Per Variety, The Four Seasons racked up 11.9 million views in its first four days, which was enough to dethrone You Season 5 and take the top spot at #1, where it’s remained ever since. By contrast, the Penn Badgley thriller amassed 10.1 million views in its first four days, and just 10.9 million views in its first full week of availability.
Starring not only Carell and Fey, The Four Seasons also features Colman Domingo and Will Forte, and tells the tale of three married couples who regularly vacation together four times a year. When one of the couples decides to divorce, their decades-long friendship is put to the test. It’s a simple premise, but one that was a big hit with fans and critics, as after debuting with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s settled in nicely to its Certified Fresh rating of 77%. Paying homage to the original, Alda was even brought in for a brief cameo, and for Fey, she told USA Today that “it was a thrill to spend a day on set with him.”
‘The Four Seasons’ Highlights One of the Streaming Model’s Biggest Problems

Sure, the star power of Fey and Carell certainly helped propel The Four Seasons to where it sits now, but You managed to do what few shows have by entering the pop culture zeitgeist to become a bona fide phenomenon. Its swan song should have been major news, but after more than two years between Seasons 4 and 5, folks seemed to lose interest, and who can blame them? With so much content being doled out to viewers, it’s almost impossible to stay hyped about something you know won’t be coming back for a while, and when it does, folks can barely remember what happened.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but in this case, it just made the heart say, “meh,” and as more and more shows take years off between seasons, it’s only going to become a bigger problem. As we await to see what the future holds for streaming, you can check out both The Four Seasons and You Season 5 now on Netflix.
