What Is You About?
“You” chronicles the twisted life of its protagonist, Joe Goldberg, as he travels from city to city to find his true love. Throughout the series, Joe spirals into obsessive behaviors to manipulate his love interests, which always escalate into grisly, murderous situations that force him to move from one city to another to run away from the consequences of his actions.
Joe also narrates the story, in which he presents himself as the victim and justifies his crimes as necessary to protect the people he cares about. His smooth yet disturbing narration gives the viewers a glimpse inside the complex and dangerous mind of a psychopath.
The first season of “You” premiered in 2018 on the American network Lifetime before the streaming giant acquired the show and gave it a successful run. The two-part fourth season wrapped up in March, while its fifth and final season will air in 2024.
