Each season of the Netflix Penn Badgley series is ranked

There are basic spoilers for all 5 seasons “you”.

After five seasons, February “You” is coming to the end. Based on (partly) on Caroline’s books “You” started your life for life before making a jump in Netflix, where fans simply couldn’t get enough Joe Goldberg, a very beautiful, very literate man who is also a serial killer. Turning is that Joe doesn’t see herself in this way. In Joe’s eyes, he is a star of his own current rum, and his inevitable sacrifices are the chances of true love. He is the type of man who describes himself as a “cute guy” if they are anything.

With all your shortcomings, “you” handle the demonstration of how people can be linked into a sense of comfort from manipulative, abusive sociopaths, especially when they are beautiful white guys with a winning smile. The secret of the success of the show is the Peng Badgl star, which has an extremely difficult job. Like Joe, Badli should be very cute/compassionate while also Being a monster. It shoots it extremely good. There are long sections of the show where we just can’t like and punch Joe – and suddenly something (like, say, a secret box containing stolen panties and a jar of teeth, thwarted from the mouth of the corpse) will lead us to crash and remind us that Yep, with all his abominations.

With the “You” 5 season, which brought the end of the show, I went ahead and ranked each season, including the new final season, from the worst to the better. And although I already warned you above let me do it again to be safe: Basic spoilers follow.

“You” season 5 is now broadcast on Netflix.

After killing his wife and abandoning the child (more about these characters), Joe Goldberg approaches his death and escapes to the UK, where he believes Jonathan Moore, a professor of English, who works at a chic university. The idea of ​​relocating Joe through the body of water, theoretically, and, frankly, Joe/Peng Badley looks very good with his beard. But the “you” season 4 goes to some really inappropriate places and almost never finds its basis.

Joe is turning into something with a stunning detective when he tries to release the identity of a “rich killer”, a serial killer, focusing on a group of wealthy friends he met. But ah, there is whopper of twist: Joe made a full break with reality! We will find out Джо This is actually “Eat the Richer Killer”, and he made an imaginary friend in the form of Rhys Montrose (ED Speleers), a popular author that is running for Mary London to take the guilt. And yes, in his mad, Joe also completely forgot that he closed Marien (Tattz Gabriel), the object of his commitment/obsession from the 3rd season, in his permanent cells of Plecoxes, which he always managed to have with him, no matter where he goes.

“Everything that happened is actually the fruit of the protected mind of the main character!” It is one of the most lazy tropes in all fiction, and he gets into a serious stupid stupid. The only bright place in the season is 4 – Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Richie), a wealthy, morally complex woman who begins to hate the gut Joe before eventually defeat his spells. Greg Kinero also has a short but cheerful turn, as an unnoticed and naughtically evil father Kate (Joe, after all, kills him naturally).

The final season of “You” is a little improvement in the 4 season, but it’s still a mixed bag. The part of the problem here is that season 5 feels like two seasons stuffed in one, as if the writers had the idea of ​​the sixth season, but it was necessary to break it all for one big finale.

In the first section of the 5th season Joe is still in New York, married to Kate and reunited his young son Henry. We find out that for several years went without incidents: Joe did not kill anyone, and he used his new wealth (through Kate) to buy the bookstore in which he grew. But Joe is the creature of the habit, and soon everything goes out of the rails. On the one hand, Kate who knows that Joe is a killer (though it seems, despite how many killings he actually committed), he is largely gaining his husband to kill one of his opponents. It causes a marriage gap, and soon Kate begins to realize how dangerous and forced Joe in fact.

In the midst of all this, Joe finds himself with a new “romantic” obsession: Bronte playwright (Madlin Brevier). Halfway the season’s season throws out an interesting turn: Bronte is pretending to be in love with Joe because she suspects that Joe is a killer (she is, of course) and wants to put her crimes as revenge for the 1 season Beck (more than her below).

