Joe Goldberg is hanging up his blue cap — and, this time, it’s for good. With the return of You season five on Netflix, the Penn Badgley-fronted drama has a near impossible task: how to end the most repetitive series of all time, while serving up the correct amount of justice to a simultaneously beloved and derided main character?
The answer is: with little success. You season five picks up three years after season four left off: Joe Goldberg is back in New York following his Made in Chelsea-style stint in London, and he’s now the proud trophy husband of Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Ritchie), a British heiress with a dirty secret (she gave a bunch of children cancer due to her family company building a dodgy pipeline of some sort, don’t ask).
