In the hit Netflix series, Penn Badgley embodies Joe Goldberg, a psychotic man who obsessively stalks women. He goes to extreme lengths to be the perfect guy for whoever piques his interest and asserts his dominance. Spoiler alert, season 1 ends with him killing his first victim, believing he was doing it to protect her.
You intertwines a variety of genres throughout the series. Episodes vary from romance to comedy, horror, and coming-of-age. Within these genres, we see Joe Goldberg in different ways, allowing audiences to see how easy it is for terrible men to hide behind a facade. Thus, the series showcases a commentary on toxic masculinity. When Badgley isn’t in character, he is persistent in reminding audiences that Joe is a bad person who shouldn’t be romanticized.
But after three seasons, the roles are reversing. In the new season of You, Joe Goldberg will now be the victim of a stalker.
In an attempt to escape his past, Joe moves to London to work as a literature professor and creates a new persona for himself named Jonathan Moore. However, the life he attempts to leave behind continues to haunt him halfway across the world.
Joining London’s elite social circle is better than he imagined until people within the group start to become victims of murders. There’s a new killer in town and Joe finds himself unable to ignore his history as it repeats itself before his eyes. However, the only difference is that the predator is now the prey.
Fans of You are already speculating who the season 4 killer may be. Is it someone we already know from a previous season? Is it a completely new character? We’re going to find out soon enough. Meanwhile, viewers share their theories on Twitter, excited for Joe’s stalker to be unveiled.
