TV Series Review: “You” (Season 2)
by Natasha Maya
Note: This is a spoiler-free review.
You: a series that makes me feel somewhat like a creep. Although I – a perfectly normal, sane person (I swear) – is against the idea of stalking and murdering, I can’t help but love the premise of this series.

Say what you like about Japan, they sure know their stuff when it comes to convenience stores.
