Season 2 of You is on Netflix

[Anonymous]

I didn’t really like this season. Too over the top. Not sure I’ll watch another.

And please get your head checked if you think Joe will be a good dad. Seriously? On the surface he “saves” kids, but he just messes them up even more. You think Paco and Ellie are doing well and will grow up as healthy, well-adjusted adults?

I think one thing Penn Badgley does really well is make us root for him. He is kind and caring and makes you forget he’s a sociopathic killer. I have empathy for him because of his horrible childhood - so I guess he’s a really good actor.

Someone online said besides being a killer he was a really good guy lolololololol

Were he and Love married at the end? I forgot to look for a ring. And was that Love’s childhood home they were moving into?

Also - poor Ellie.

Whenever someone writes something like this about the psycho character that he plays, I can't help but think how delusional some of you must truly be IRL.

SPOILERS (which I think have already been outed upthread!):


I didn’t find the ending a surprise, although I did think we would discover that Love had stalked and killed her first husband like a Joe did to Becca. I got bored about halfway through the season, so skipped a few episodes and jumped to the final one to find out the ending and be done.

Wow. PP here. I clearly stated he was a good ACTOR because he can make you empathize with him while at the same time knowing he’s a sociopath. You do realize the show is fiction, right?

So many loose ends. How did they get rid of Candice and Delilah’s bodies? When did Forty realize Joe was the killer? He went from confiding in Joe at the hotel to hating his guts and freaking out the next day. Very weird.

Speaking of Forty, they should have had him just play a gay guy. There is no way he’s believable as straight.

Candace reiterated her story to him, forcefully. And then he went to talk to dr nicky to make sure. Once John Stamos confirmed he was Joe there wasn't much else to conclude

I find it really weird that in a rich town like LA that the Quinn's were the ones who "owned LAPD". They would have to be billionaires to earn that title, which doesn't seem plausible from owning a little store. Even an international brand of health products seems like a stretch to become a billionaire. Why wouldn't Forty and Love have trust funds? Why did Forty have to ask his dad for a measly $100k? He should have that money himself, being the son of the man who apparently has SO much power.

Where the hell did you pick up the woman next door was his mom?! It’s just another woman, his next victim...

You could say that nicely, no need to curse.

The whole season was setting up "who is Joe's mom" "where is Joe's mom" and she was reading a book by the pool which could foreshadow an explanation about how Joe is really into reading.

He seems to be excited about his relationship with Love and is definitely excited to be a dad. I don't see him cheating on her with the next door neighbor.

I think the exact opposite. In the last season he actually says it’s a prison and he thought this is what he wanted but this is not freedom. His personality will never change and he will always be a predator. He doesn’t want to be with Love but is only with her due to the child.

Well I'm not sure about his relationship with Love but I think he'll be a good dad, and I don't see him cheating on her to be with the next door neighbor. I think the neighbor is his mom.

Dude are you the kind of person that would marry some guy you found in jail via penpal or something?

He's an abusive narcissist. He of course will cheat on her, he has no moral compass and Love broke the spell by showing him she had the control. He needs to feel in control to love. He is not in control anymore. And the show imo clearly painted the neighbor as his new target.

I do think it left the door open for mommy dearest to return in some capacity though.

But seriously pp, think about why you are giving the benefit of the doubt to a character that is unquestionably an abusive stalking murderer. That would not all go away in a parent child relationship, it would just manifest in new and different and terrible ways.

We'll find out in a year who the neighbor is! I did some googling and most of the fan theory is that it's his mom.

You're still a weirdo for thinking so positively of him and Penn badgley thinks so himself. That the only reason people like Joe is because he's a white Male and we're willing to forgive white males for basically anything.

Also you're a wrong weirdo it's not his mom.

Oh right - I totally forgot about those parts. Thanks!

How could anyone think it’s his mom next door? The woman has young looking skin and is clearly reader. Joe’s mom wasn’t a reader and she’d be at least late 50s/60 by now. I would like to see where she wound up though. Maybe Joe killed her?

While I didn’t hate this season, I felt the flow, pace and characters were all better in season one. The characters in season two (with the exception of Joe and Ellie) just didn’t make sense. I was really disappointed with how they did Delilah.

Why do you say the mom was clearly not a reader? Because she was sleeping around? The most promiscuous girls I knew in college were the lit majors!

Not PP but when she tells him to pack she says something like, "and don't bring any of those silly books you like so much". A fellow book lover wouldn't say that, at least not the way she said it