So far so well. But the last season comes across when the bronte makes approximately the face and suddenly begins to believe Joe is innocent. For the sake of justice, I get what writers go here: showing us how intelligent people can manipulate violent people and start justifying them. Bronte has tons of indirect evidence that Joe is a serial killer but she still After all, it still falls, and this is not such an external idea (after all, even in real serial killers like Ted Bandi, there were groups). But he still ringing falsely and makes the bronte look like independent.

Fortunately, the final episodes set things correctly. The bronte comes to her feelings and promises to stop Joe once and for all trapped it. Joe ended up being removed in much It is uncomfortable and landed in prison where it belongs. It’s a suitable end, but in the final season too much subplete for your own good. But hey, Anna Camp will eventually become a real highlight of the season, playing a couple of sisters that cross the Joe’s way.

The first season of “You” is in the middle of the rating. This is a good job creating the world of the show, but also has some rough patches. This is this season, we met with Joe Goldberg, the type of guy who believes he is an hopeless romantic but who is actually A scary stalker. Joe looks at the beautiful student Beck (Elizabeth Layle) and immediately fell. Does he say so. Joe’s ideas that “love” is actually a little more perverted than an average, mentally stable person, and soon Joe pursues Beck and finds ways to insert himself into his life.

Both were in a relationship, while Beck remains almost completely unaware of the true nature of Jo-as the fact that he just killed her leap guy. Joe tries to fight the one who and what he is, as the season is promoted, and this first season does a good job, deceiving the audience to sympathize with Joe to a certain extent … just pull out the carpet from -under us and reveal that, despite the fact that Joe has some sympathetic qualities, he still ended up. While the shocking gloomy finale glues to the planting, getting there, there is a little uneven-bombardment about the best friend Beck, annoyingly said peach (playing Shey Mitchell), eats too much time and grows tedious, and this season there are many moments when it feels like the show.

The best character on “you” – it’s not Joe Goldberg – it’s love kuin, Plays “The Haunting of Hill House”, Victoria Pedrati’s breakthrough. In 2 season Joe fled to New York and found himself in Los -Angeles, where he was friends with his perfect teenage neighbor (Played in front of Stardom Jenna Ortega!) and falls on the heels for the bizarre heir supermarket of Kuin’s love. Joe is also friends love really The annoying brother is forty (James Skali).

In most seasons 2, we believe that the show goes by the same formula as the 1 season: Joe meets the woman, grows obsessed with her, and eventually kill her. But in the show very smart twist the sleeve for the second season: we find out that love is as destroyed as Joe and this is she intentionally manipulating the situation to Joe fall in love with her. Love is so committed to Joe that she is even ready to kill for him several times, including the murder justified by the vengeful former girl Candas (Ambyr Childers).

If Joe realizes love is no A sweet, innocent girl he thought she, his immediate reaction – try to kill her. But love remains his hand when she reveals that she is pregnant with her child – forcing Joe to settle down and move in the suburbs with love and create a family. It completely pushes the formula, and the 2 season feels even darker than 1 season, in how it attracts us deeper into the hard world of Joe. Adding love ultimately raises the show because Pedrety is just so damn.

“You” 2 The season may have been presented by Kuin’s love, but the 3rd season is where it really shines. Because most of the season 2 tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the motivation of love, Victoria Pedrety had to play a little. In the 3rd season, when Joe (and the audience) is now aware of what love is capable of, he really cuts free and leaning on the darker, humiliated side of love. Season 3 also almost immediately does not give in to our expectations: the 2 season has ended Joe seemingly getting into old habits, growing overgrown with a new neighbor. You might think that the 3rd season will be about his sights on her. But instead, love learns what’s going on and just kills a poor neighbor before Joe can really get started.

In addition, Joe and love now have a child – a son named Henry. And although the show wisely contains the baby as much as possible (in the television show you can only do so much that causes Joe’s father adding a great wrinkle. 3 Season also perfectly demonstrates how much self -destruction. He found a seemingly ideal partner: a fellow, fully devoted to him. Marien (Tatti Gabriel). Kuin’s love.
