This post contains spoilers for You Season 4, Part 2.
Netflix’s You has always loved a self aware plot twist, but this one feels… let’s call it elite.
Season after season, this soapy drama has found ways to surprise its viewers with diabolical plot twists that often smash genre tropes. (Remember when Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg found out that the woman he’d stalked into a Season 2 romance, Victoria Pedretti’s Love Quinn, was actually a compulsive murderer herself?) This season, however, takes things to a new level of self awareness. Was that twist ending… a Gossip Girl reference?
