After five blood-soaked seasons spanning New York, Los Angeles, London, and back again, Netflix's hit psychological thriller You has reached its conclusion. Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg, the charming bookstore manager with a penchant for obsession, stalking, and murder, terrorized viewers and victims alike since 2018. With a staggering kill count of 23 people, Joe's dark journey has finally drawn to a close.
The finale didn't just wrap up his story—it brought him full circle, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions. From his desperate last attempts to manipulate those around him to his ultimate (Spoiler Alert) capture and imprisonment, Joe's story is tied up in a way that leaves no doubt about the show's stance on justice. As the series concludes with Joe behind bars but still unrepentant, it leaves viewers reflecting on how society enables and reacts to such twisted narratives.
