In 'You' Season 4, Joe Goldberg Is No Longer in Control (The New York Times)

The Netflix thriller's latest episodes have its antihero, played by Penn Badgley, on the back foot as he navigates the world of London's ultrarich.

In London, “not only are there people who have a ridiculous amount of money and have no idea what’s going on in the world, but they have titles,” Gamble said. “We never felt any responsibility to reform Joe, to give him a particularly happy ending,” Gamble said. It’s an evolution that Badgley is also keenly aware of: Joe is now “managing to grow emotionally, while not growing at all,” he said in a recent video interview. In Joe’s twisted mind, “he seems to actually respect her more,” he added. The stories he told himself with previous love interests, like Beck in Season 1 or Love, “stopped in those scenes with Marienne,” Gamble said. Setting the fourth season in London was, in part, a practical one: Paris would have been more complicated in terms of language and logistics. The season sees Joe “walking himself closer and closer to a self-awareness that he really won’t know what to do with,” Gamble said. Ahead of each new season, the production team ask themselves, “what kind of thriller we’re going to put him in,” Gamble said. His plans, however, are quickly scuppered when members of the ultrarich group of friends he resentfully joins start getting killed, and Joe must find the murderer before he’s framed for their crimes. (“In a more just society, we would all see Joe as problematic and not be interested in the show, but that’s not the society we live in,” Badgley [told The New York Times in 2019](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/arts/television/penn-badgley-you-netflix.html).) Not only is it set in London, but we soon find Joe on the back foot, being manipulated by a mysterious enemy who may be an even more accomplished killer. Marienne fled to Paris with her daughter — and Joe vowed to find her.

Review: 'You' turns the tables on Penn Badgley in somewhat ... (USA TODAY)

And in its fourth season, "You" is beginning to turn from sinister to soap opera. Penn Badgley's psychotic stalker and murderer Joe Goldberg has his own stalker ...

It doesn't help that the "eat the rich" subgenre has been done and redone on TV and film lately, much better than "You" manages here, at least in the first part of the season. The slice of British upper-crust society "You" slips Joe into this time around seems more of a caricature, perhaps a pitfall of transporting an American series abroad. A series intently fascinated with books and literature makes its inspiration well known from the outset, as Joe peruses a stack of Agatha Christie novels, searching for a formula that will help him find out who the "you" is. Of course, his life never stays quiet, and after one drunken night out with members of the upper class and a mysterious death, Joe is involved in a new crime spree and is drawn to yet another woman, icy Kate (Charlotte Ritchie, "Call the Midwife"). And in its fourth season, "You" is beginning to turn from sinister to soap opera. It might as well hit the audience over the head with a copy of "The Mousetrap."

“You” has survived its fourth season, but that rope now looks seriously frayed. Yet while the fourth season begins in characteristically twisty fashion, before it’s over the Netflix hit feels dangerously close to jumping the shark, having become a bit too cute for its (or Your, if You prefer) own good. It’s during the second half, alas, when the story begins going off the rails, as the writers unleash developments that undermine the tantalizing place where the midseason break leaves off.

In the fifth episode, Roald openly accuses Joe of being the killer and presents the evidence to the group while pointing a gun in his face. Rhys Montrose, one of friends among the elite group, reveals he is the killer and Joe’s stalker. Kate rescues them, and the love between her and Joe only deepens. Joe manages to run away, but Roald catches up to him, and they fight. At the party, Malcolm urges Joe to let loose and try to enjoy the night. Joe hobbles back into Kate’s room to find her staring at Gemma dead on the floor. Joe manages to dispose of Malcolm’s body without raising any alarms and later finds Marienne, who is understandably frightened by him, and goes back to Paris to be with her daughter. But after Joe fakes his death and moves to Europe, he becomes friends with some of London’s elite class, and the script is flipped on its head: someone knows Joe’s secret, and, this time, he is the one being stalked by a killer.

Here's who'll be joining Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg in Season 4 of Netflix's hit series You, which takes the serial killer to the streets of England.

Although he is close to the rest of the aristocratic group, his past will often draw a barrier between his perspective and that of his peers when it comes to money. Sophie is Simon's sister and the daughter of a tech entrepreneur. Malcolm is Kate's boyfriend, and he is the life of the party. Before playing Joe's friend turned rival, he also participated in the first seasons of Euphoria and The White Lotus. Simon is also an artist, and he is working with Kate to organize his art exhibition. With another setting as the backdrop to this insane storyline, [there comes the need for fresh faces](https://collider.com/you-season-4-new-characters-explained/) that will be a part of the serial killer's social circle in that location. Marienne was first introduced in Season 3 as Joe's librarian co-worker and the last person that the character was obsessed with. Different from her boyfriend, the character does perceive her wealth as all fun and games. The actor also appeared in two coming-of-age classics: Easy A and John Tucker Must Die. Despite his urge to prove that he is a good person, the serial killer returns to his old habits when his close contacts, a.k.a the UK elite, are taken down one by one. After his partner in crime, [Love (Victoria Pedretti), was killed at the end of Season 3](https://collider.com/you-season-4-love/), nothing can prevent him from pursuing a new target.

