The fourth season of Netflix’s show “You” premiered on Feb. 9 and is already number one in Netflix’s Top 10 Shows in the U.S. Joe Goldberg, or now “Jonathan Moore” (played by Penn Badgley), moves to London to pursue yet another girl after murdering his wife in the previous season.

It is very clear that Joe is delusional and a stalker when it comes to the women he becomes obsessed with. Over the past three seasons, Joe runs away from his past once it starts catching up with him and wherever he ends up, he comes obsessed with a random girl. Every season, Joe has also changed his identity and tried to fit in but always fails. At the end of the third season, Joe kills his wife, Love, and leaves his child, Henry, behind in California. Joe also managed to burn down the house and fake his own death to pursue another girl, Marienne Bellamy.

So, Joe, or now Jonathan, acquires a new identity in London and poses as a professor at Darcy College. Things seem to be going smoothly until Joe himself gets a stalker. Throughout the whole season, Joe is stalked, and his friends are slowly being murdered one-by-one. Joe’s stalker, who is also the murderer, messages him through an anonymous messaging app and blackmails him by threatening to reveal his identity. Although the season is interesting, the whole new season feels like a “whodunit” film and has no connection to the previous seasons. Also, the fact that no one has arrested Joe or connected him to any of his murders is a bit unrealistic. And, in this season, Joe’s past isn’t catching up with him at all. Joe has murdered many of his exes and his exes’ love interests and it simply isn’t realistic that no one has noticed a pattern.

Love Quinn, who was Joe’s love interest throughout seasons two and three, and became a main character, was completely erased, which felt a bit rash, but leads me to my next point. Even though it was confirmed that Love died in the fire in Madre Linda, California, I do not think she is dead. Joe has done his fair share of killing and I’d like to believe that what goes around comes around. It would be very unrealistic for the show to end and for Joe to have not faced any consequences. My theory is that Love will come back and give Joe his karma. Hopefully, she executes it in a thrilling way.

“You” is a psychological thriller that follows a man who will do just about anything in the name of “love.” Joe has moved from New York to California, and now to London, always running away from his past or pursuing a girl, but I have a feeling that his luck will begin to run out in the second half of this season, premiering on Netflix on March 9, 2023.
