Joe Goldberg fans have been excited to see the return of netflix‘s fan favorite drama series , You.
It first aired on Lifetime with relatively low ratings, it’s move to Netflix saw a surge in its popularity, with an estimated 40 million households watching season one worldwide.
You captivated an audience with the protagonist, Goldberg, his obsessive and manipulative nature, and the unique storytelling.
Each season saw Goldberg lure his victims with his dangerous charm, going to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of the women who fascinated him.
Just over two years after season four premiered, the final instalment of the hit show has arrived on Netflix. Season five picks up three years after the previous one.
Audiences see Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley) return to his roots in New York with his new wife Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Ritchie).
Lockwood is his big fourth love, after the footsteps of fallen others, Guinevere Beck, Love Quinn, and Marienne Bellamy, who nearly all died at the hands of the charming murderer.
Although Bellamy was able to escape the clutches of the serial killer.
Goldberg’s seemingly perfect relationship is a cover for his and his new wife’s past, as she covered up his crimes in the prior season, and she has hidden her family’s cancer scandal.
The killer also has a new muse in the final season: Brontë.
Lockwood, Bellamy, and one of his other past victims, Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman), team up to trap him in a glass cage, but a fire in his bookstore breaks out.
Brontë rescued Goldberg from the blaze at Mooney’s bookstore.
However, the ending to the final season of You has left some fans rather disappointed.
Taking to social media to discuss the season finale, one person shares: “So the final season of You consists of some random a** girl wrapping up Joe’s storyline and no Ellie or Love cameo.”
“Just finished You. I don’t have any complaints about Joe’s ending, but the execution was horrible. Why did they use some random redheaded woman to wrap up the story,” someone else adds.
A third says: “Finished You and wtf some random ass lady just end Joe’s story up when it should have been Love Quninn.”
To some fans’ disappointment, the new character Brontë is ultimately the cause of Goldberg’s downfall.
The three prior victims of his managed to get Brontë involved with the plan after convincing her that Goldbery is the murderer, after he killed her writing TA, Guinevere Beck was killed in season one.
After she and Goldberg break into a cabin together, Brontë confronts him about his crimes, and while doing so, he receives a call from his son, Henry.
Henry accuses Goldberg of trying to kill his mom, Lockwood, and calls his dad the true ‘monster’ under his bed.
The serial killer then lunges at Brontë, but she manages to call 911, and while doing so, Goldberg begs her to kill him instead.
At this point, Brontë shoots him in the p**** and he is taken away by the police.
He is convicted in court of killing his wife, Love Quinn, and Beck, as well as the latter’s friends Benji and Peach.
In a final monologue, Goldberg says: “My punishment is even worse than I imagined. The loneliness, oh my god. The loneliness.
“No hope of being held. Knowing this is forever. 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.”
