YOU

Joe finally returned home. There is nothing like having the finale season at home. A New York ending would suit such a character, and it did. I am still not sure if the conclusion of this series, which has shaken the audience left and right for four seasons, occasionally increasing the dose of the game with twists and turns, relieved me, or if I wanted it to continue. What I feel more is that a lot of nonsense entered the final scenario. Apart from the last word, I guess it did not satisfy me enough. Like most of you, I expected a more surprising and confusing ending. I can say that Penn Badgley did more than in the last four seasons. He increased the excitement of the final episode by accelerating the peaceful murders full of mercy. Actually, we must admit that we did not like a loving husband or father figure Joe, in this series. We were dragged after the obsessive, sociopathic, sneaky character. From my perspective, I started the first season for Elizabeth Lail, but I became addicted to the dynamics of the series in the second season. The audience wanted a clear chaos. They wanted to see a more deceitful, more ruthless, more sick character, and I think they got what they wanted. They got it because the series managed to stay relevant for five seasons without slowing down. Joe Goldberg was a cool killer. Sometimes we felt sorry for him, empathized with him. Sometimes we said whatever came to our minds because he killed innocent people, but at the end of the day, he kept making himself seen. We didn't see him as a malicious serial killer targeting women. He always had an excuse for this. However, he wouldn't end up as a hero or an ordinary person. Although I found more than one absurdity in the final scenario, Joe ended up in prison. I guess the best way for the writers was to condemn him to a lifetime of loneliness without being loved. Joe went to prison, the others to their graves. Frankly, we're all back for a more confusing ending. Fans, including myself, were hoping for a return to the tense, addictive energy that made the early seasons so compelling. Now that the final episode has arrived, it delivers a mix of excitement, uneven pacing, sharp commentary, and a conclusion that's as polarizing as it is thought-provoking. On the other hand, I have to give the series its due; still, I'm glad I have this series. And then there's the last line of the last episode, which has been on my mind for the last two days. Who knows, maybe it's a necessary reminder for all of us. I think it's worth thinking about it. Joe: “It’s unfair, putting all of this on me. Aren’t we all just products of our environment? Hurt people hurt people. I never stood a chance… Maybe we have a problem as a society. Maybe we should fix what’s broken within us. Maybe the problem isn’t me. Maybe it’s you.”
