I am on episode 5 it's weird how addictive this story is". It did make me lock my devices lol. Although I do have curtains lol. I liked Dan and him being gossip girl is twist I refuse to believe. I don't he would ever be joe. I don't find beck annoying but I am still on episode 5 maybe I like Elizabeth Leil to much

I had all my devices locked but it still made me more cautious.

Quote:

“I’m not worried,” Penn Badley’s lead character Joe Goldberg tells us. “I’ve seen enough romantic comedies to know guys like me are always getting in jams like this.”

The genius of this 10-part, water-cooler thriller, based on Caroline Kepnes’s book of the same name, lies in how well it addresses the way society frequently romanticises abusive behaviour. Joe's comment is incredibly astute, despite him being unaware of its negative connotations, because his psychopathic behaviour very often mimics that of so many male leads in romantic comedies.

Why Netflix's hit stalker series YOU is so addictive

There are some elements of Rom com's as someone who watches a lot of them like the scene in the train and vomiting on him. If we didn't see Joe's point of view and murder 2 people I could have been shipping them. I think the show is critiquing that

^ I completely agree. People like to judge Beck but if you don't know Joe's tricks/his real self, he easily comes across as a catch.

Have you seen Penn's twitter? It's pretty hilarious (and great) how he's making fun of people who think Joe is a great guy, and calling attention to how disturbing people's love for Joe is.

Just started my rewatch, will try to keep it at one/two episodes a day but who knows

They did a good analysis on episode 4 and they gave author information that peach is a distant cousin to Salinger and the author named her peach because peaches are sweet but when rotten can be poisonous

Thanks for the link.

That's why her other two friends weren't suspicious of him and thought Beck got really lucky. Only Peach saw thorugh him but that's because she was just as obsessed with Beck.

I love his responses to fans about You too.
