The third season of Netflix’s hit psychological drama series, YOU, has recently hit the streaming platform, leaving fans with a whirlwind of emotions and questions.

*Spoilers ahead*
Season 3 followed Joe and Love (Victoria Pedretti), who have moved to a new location, hiding from their old life in Los Angeles. They settle in the suburban paradise of Madre Linda, with hopes of starting anew. Joe takes a job at the Sunflower Learning Academy as a librarian, where he meets the captivating student, Marianne (Tati Gabrielle), whom he becomes obsessed with.
Throughout the season, we witness Joe and Love’s marriage crumble, as past traumas come to light, and they face new challenges that put their relationship to the test. Joe’s obsession with Marianne, Love’s erratic behaviour, and their complicated family dynamics make for a captivating storyline that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
However, the season finale sets up an exciting cliff-hanger. We see that Joe has set his sights on a new woman, his next obsession – his neighbour, Natalie’s mother. The final moments of the show hint that Joe’s dark past may catch up with him, as the ominous phrase “she’s just like you” refers to this new woman.
Apart from the captivating storyline, Victoria Pedretti and Penn Badgley’s performances are commendable. They deliver a nuanced portrayal of the characters’ inner turmoil, making the viewers empathise with their struggles, despite their complex and often disturbing actions.
With the third instalment of YOU ending on an intriguing note, fans are already wondering what to expect from the upcoming fourth season. The creators of the show have already announced that Marianne and her brother, Theo (Dylan Arnold), will return for season 4, adding to the anticipation of what is to come.
Speculations suggest that Marianne may have a significant role in Joe’s future, as their twisted relationship is far from over. Moreover, with the revelation of Love’s unexpected pregnancy, it is yet to be seen how this would impact the storyline in subsequent seasons.
In conclusion, the third season of YOU did not disappoint. It kept the viewers engaged with its mind-boggling storyline and brilliant performances by the cast. With season 4 already in the works, fans can only wait with bated breath to see what the future holds for Joe Goldberg and his twisted obsessions.
