Badgley talks to Da Man about his new show You. Discussing its premise, Badgley shares, It’s a subversive show–somehow in a particular way that I feel I haven’t seen before. It very much plays into being exactly what you think it might be: A frothy, binge-worthy thriller where boy meets girl, boy stalks girl, starring
Gossip Girl,
no less…and it lures you in.
Continuing, Badgley adds, Then it sort of skewers you along with the concept and the social norms that support such a familiar narrative. It does so in this way that is intelligent and self-aware but not condescending to the viewer because it is also, oddly, fun. It’s nimble. The writers have done a fantastic job, and everyone else really did their part along the way because the whole thing could otherwise fall very flat.
