We have seen him stalk, harass and murder almost all his female love interests, yet he walks free every time. That is until the latest and final season of You.
Thanks to her influence, Joe lives a peaceful life in New York City without having to compromise his identity. Things are well and good until Kate notices the cracks in her marriage to Joe.
Joe is therefore left to navigate on his own, as his new reality begins to endanger his life in New York City.
For the first time, Joe faces the music. No longer is he able to run from the consequences of his actions as he did in the previous four seasons. While he is still able to charm his way out of certain situations, this season sees him meet his karmic end.
What is more rewarding is that Joe is finally stripped of his moral superiority. Viewers get a clearer perspective of who he is and the harm he has caused to others.
Is violence hereditary?
Will he follow in the footsteps of his murderous parents? Or will he be the one to break the cycle in his family? You answers this by delicately playing around the argument of nature versus nurture.
Twins for win
Her portrayal of Maddie, specifically, was worthy of applause. It was evident that Camp got to sink her teeth into both roles. Her range and calibre as an actress were utilised more than her previous roles in projects such as Pitch Perfect, Glee and The Help.
You, however, messed up with its treatment of Love Quinn. Given her role as Joe’s late wife and Henry’s biological mother, it was disappointing to see that she was not included in the final season.
Her appearance could have strengthened the season’s emotional impact, providing a deeper insight into Joe’s psyche and relationship with women.
Unnecessary additions
Now, after five seasons, You comes to an end. Years of torment and murder finally caught up with Joe, putting him behind bars for good. Though it does not compensate for the lives he took, justice is finally served.
Society and his loved ones see him for what he truly is – not a misunderstood white knight but a misogynistic serial killer – one that we are glad to get rid of and move on from. Farewell Joe Goldberg.
