Have you ever had a show that consistently hit the mark? The Show 'You' has entirely changed the game of what I expect from American Television series. From the writing to the acting, I have been spoiled by such great content. If anything, every person involved in the production or even the publishing of the show DESERVES a raise! 

The show 'You' showcases the behavior of a psychotic man who had a rough childhood. Because of his turbulent childhood, there are many instances where he grows an obsession with ' Damsels of Distress.'Due to his mother issues growing up, the main character Joe played by Penn Badgley, felt the need to always be there for women in complex situations. Throughout his early childhood, his mother would get beaten by his father, who Joe kills later on. Young Joe's mother, toughened by the insanity of her son killing her now dead paramour, dissociates herself from the situation by putting Joe in a group home. During the latest season of the show, Joe meets a nurse in the group home who goes through a similar situation as Joe's mother went through. Still, because Joe, saddened by the thought of Joe's mom hating him for what he did last time in a similar situation, he stays out of it, causing the nurse to go missing because of her abusive relationship with her paramour. The nurse was one of Joe's only friends in the group home along with another kid; he felt saddened by the nurse going missing, so young Joe went to find his mom. When young Joe goes to find his mother, he finds out that her mother started a new life with a new family and that his mom wanted to change " completely," this shatters young Joe into the man he is today.

As Joe gets older, he realizes he will do anything for the ones he loves, even murder. The obsession Joe grows with the women he loves creates an unhealthy balance in his life, leading to stalking and violent crimes. Joe kills many people in his past relationships, but it was only until he killed one of the first people he killed for love, Beck, that he made his move. Elizabeth Hall played Beck in season one, and because of Beck finding out all the insane murders Joe has done and continued to do to get with her, she dies because Joe kills her. Joe then decides to move to California from Brooklyn, New York, to escape from the situation just like his mother did when he was a kid.

This pattern continues in California when he meets the character Love, but there is a plot twist. Love is a murderer for love too. The writers placed a situational irony in the sordid television show that kept watchers focused—a brilliant addition to the twisted story. The character Love, played by Victoria Pedretti, loves the pursuit of love. For this pursuit of love, the character kills anyone who will step in her way, including her twin brother. 

When Joe finds out that Love is a twisted, psychotic murderer like himself, he plots to kill her too, but... SHE IS PREGNANT! So instead of her body and remains being discarded like Joe's usual victims, he marries her and has their first child together.

During the latest season (Season Three), we learn that Joe no longers loves Love because of how twisted she is and that Joe cannot handle the female version of himself. Love is nothing but a mere reflection of the lack of love and jealousy between Joe and his younger deranged self. Joe and Love move from their open city life in California to escape the troubles of their past murders to White Suburbia in Madre Linda, California.

Joe falls into his old patterns again, but he has a child, a son, a person to look after, so he stops himself. But his paramour Love knows Joe all too well, so he kills the woman Joe started to obsess over, Natalie Engler played by Michaela McManus. But Natalie was their neighbor who was married to Matthew Engler, played by Scott Speedman. Matthew is a tech entrepreneur with his data tracking apps and loves Natalie more than she will ever know, even though he left his past relationship with the mother of his now-adult child to be with her. The murder leaves the quiet little town of Madre Linda, where there are cameras and trackers everywhere in shambles, causing an investigation that almost tears Joe and Love apart. BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE ...

Since Joe and Love have to make sure their murderous habits are kept secret, they discard the body improperly, causing the investigation to dig into them a little bit. And a whole mess is created.

Joe and Love's son later contracted the measles because their neighbors did not have their kids vaccinated. Those said neighbors are Gil and Margaret Birgham. In a feat of rage, Love attacks Gil when Gil apologizes for Love's son being critically ill. Love locks Gil in a cage in the basement of her new bakery in Madre Linda. Since Gil is one of the nicest people in Madre Linda, Joe and Love try to bargain with him to keep him quiet if he were to get out, but when that doesn't work, they blackmail him. Yet, the blackmail doesn't work against Gil because he did not know of his son's problems of being a sexual assaulter. While in the cage, Gil kills himself when Joe and Love aren't watching. Joe and Love use this to their advantage to create a framed murder for the death of Natalie Engler because of Gil Brigham. It was a win-win situation, but it did not satisfy the heart of Matthew Engler.

 Matthew later makes a private investigator peer into the lives of Joe and Love along with his user access to the town's security footage. Matthew's son is worried about his dad, but he is also in love with Love, making for an even greater plot twist. Love uses Matthew's son Theo, played by Dylan Arnold, to access his dad's private investigation. 

Yet during that mess, Love tries to reignite the spark of her marriage with Joe because she believes it is failing. Meanwhile, Joe has already started obsessing over someone else, his boss, Marienne, played by Tati Gabrielle. Marienne is a single mother who is a former addict trying to get joint custody of her daughter. Joe loves how caring Marienne is and will do anything to protect her, even kill her father's child. Yet, Joe is careful this time because his wife Love will kill anyone who engages in a romantic interaction with Joe.

Not knowing of Joe's content for his boss, Love and Joe engage in a foursome with her best friend Sherry, played by Shalita Grant, and her husband Cary, played by Travis Van Winkle, to spark their marriage. The night they engage in this act, Love starts to get uncomfortable with Sherry having sex with Joe and begins to scream at Joe and blurts out that she killed Natalie while Sherry and Cary are upstairs. To prevent the story from breaking out, Joe and Love hide them in the cage under the bakery, thinking they killed them.

Then, while Sherry and Cary are locked in the cage, Theo finds evidence of Joe looking abusive and thinks Love is married to a violent man and tries to save her. Theo later finds the cage under Love's bakery and finds out that Loves is deranged. Thankfully, Theo makes it out alive with the help of Joe and goes to the hospital. But Joe only helped Theo because he wanted to be on a good footing. After all, he planned the escape out of Madre Linda with Marianne, who did not know how bad Joe was. 

Later that same night, when Theo gets helps and Joe plans to escape with his son and Marienne, Love finds out about Joe's content for Marianne. In a feat of rage, Love drugs Joe like she did to her first paramour when she killed him, and then Love secretly invited Marienne to Joe and Love's house to murder her too. Love tells Marienne about how bad of a person Joe is and how Love plans to kill Marienne, but all that stops when she notices Marienne's daughter waiting for her so she can use the bathroom. Marianne tells Love that if Joe is as bad as Love says he is, then she needs to run away too, Love grants Marienne mercy and lets her run far away from Joe and Madre Linda, but Love plans to kill Joe.

Then out of nowhere, with a plot twist, Joe poisons Love by stopping her heart, and creates a whole plan to escape Madre Linda. The plan causes Joe to give up his child and create an elaborate scheme that frames the now deceased Love for everything and figuratively kills off Joe so he can escape. 

In the end, it is implied Joe leaves America to France in search of... MARIENNE!
