I’m so sad y’all don’t understand the show and season 4, I feel like respectfully everything went over your guys’s heads and you watched for the wrong reasons
The show likens magic like a drug. As shown by Hannah, Kady’s mother and Julia’s spiral in season one. On one of the advertisements for the show they say “Magic is a drug.”
Everyone keeps to mention the Soviet Union and aay that it's a poor reflection of it. I thought The Regime is supposed to be the Russian Federation and the main characteris Putin.
I love this cartoon with all my heart it formed me as a person. I used to wake up at 8 on Saturdays and Sundays when i was little just to watch the two episodes Rai gulp gave. I knew some history facts and names just thanks to Huntik and with my sister we used to pretend to have titans. It has been 10 years and i still watch it, daydreaming about a videogame based on it…. Sometimes i just wish it becomes popular thanks to tiktok really
When I started watching YOU I accidentally started from season 4 and I gotta tell you that it was so good that it became my favourite season out of all seasons.
I don’t know if the change in thumbnail design is intentional, but it feels a bit too similar to Friendly space ninja’s thumbnails. Not saying he owns that style of thumbnail, but I feel it’s a bit misleading.
People don’t like deep stories when you have to think or deconstruct plot and deeper world building. More action, effects and less talking.ni always compare Alive in the Borderland v.s Squid Game as an example.
I'd say Elite should have 5 seasons in the series, because Samuel's death is a good closing for the end of the story. But season 8 is great, more intense in the entire series 😳 this one gives me the serial killer aspect and does have a shocking ending in the episode finale. I definitely added this final season as an ending after season 5. Ignore and skip 6 and 7, I make believe these two don't exist.
Satire needs a target. And the best satires attack that target repeatedly. I caught that this was not a comedy, not a satire. Just an amalgamation by committee of timid writers. This show had no balls.
this show is way too good to be ignored. still don't understand why it's not as popular as The Vampire Diaries or Supernatural that are in a somewhat same genre. maybe people just don't have taste. I miss Margo every day.
This was my ALL TIME favorite show and I was devastated when it ended. Like I lost my best friend 😢 which is weird cuz I never feel that way from a show. But after the show ended, I got the books and read them lmao. I still miss this group.
18:55 I know a couple of dictatorships who do care about the words in the Constitution like the term limits. Too bad they just change them on a whim or pull some stunt to avoid following it

Finally! Thank you for this, I was wondering/hoping if I'd end up being the first to do a big ol' essay on one of my (almost) favorite shows on here or if someone would beat me to it - and I'm grateful you did<3
People should be noticing a trend over the last 10-15 years that is very unsettling. An ever increasing drama of class elitism, family dynasties taking the law into their own hands, monarchy, succession, world domination without the 50-60-70s evil tropes, secret societies, fanciful talents. All of this suggests a very unpleasant toppling of the new world order, by the old world order that led to millions of deaths for what exactly?
Since we couldn't get a perfect happy ending, with all the loose ends tied up, the closing scene was perfect for this. It was kinda jarring seeing middle class people in public school in contrast to the cast, they all looked ridiculously overdressed, wherein this was their normal outfits for 8 seasons.
i’m still so mad that they had a character like quentin who struggles with anxiety and depression throughout the entire series commit suicide and then frame it as him saving his friends. it’s like the showrunners completely forgot about the story they were telling. the books did a much better job with q’s journey. this line from the second book makes me so emotional: “this is life, he kept saying to himself. that was being dead, and this is being alive. that was death, this is life. i will never confuse them again.”
So many people here keep on calling it boring due to them not being too interested in politics. I'm a 28 year old man that is not one that is interested I never was bored with it at all. Heck, I never even knew it was supposed to be a satire or anything, nor did i see it as duch. In fact as was genuinely interested in seeing how this whole thing goes and was captivated in it more than I was with others that came a bit before and after it like that despicable disaster that was that True Detective revival. But like that show, the ending for this really soured my opinion of the show as it ended up making that all that duo was trying to do completely pointless by committing to Elena's selfishness at the end and then some. It was what lead me to not want to rewatch it yet, again unlike Night Country, it wasn't something I regretted watching at all in the first place
Looking at his argument on why this doesn't make sense as a regime up to the 19:45 mark on this segment, I just figured out that this is a regime that completely function as the United States, our politicians do what Elena does with social media here and some still have a significantly high approval rating considering thier misleadership. Ultimately, this wouldn't make sense to Europeans because you don't deal with this type of propaganda at you corner of the world.
I feel that the writers and producers had to make the topic of a "Regime" and what a regime is with superficial with a wink and a nod simply because if they went any deeper then that when talking about the inner workings of what a regime is then they would have to overly address the Geopolitical elephant in the room that is the United States of America.
It also is going to struggle to find a new following because it's only streaming on the premium tier on Netflix. This show would be a cult sensation by now if it were available to a larger audience without the doubled-up paywall.
I've watched the entire series from beginning to end over 25 times. Each time, I learn something new. There are layers and layers of meaning, metaphor, parallelism, psychology, simile, and comparison. Move beyond the superficiality of a plot and storyline. "Magic comes from pain" is why Dean Fogg yells at Quentin "Do some God Damn magic!" The entire series is this way. Everything is something of a message with deep meaning and purpose.