You Season 4 Part 1 Ending Explained: Who is Joe's Stalker? (Den of Geek)

Joe Goldberg returns for another rousing game of cat-and-mouse on You Season 4 — only this time, he's the mouse.

Eventually, Joe is shocked to find that Rhys is both his stalker as well as the killer. That’s not going away anytime soon.) And now that Rhys has his number, he’s ready to deliver a dose of Joe Goldberg justice. Once he’s back in London, the news is aflutter with the news of the latest killing … There’s never been such a disconnect in the way that Joe presents himself to the outside world and what he’s really thinking in the innermost reaches of his devious brain. Thanks to his star pupil Nadia, Joe has already read “Good Man, Cruel World,” Rhys’s captivating memoir of how he went from rags to riches, pulling himself out of a childhood of trauma and poverty and ending up in the company of high society. Under the principle of Chekov’s gun — a gun in the first act will resurface by the third — it seems that Marianne will somehow come into play later in the season. Why the detective accepted a simple image of a locket as proof of her murder is perplexing, but whatever. The first half of the season establishes the cat-and-mouse game between Joe and his stalker, even revealing the man behind the shady, disappearing texts in the final few moments of the Part 1 finale. Joe’s focus immediately shifts as he scrambles to try and figure out who is stalking him, why, and what they have planned for him in the long run. When we first check in with Joe, he’s living a pretty normal life, working as a professor of literature and spending his nights curled up with a book and a cuppa in his fancy flat. It’s a delightful twist that upends the typical You narrative, putting Joe Goldberg on the defensive instead of the offensive. [You](https://www.denofgeek.com/you/), Joe (Penn Badgley) finds himself on the other side of the Atlantic.

So, Rhys is trying to make Joe more comfortable with the idea of taking Roald’s life, especially after the Oxford circle showed their true colors during their weekend getaway. Season 4 is all about how rich people are just the worst, and the location Rhys chooses to play his mind games with Joe underlines this theme. From the first episode of You Season 4, we learn that a serial killer is on the loose in London. Unfortunately, the real Eat-the-Rich Killer is nearby, knocks Joe down, and drags him into a nightmarish trap. In the case of Season 4 of You, it’s only in Episode 5 that we see the story transform from a murder mystery into something darker. [You](https://collider.com/tag/you/) work as a psychological thriller in which we see the world through the eyes of an obsessive killer, every season has a turning point where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) finds himself in the middle of a horror movie.

You season 4's attempts to redeem Joe Goldberg just don't work (digitalspy.com)

You on Netflix season 4 review, does Joe's new redemption arc work for the hit show?

He's doing his best to convince himself, and the viewer at home, that this is a new trajectory. But what seems clear from season four, part one, is that the show has backed itself into a corner. This seed was first sown in season three, which enabled Joe to paint himself as some sort of victim held captive by his obsessive and controlling wife (oh, the irony). Where we are really hit over the head with this idea is in Joe's decision to let Marienne go. In this way, his redemption is disingenuous. But he's looking away, mostly, and trying to prove that he's a better person now.

I was going to ask about The White Lotus because of Lukas Gage. And I was like, "That guy from White Lotus!" When I got the part, I had a meeting with Sera Gamble, our showrunner; John Scott, our director; and some of the other writers. There's another socialite in England who passed away a few years ago named Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, and I got a lot of inspiration from her and her talk show appearances. But in London, more so in the '90s, there was this culture in the tabloids about our royal family and the people associated with them. But there was a caveat of her being lovely and genuine. So I thought she was safe. The series does a really good job of creating very unlikeable characters or making you love a character and killing them off. I enjoyed playing the upper-class-removed-from-reality character and poking fun at it. They'd schedule 15 scenes on one day and you could work across four units; that's working across 16 episodes, potentially, on a busy period of the year.

'You' Season 4 isn't so bad it's good, it's just plain bad (Entertainment.ie)

This doesn't apply to 'You' Season 4, considering that Penn Badgley now has a beard. If anything, it's the opposite. In the world of streaming services, series ...

The common refrain from people who have stuck with 'You' since the beginning is that you have to watch it like it's a comedy. The reliably hammy Sean Pertwee is in there as a bodyguard-fixer for one of the rich crowd, and Tati Gabrielle is more of a cameo than a permanent fixture. The dialogue is meant to be funny and clunky and cliched. One of the crowd kills another member of the crowd, attempts to pin on it him, and the killer - who he talks with through a messaging app that disappears its messages instantly - discovers his true identity. The only way a series survives in this jungle now is if it latches on to popular consciousness instantaneously. In the world of streaming services, series now have a much shorter window to improve.
