Nauseating it’s become. How can he always be shown getting away with it
Last week Netflix released season 3 of the popular psycho thriller series called the 'You'. To the ones who haven't watched the series yet, don't worry it's not a spoiler nor a review, it's just my analogy of the central character, Joe Goldberg shown in the popular thriller series.
Well, we all love Joe Goldberg, isn't it? But why is that? He's a murderer, a villain and logically we're supposed to hate him, but no we don't!
Joe is like the perfect man of every girl's dream. He's tall, handsome, he's so articulate, he tries to give you the world, and is also so romantic. He's delusional and makes stories in his head, but we're the same, we love making stories and have this idea of perfect love and relationship, just like Joe.
Like every other millennial, he starts following his crush, Beck (season 1) on social media, so he knows her exact interests. We do the same in order to know someone, stalk people's social media, go through their posts, especially when we’re going on a date, at the very least atleast try Googling them.
There are many aspects of Joe that are very likeable, he's charming and so grounded, that we go along with him and his character throughout all the 3 seasons. Similarly in real life too, we tend to meet people/ strangers who seem to be just picture perfect, and tick all our boxes of perfect partners.
The character of Joe seems like a hope for many, but it's equally a warning for us what can possibly go wrong, or people can be scary and have too many facades.
'You' is an essential psychological thriller for today’s world that showcases the reality of our lives, especially the extreme idealization we do as kids, the devaluation, and rejection we go through and how it shapes us as individuals and, affects one's romantic relationships and mental health.
