murder 7. A glass box in a basement is never normal 8. Karen is that bitch
