Netflix’s You offered a series shake-up when Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) decided to move back to New York after a murder spree in London — but the story might be just getting started.
During season 4, Joe initially seemed to have his darker tendencies under control as he started over yet again. The second half of the season, however, introduced the plot twist of Joe actually being responsible for the deaths he was trying to investigate.
“It has to go to this place for five episodes where it’s like, ‘Is he going to become a hero as we’ve all wanted him to?’ It doesn’t make any sense when Joe becomes a hero,” Badgley explained to British GQ in March 2023 about his character’s initial arc. “This is the only place the show could have ever gone and remain relevant, remain responsible, remain intelligent, remain sensitive, but true.”
