You (2018)	comment	You is a psychological thriller series developed by Sera Gamble (Supernatural, The Magicians) and Greg Berlanti, based on the novel of the same name by Caroline Kepnes.Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) seems like a perfectly normal bookstore manager on the surface, but when he meets Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), a graduate student and aspiring writer, it soon becomes clear that all is not well with him. As his crush on Beck escalates to an actual relationship, Joe becomes increasingly more intent on keeping her around, by any means necessary.You originally aired on Lifetime in late 2018, but it moved to Netflix for its second season. The second season dropped in December 2019, adapting the source material's sequel, Hidden Bodies. A third season launched in October 2021, with a fourth greenlit before the third's premiere. After sticking to the broad plots of the first two novels for the first two seasons, the third season of the series departs completely from the narrative of the books and bears almost no resemblance to the third novel, You Love Me. On March 24, 2023, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a fifth and final season.Not to be confused with the 2013 novel of the same name.Expect a whole conversation worthy of Abbott and Costello if someone happens to come up and ask you, "What are you watching?" or "What's on TV tonight?"

You (2018) / int_10dcbe05	type	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
You (2018) / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Sherry and Kerry are mostly portrayed as shallow, annoying douchebags with no real love or affection for each other. This seems to be reinforced when they descend into bickering after Love and Joe knock them out and throw them into the cage. But the experience ends up bringing them closer together, and they bond over memories of their early days together. They do end up writing a book about the experience and becoming motivational speakers, of course.

You (2018) / int_11b01fc7	comment	Happy Marriage Charade: Love and Forty's parents. Ray and Dottie Quinns' public image is that of an influential and loving Bourgeois Bohemian business super-couple. In truth their marriage is quite bitter and they don't get along with their children. In season 3 they finally go through a very acrimonious divorce, reflected in Dottie's deteriorating mental state. By mid-season 3, Love and Joe keep up the facade of the handsome young suburbanite couple, but the ennui of the suburbs and their increasing distrust each other causes their marriage to implode.

You (2018) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: After the past two seasons and first half had Joe as a clearly villainous but usually Affably Evil, the second half of Season 4 takes a HARD turn to horror. Joe had developed a split personality that committed the Eat-the-Rich murders and imprisoned Marienne in a cage for weeks until forgetting about her entirely, the latter arc ending with her seemingly being Driven to Suicide by overdosing on oxycodone. There are two scenes where men are tortured before being killed, one at Joe's hands. Joe ultimately attempts suicide in order to stop hurting people, but unfortunately fails and lives on. The season ends with his most heinous act: framing Nadia, one of his students and his Morality Pet for the season, for the murder of her boyfriend.

They're both deplorable people, but both of them raise entirely accurate (if thoroughly hypocritical) points against the other. In Season 3, Joe vs Ryan. Both Joe and Ryan are horrible people, but Ryan proves himself to be extremely sadistic and takes extreme pleasure in abusing and torturing Marienne and enjoys hurting people as if it's a normal sport for him to have fun with.

You (2018) / int_1b48011d	comment	Adaptational Friendship: In You (Kepnes), Beck and Blythe are acquaintances doing the same MFA, but Beck despises Blythe (at least partly out of jealousy). Because both Beck and Blythe receive Adaptational Nice Guy treatment in the series, they are good friends and Blythe is shown actively supporting Beck (especially with her writing) after Peach's death. Delilah and Joe have a casual hookup in both the book and Season 2. However, in Hidden Bodies, Delilah is treated with contempt and even nicknamed "Don't Fuck Delilah." In the series, Delilah and Joe develop a genuinely warm friendship (in the book, it was just sex), and Delilah confides in Joe about being raped by Henderson. In Hidden Bodies, Forty and Henderson don't know each other. In the series, they are friends (albeit not close friends) and Henderson gets a small Pet the Dog moment when he calms down the high and embarrassing Forty at his party. This sets up the series' addition that Joe and Love frame Forty for killing Henderson by claiming that he found out Henderson was a serial predator and dispensed some vigilante justice due to Forty's own Rape as Backstory.

