Joe Goldberg, Why Are You So Creepy?
*warning, spoilers for all three seasons of You ahead*
If you have seen the Netflix series You, which just premiered its third season, you are no stranger to the ultimate creep, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley). As a character, Joe Goldberg manages to approach women in the most unsettling ways through his constant voyeuristic pleasure of spying turned intense stalking. Throughout the first two seasons, Joe bounced around from one love interest to the next, so much so that when season three was released this October, I had to look up a recap of the first two seasons to remind me of his many victims (shoutout to Netflix for having the actors film a recap video), which reminded me how much of a nightmare he is for women everywhere. Across all seasons of the show, Joe’s mindset seems to have remained the same for the most part. He holds onto the idea that he will meet a soulmate who will change who he is at his core, which is basically just a complete sociopath.
