LOS ANGELES — Sera Gamble understands your Joe Goldberg conundrum. As the hopeless romantic and serial killer at the center of Netflix's popular series "You," Joe, played by Penn Badgley, is a thorny protagonist to follow: You love him! You're weirded out by him! He's toxic! Wait, you're rooting for him to change?
"It feels like that in the [writers'] room, too," says Gamble, the showrunner of the psychological thriller. "On any given morning, someone will be like, 'We need to shove him off a building instead of some innocent victim this time.' And then somebody else would be like, 'Oh, I feel like he's been really sweet to [love interest] Kate [Charlotte Ritchie] this season.'"
Joe has been wrestling with himself too.
