Netflix You sees the end of serial killer Joe Goldberg
FOR years, bookstore manager Joe Goldberg has been unstoppable. Despite various attempts to hold him accountable for his inconceivable crimes, the Netflix resident serial killer always got away without facing any consequences. 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. As the season starts, we see Joe in a three-year marriage to billionaire Kate Lockwood, who serves as the CEO of T.R. Lockwood Corporation. 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. She learns that his instincts to kill come from a place of desire and not spawned from an inclination to protect as he had previously claimed. Her suspicions are further justified when a new woman named Bronte enters his life. Joe is therefore left to navigate on his own, as his new reality begins to endanger his life in New York City. Justice served hot 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. Showrunners Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo provide viewers closure, giving Joe a satisfying yet realistic send-off. The overdue justice is a cinematic treat for viewers who have kept up with Joe's shenanigans since season one. 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. Instead of getting lost in his twisted version of romance, viewers are made to pay extra attention to his violent and misogynistic ways. Is violence hereditary? Joe's six-year-old son Henry is not exempted from this analysis. Considering his parents are murderers, it is natural to ponder how Henry will turn out. 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. The discussion plays out through Henry's character development this season. The take provided the season with an intellectual edge, as the discussion enriched its conversation surrounding the cycle of male violence and misogyny. Twins for win As for worthy performances, actress Anna Camp reigns on top. Her portrayal of twins Reagan and Maddie Lockwood was among the highlights of the entire TV series. 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. Erasure of Love Quinn 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. While other characters make brief appearances, Love is only mentioned during conversations and featured in past clips despite her significance. Even in promotional posters, she is erased. Her appearance could have strengthened the season's emotional impact, providing a deeper insight into Joe's psyche and relationship with women. Additionally, it could have provided a proper ending to Joe's relationship with Love. This is because we never got to see him dissect and grieve their relationship after her death in season 3. Unnecessary additions Therefore, it was careless to recruit new characters when there was so much to play with existing ones. Characters from the previous seasons could have had a more significant role in bringing Joe down. 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.

Netflix's "You" Just Ended After Five Seasons, So Here's What Happened To Joe Goldberg
It's the end of a TV era on Netflix. After five seasons, You has officially come to an end. So, whether you watched every episode or you fell off somewhere along the way, here's what happened to Joe Goldberg and some fan-favorite characters at the very end: 🚨 There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead! 🚨 Sherry Conrad After being locked in Joe's cage by Love Quinn in Season 3, Sherry appears in the final season in a video after Joe is caught on a livestream murdering Clayton, who is the son of Dr. Nicky Angevine from Season 1. Conrad Sherry's husband, Cary, appears in the video with her. After writing a book about escaping the cage, the duo has become bestselling authors, and they plug their book while talking about how they always knew Joe Goldberg was a bad guy. Paco was last seen in Season 1, when he was one of Joe's neighbors in NYC. He's one of only a few characters that Joe has shown actual kindness towards. In the final season, Paco appears in a video talking about Joe after the livestream of him killing Clayton goes viral. He mentions how Joe saved him and his mom from his mom's abusive boyfriend. Ethan, Joe's former coworker at Mooney's from Season 1, also appears in a video talking about Joe after the livestream of Clayton's murder goes viral. Despite them being friends in Season 1, he immediately says that he "makes it a practice" of believing the victims, and speaks out against Joe. Atwater Annika appeared in Season 1 as one of Peach and Beck's best friends, who maintained that Joe definitely killed Peach. Like the characters above, Annika appears in a video discussing how Joe was likely involved in Peach's death after the video of him killing Clayton goes viral. Lockwood Introduced in the final season, Reagan is Kate's sister and is the cutthroat CFO of the T.R. Lockwood Corporation. After Reagan continuously tries to undermine Kate, talks ill about Joe, and talks openly about Love Quinn, Joe decides to kidnap Reagan and lock her in the cage. Kate also reveals to Joe that she knows about two murders that he committed. After going to the office and kidnapping Reagan, Joe then realizes that he actually kidnapped her twin sister, Maddie, instead. With a bit of needling from Joe, Maddie ultimately kills Reagan after Joe continuously points out how her sister does not respect her, etc. Lockwood After Joe accidentally kidnaps Maddie — because Maddie was actually sleeping with Reagan's husband Harrison — he eventually convinces her to kill her sister and assume her identity. Due to Maddie's unyielding trust in Joe, she does just that and even resigns Reagan's position at the Lockwood Corporation. As the season continues, Maddie