Good story
Addictive
Omg!
I watched the whole 1st series in two days.
Wasn't expecting much from this but I was hooked after the first 10 minutes.
Joe seems like a normal guy meeting a girl at first but it gets really creepy really quick. Not only is he watching her through the window he also has access to her iCloud so can see every conversation between her family and friends.
Can't wait for a second series to see how it continues now his Ex is back.

Absolutely stunning show. I loved it as much as the book. Normally I tend to prefer the book over the tv show/movie but I thought this was well done.

Creepy
Twists and turns
Stalking through the eyes of the stalker!
Joe is just an ordinary man who works in a book store - or that is was he wants everyone to think.

Joe becomes fixated with women, and uses modern technology to stalk them, strategically placing himself in their way in order to get them to notice him, whilst at the same time getting rid of the opposition (literally). The series has him following Beck, an aspiring writer.

The cast was well picked, with particular credit to Penn Badgley, who plays Joe- who makes a really believable butter wouldn’t melt book guy, frequently turning into psychopathic killer!

The script uses dark humour very well, which add a little light heartedness into an otherwise very dark story. It is also truest scary from a personal perspective, as to how much information Joe is able to use form people’s fb/ twitter (e.t.c.) accounts!

What I particularly enjoyed about this show, was that it is primarily shown through the perspective of Joe, an unusual twist, as on one side we really want to support Joe (being the main character), and we are forced to try to empathise with him, however, deep down, we know that he is a truest dark character.

I do hope that there will be a second series of this.

LOVED IT!!!!!
Found this on Netflix and gave it a try. I was hooked after the first episode and binge watched all the way through. I love the thoughts from Joe's head giving reasonings for killing and kidnapping.... the way it comes across I often found myself thinking "I can see his point" and found myself rooting for the bad guy.....not sure what this says about me🤣🤔. Definitely worth a watch and I will be re-watching.

Amazing!
I first started watching this on Netflix and I could not stop! You think it's just some stalker that is interested in this girl and it's a bit creepy, but then he takes it to another level and follows every aspect of her life.
Then they meet, and it all changes.

I did binge watch this and would recommend this. I didn't think it was going to count for much but it got to the end and I wanted more.

I really don't want to spoil at all so I will end this short on saying this is the best show I have watched in a long time... The way the show starts, the middle, the end..it's just fantastic.

Love the psycho
This is so clever. He is a psycho stalker, but you love him and are rooting for him. Brilliant.

Creepy
Really good watch, shows how a crush can become an obsession and how possessive and controlling relationships occur without the abused party realising. The story was gripping a intense a great watch with loads of twists, you were never really knew what was going to happen next

I genuinely thought this was gonna be a generic crappy series, but was pleasantly surprised at the depths it went. So creepy but also addictive to watch. Heard there is a series 2 coming soon so look forward to that.

Too creepy
I know that a lot of people have raved about it but I have to say I couldn't watch the whole series. I got to about half way through episode 4 and couldn't carry on. I was creeped out too much.
Maybe I should of persisted but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
It's a story about a (all be it very hunky) man called Joe who spots the woman of his dreams and basically stalks her until she starts dating him. I didn't make it much further before I stopped watching because it was just far far far too creepy.
