You on Netflix, based on The Fall !?

Just noticed this and it looks like the plot is taken from The Fall (which was excellent). Is it a similar thing? Penn Badgley even looks a bit like Jamie Dornan (but not as handsome)
Anybody watched it. Looking for something that is not quite the usual American fare.

I watched all of You this week. At first I was a bit like Hmm because of the narration but I really got into it and definitely gasped/jumped a lot at points 😄 must have been alright if I watched it all in a week.

I watched it and I could not stop was really good

I don't think it's really like The Fall... Nonetheless I really enjoyed it and watched the whole series quickly. It's quite "teen" like (think Gossip Girl/Pretty Little Liars etc) but is definitely suitable for adult viewers as there is quite a bit of sex, violence and murder!

Give it a go - I'm glad there will be a season 2.

I haven't watched the Fall but I have read the book You that it's based on. I didnt love the book but I've started watching the programme and getting quite into it.

Nothing like The Fall

Utterly compulsive viewing SO addictive

I would never have compared them, to be honest. The One is much more of a dark comedy.

Ok thanks! I didn't want to watch the same thing all over again with a different American cast. I'll start watching it later.

Yesss! I thought he looked like Jamie Dornan, mentioned it to my friend and she was like 'no he doesn't...' 😂😂

Glad someone else agrees with me!

It's like Dexter!

Fleabag123 · 12/01/2019 15:57

Does that mean if I liked You I should watch The Fall?
I’m also reading (well, listening to) the audiobook of You so I can then listen to the sequel Hidden Bodies, I presume series 2 will be based on this

LAlady · 12/01/2019 15:57

I've watched both and it's not like The Fall at all.

Howdoyoudoit31 · 12/01/2019 15:59

I watched You last week.

I didn’t think it was that good. A bit boring.

BartonHollow · 12/01/2019 16:15

@Fleabag123

The first series of The Fall was outstanding and after that it somewhat fell off a cliff but still worth watching

Rio18 · 14/01/2019 13:19

It's actually a book by Caroline Kepnes (there's a prequel or sequel too and they are brilliant books.

Traveler001 · 15/01/2019 04:00

@wendycope that’s exactly what I thought! It does have some similarities to Dexter. I liked it but I didn’t like the book.