struggles with what she did to Reagan, and while trying to continue the lie, Harrison eventually figures things out. Although Joe and Maddie try to convince him to stay quiet about Reagan's death, Joe frames him for the murder. In the very end, the charges against Harrison are dropped, and Maddie is ultimately tried for Reagan's murder and arson (more on that later). She didn't serve time, went to rehab, and officially got together with Harrison, and they are expecting twins. Fareedi Nadia first appeared in Season 4 as one of Joe's students while he was living in London under the name Jonathan Moore. Joe ultimately frames Nadia for a murder he committed. When the final season begins, Nadia is in prison. However, after Kate decides that she's going to end Joe once and for all, she uses her power, influence, and money to get Nadia out of jail so that she can help Kate imprison Joe for his crimes. In the very end, Nadia begins writing again and becomes a teacher. She also returns to the prison where she served to teach her former fellow inmates. Bellamy After Joe thinks she is dead, Marienne returns in the final season after Kate and Nadia tell her they are trying to take down Joe. She appears in Mooney's basement after Joe has been locked in the cage. While Nadia and Kate tend to Joe, Marienne has a conversation with Bronte, Joe's love interest and new target in the final season. She explains how Joe is a very bad guy and everything he has done to her and others. In the end, Marienne returns to making art. Lockwood At the end of Season 4, Kate and Joe get married and move from London to NYC so that Kate can run the Lockwood Corporation. Similar to Joe's other love interests, eventually Kate starts to see the darkness within Joe, and while he tries to get her to accept it, she flat-out denies him. This starts a tug of war between Kate and Joe that encompasses most of the final season, with Kate vowing to figure out a way to send Joe to prison. Kate begins to investigate Joe and learns about Marienne, and she begins to suspect that he killed Love Quinn. After Joe is arrested for killing Clayton, she tricks him into signing custody papers so she can take Henry. While in London, Kate gets Nadia out of prison to assist in taking down Joe, with the duo eventually getting him in the cage in the basement of Mooney's. However, while down there, Maddie sets fire to the bookstore, causing Kate and Joe to be trapped downstairs — oh, Joe escapes the cage by hiding a key INSIDE HIS ARM. Joe is ultimately rescued, while Kate is left to die in the fire. Ultimately, Kate survives the Mooney's fire and turns over the Lockwood Corporation to Teddy, her brother, who turns it into a nonprofit. She goes back to her first love of art and works alongside Marienne. Goldberg After Joe leaves Henry, his and Love's son, with neighbors in Season 3, he returns in the final season and lives with Joe and Kate. In the beginning of the final season, Henry has an altercation with Reagan and Harrison's daughter at school, after he learns some not-so-great things about his real mom, Love. Eventually, while trying to imprison Joe, Kate takes Henry to London and has custody of him, and the last thing he tells Joe is that he thinks he's a monster. In the end, Kate and Henry live happily ever after as an adorable little family. Flannery/Bronte Bronte, aka Louise Flannery, is the final girl in Season 5. She first appears as someone who Joe catches breaking into Mooney's, which he now owns. And he's immediately infatuated with her, thus becoming the object of his desire for the final 10 episodes. As the season progresses, we learn that Bronte was actually a student and friend of Guinevere Beck. For the last few years, following Beck's murder, Bronte has been searching for Joe, and gets in touch with Clayton and two of his friends, to try and figure out a way to take down Joe. While they investigate Joe for years, they stop after his apparent death, only to see his return to society with Kate. This leads Bronte to seek Joe out using a fake name, thinking she can make him fall in love with her. Joe's fascination with Bronte is what leads to him confronting Clayton and murdering him, with Bronte even taking Joe's side in the whole mess, which leads to him being released from jail. After Joe is locked in the cage by Kate, Nadia, and Marienne, Bronte must make a decision about her relationship with Joe. She's the one who saves him from the fire at Mooney's and decides that being close to him is the only way to end Joe Goldberg once and for all. In the series finale, while away at a cabin together, Bronte makes her move. She demands to know how he killed Beck, with Joe ultimately trying to kill Bronte. While fleeing, she calls 911, and the cops show up, as Bronte and Joe fight in the woods. Goldberg Hello, you. Joe Goldberg ultimately gets the justice he deserves. After fighting with Bronte in the woods, she shoots him (in the penis for added karma) and the cops arrest him. He is charged with the murders of Love Quinn and Guinevere Beck, with more allegations and convictions following. He's sentenced to life in prison. In the final minutes of the series, Joe is reading in his jail cell, and reads fan mail he's been receiving. He determines that he is not the problem, but society is. finally, Guinevere Beck Justice is ultimately served as Joe is arrested for Beck's murder. Following his sentencing, Bronte decides to rewrite Beck's book, taking out all of the parts Joe wrote and added in following her death. It's an even bigger success than the original version. Well, there you have it! The end of an era. What did you think of the final season of You? Tell us everything in the comments below!

