You are on Netflix: Why are we disappointed at the end of the series

Please note that this article contains spoilers on Netflix.

When Netflix bought you the rights of you in 2018, which belonged to life, as we have explained here, the American giant probably did not expect his hero, a serial killer with a devastating smile, robbing subscribers.

If we give Pen Badley some charm, Joe Goldberg is a very problematic character with whom we can detect “Narcissism, manipulation and obsession that are characteristic of a narcissistic personality disorder.” A disorder that characterizes “Excessive need of admiration, absence of empathy, manipulative behavior, and distorted perception of one’s own meaning” Said psychologist Charlotte Sancho, On this site.

In search of redemption

Within 5 seasons you will continue, our antipathetic hero manages to play in his favor: after all, we are in our head and he shares with us with his most intimate thoughts.

With his eyes, we see him as a sacrifice. He says she only kills the woman who loves her. And when the latter is against it, he is “forced” to protect himself or the evidence disappear. In fact, he is a manipulator who should feel lovely.

In the 4th season, two years ago, on Netflix, the writers made an interesting choice: Joye’s confrontation with his problems and his demons that took Rhys Montrose (Ed Spellers). When he understands that he is mad at the madness, Joe tries to end his life from the London Bridge. Before storing extremes.

When he woke up, he finds Charlotte on his bed, a woman who “loves” and who tells her that thanks to her money and power, she can help her restore freedom and ID. He almost thought that he had completed this life of killings and violence. We only waited for one thing: that he made his mea culpa and he pays for his guilt after he recognized his toxicity.

Sprinkler has been reduced

This season 5, which has the last presence, has promised us the real end of the character. But he quickly returns to his flaws, as a result of the gathering of Bronte (Madzin Brayer) under witchcraft, with passionate literature that will read on the verge of pornography.

It is enough, in any case, to satisfy the interest of our married man who, in his words, understands that he is attracted to him. And as we know, he likes being in the spotlight. But Bronte is actually a vengeful angel who has attracted Joe to his canvas to prove that he is responsible for the death of his best friend Beck (Elizabeth Lail) in the season 1.

Death is very sweet for Joy, who will end in prison in life. In her cell, she complains of her loneliness and poses once again as a sacrifice: she never puts her own and is one of the big black dots of this goal.

Worse, the last episode ends with observation: the real problem is not, but we. A society that creates idols, but also subscribers who have been in naked Joe have been brought to social networks for years. To the end, you have grown.

If we understand the approach of the writers, this aspect is awkward. Like the wrong criticism of our society: The topic is briefly mentioned in the 5th episode, through this blogger, which has been criticized by Bronte, but this discussion ended with the death of this character. This violence here is junk or even against the opposite, it seems.

Finally, you will go to the small door. The series had a boulevard to say toxic masculinity and feminism, instead of which it fell freely and in violence. The scenes that point to the confrontation between Joe and his former sacrifice (Nadia, Charlotte, Marien …) Girl with power Unfortunately, it is not enough to raise a level.

And you, what did you think?
