![]() ![]() ![]() Their confrontation's witnessed by Elliot Tannenberg (Adam James), a hitman hired by Joe's former father-in-law.Īlthough Love's dad wants Joe dead, Elliot would rather retire. Joe's shaken by this accusation and attempts to prove her wrong by letting her go unharmed. But she's brave (or foolish?) enough to tell him the truth: he's not the good man who did a bad thing like he thinks he is. He chases her into an empty building, and she pulls a knife on him, clearly terrified. Before he became Jonathan Moore, Joe fled Madre Linda and tracked Marienne from Paris to London, where he confronts her at an art fair. So yeah, Marienne's (Tati Gabrielle) still a sore spot. ![]() "I've got till dark to figure out what the hell to do with him and mentally prepare to drive on the wrong side of the road," he grumbles. Joe has no memory of doing a murder, and he curses the whole time he's dragging the body to the boot of his borrowed car. Joe wakes up on his own couch wrapped in a fuzzy rainbow coat with Malcolm stabbed to death on his kitchen table, a pinkie finger missing. Then again, Joe might actually kill that guy, which is where the similarities end.Īnd oops, that seems to be what happens. And that right there is the appeal of Joe Goldberg: he loathes the people we loathe, and he does it in such a droll, relatable way that you can't help but laugh and agree. "If I could move, I'd kill this guy," Joe seethes as he careens toward a blackout. Malcolm wins by saying crude and demeaning things about Marienne, the one who got away in season 3. Phoebe forces absinthe down his throat, and the one-percenters start competing to see who can be the most loathsome. Joe's night quickly turns into a alcohol-soaked nightmare. Rhys seems great, which means there's a higher-than-average chance he's going to turn out to be the worst of them all, right? In the middle of the obnoxious excess of Sundry House, Rhys and Joe bond over their awful childhoods, and I start to worry. He adapted to his new lifestyle, wrote one of the best memoirs Joe's ever read - high praise there we all know Joe's a literary snob - and is considering running for mayor of London. Joe finds one worthwhile person among the sneering elites: Rhys Montrose (Ed Speleers), who grew up in hardscrabble poverty before discovering he was the son of a duke. Roald Walker Burton (Ben Wiggins) is a protofascist with an alarming knife collection, Connie (Dario Coates) owns horses, and Gemma Graham-Greene (Eve Austin) is a braying, racist nightmare. Blessing Bosede (Ozioma Whenu) is a Nigerian princess and NFTs pyramid scheme queen, Simon Soo (Aidan Cheng) is a broody artist, and his sister Sophie (Niccy Lin) is a jet-set influencer. There's American Adam Pratt (Lukas Gage, who I sincerely hope has been able to upgrade his living situation), the owner of Sundry House and boyfriend of Lady Phoebe Borehall-Blaxworth (Tilly Keeper), Kate's sweet bestie. But nothing gold can stay - especially not if you're presumed dead and hiding out in London after murdering your wife to keep her from murdering you first.Īlthough Joe's voiceover tells us that he's sworn off love and is trying to keep to himself, he's nevertheless drawn to his neighbors Malcolm Harding (Stephen Hagan), a wealthy, brainless colleague at Darcy, and Malcolm's girlfriend Kate Galvin (Charlotte Ritchie), a tightly wound art gallerist.įrom his flat's vantage point across from their big picture window, Joe admits that he misses having someone worth watching, but he forces himself to look away when he catches Kate enjoying some hands-down-her-pants solo time while Malcolm's out.Īt Sundry house, we meet the rest of the new characters this season - rich, gorgeous, and breathtakingly awful, the lot of 'em. Yep, Joe ( Penn Badgley) has found the perfect new identity, and he congratulates himself for keeping vaguely racist white men off his syllabus in this tweedy utopia. He's bearded and wearing the hell out of a vest and rolled-sleeve dress shirt while presiding over a class of smart, eager-to-argue literature students at Darcy College in London. And season 4, the first half of which dropped Thursday on Netflix, finds our favorite well-read killer navigating British high society in an unfamiliar position: stalk-ee, not stalker. Season 3 found Joe barely surviving the exquisitely manicured suburbs. Season 2 hopped coasts to darken that sunny California vibe. Season 1 was all New York intellectualism and rain-washed streets. Like its lead character, You is a master of reinvention. Joe Goldberg's back, baby, and so is that wickedly witty inner monologue that almost makes you root for him despite, well, everything. ![]()