‘You' Season 5 series review: Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg swims gleefully in a crimson tide
After the horrors in the Old Blighty in Season 4, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) has returned home to New York. Told over five seasons and 50 episodes beginning in 2018, You, based on on Caroline Kepnes' book series, tells the story of a well read book store owner, whose endless search for true love invariably ends in murder. Season 5 sees Joe married to the fabulously wealthy Kate (Charlotte Ritchie), who has managed to smooth over all his murderous deeds, bought his beloved bookstore, Mooney's, and got Joe's son, Henry (Frankie DeMaio) back into the family fold. You Season 5 (English) Creator: Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo Cast: Penn Badgley, Charlotte Ritchie, Griffin Matthews, Anna Camp and Madeline Brewer Episodes: 10 Runtime: 45-50 minutes Storyline: Joe Goldberg returns to New York City to live a peaceful life, but the appearance of a woman, Bronte, and the need to satisfy his darkest needs will put his entire life in danger The golden couple are paparazzi darlings and Joe is living a fulfilled life till naturally everything begins to fall apart. Kate is the CEO of the infinitely wealthy and equally shady T.R. Lockwood Corporation. She wants to buy good karma by donating enormous sums of money to charitable causes much to the dismay of board members including her wicked half sister Reagan (Anna Camp). Reagan's twin, Maddy (Camp in a double role) is a thrice divorced socialite, in something that is 'vaguely PR', and the ultimate party girl. Kate's half brother Teddy (Griffin Matthews), who was ignored by the Lockwoods for being born on the wrong side of the blanket, is an ally to Joe and Kate. When family friend Uncle Bob (Michael Dempsey) leaks some damaging information to the media and plots a no-confidence motion against Kate with Reagan, Joe finds his dark side rising to the challenge. Joe writes out his murderous fantasies at Mooney's on a typewriter (pretentious no?) till he does not, which Joe gleefully says is a resurrection and feels fantastic. In the midst of all the uproar at Chez Lockwood, Joe meets a fascinating book thief, or rather borrower, called Bronte (Madeline Brewer). The literary allusions come thick and fast as Joe almost brains Bronte with a bust of Emily Dickinson. Against his better judgement, Joe hires Bronte and gets drawn into her life as a struggling playwright. He also meets Bronte's quirky friends, Clayton (Tom Francis), Dominique (Natasha Behnam) and Phoenix (b). When it rains, it pours and soon Joe is juggling many balls, from Henry attacking Reagan's daughter at school to putting the wrong twin in his reassembled glass cage, all the while fighting the attraction he feels for Bronte. Ghosts from murders past including Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), Marienne (Tati Gabrielle), and Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman) refuse to stay buried. Season 5 dabbles with themes and concerns of the books including the distorted truths of social media and romance novels, particularly the romantasy sub-genre. Badgley dives into his 'soft boy misogynist/control hungry goblin' role with gusto even as the 10 episodes fly by in a flurry of great-looking clothes and homes, clichés and scenery-chewing lines with every character, including Joe, getting a fairly satisfactory conclusion to their arcs.