You (2018) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
You (2018) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Peach is a sedate version. While in the book she is not a nice person and a massively manipulative annoyance, Peach of the book never would've done something as bad as setting Beck up to be sexually assaulted by a famous writer and potential mentor. Benji in the book is arguably more annoying (as a hopelessly entitled snob who still tries to condescend to Joe after he's been kidnapped and locked in the cage), but Benji in the series is a murderer who let a classmate die during a college fraternity initiation ritual, while the book's version of Benji is "only" a manipulative, sleazy, self-important drug addict. Love and Forty's parents border on Too Good for This Sinful Earth in the book, except some individual problems that seem like they might be trying to help, like letting a hooker blow the fifteen-year-old Forty and accidentally making everything worse. However, in the TV series, they're nasty, perverse master manipulators that are perfectly willing to cover up that Love is a murderer and to let their au pair continue to rape their son and, while Love and Forty's father does dislike Forty, he isn't so cruel, and neither are physically abusive in the book. Love herself. In the book, she finds out about Joe's crimes and willingly covers them up. However, in the series, she turns out to be a murderer and a major Yandere. She kills Delilah and Candace, two of the most sympathetic characters and past victims of Joe's. Although Forty's rapist was an Asshole Victim of the first order, she also had no problem making Forty believe he committed the crime. Henderson was not a good person in the book, and his increased villainousness here might be chalked up to the Values Dissonance stemming from the Me Too movement. Book-Henderson was a lonely creep who habitually hit on and slept with women, including women he worked with and judged them on their appearance. Television Henderson is a serial rapist who drugs and sexually abuses underage girls.

Although many things were left out or reworked from the book, the show adds a fair bit to the second season, including the character of Ellie, and Delilah's crusade against Henderson. Love's violent sociopathy is also completely unique to the series, and ends up becoming the driving force behind the plot of Season 3.

You (2018) / int_23a1e2a9	comment	Adaptation Deviation: The end of season two onwards marks the most significant change from the source material thus far. In Hidden Bodies, Joe is arrested for his crimes after learning Love is pregnant with his child. The season two epilogue, however, shows that Love is pregnant like in the book, but Joe evades imprisonment and moves with her to the suburbs, where she can keep a tight leash on him. This continues with season three versus the third book in the series, You Love Me, which was released before the season dropped on Netflix but after development had already started. In the book, Joe starts a new life in Seattle without Love, whose family pays him to stay away from her. She eventually lures Joe back to LA as an opportunity for him to see their child, which she uses to shoot Joe in the head and then turn the gun on herself. Love dies, but Joe survives the incident. The main plotline involving Joe's new love interest, Mary Kay, also does not feature in the third season, instead continuing the cliffhanger ending of season two wherein Joe and Love move to the suburbs to raise their new child together.

You (2018) / int_272abb98	comment	Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Candace. She survives being buried alive, nobody believes her that she was, and a restraining order won't do any good. She goes into hiding and stays that way until she hears about Beck's death. She returns, solely with the intention of stopping Joe from hurting anyone else. When Joe flees to LA, she follows him, gets in a relationship with Forty, and despite her serious trauma, stays close to Joe so she can stop him from hurting anyone, especially Love or Forty. When she tries telling Love and Forty the truth, neither of them believe her. When she believes she has proof that he is a killer, she takes Love to prove it...and Love turns out to be psycho and kills her. It's ultimately All for Nothing. Forty to a lesser extent. A past victim of sexual abuse, he seems to have no real friends except his sister Love, and he thinks he killed his first "love" (his rapist) and this seems to be a large contributing factor to his instability and drug addiction. Actually, it was all Love; she made him believe he was responsible. He doesn't believe Candace's accusations about Joe because he genuinely cares about him, but when he begins to fear that Candace is dead, he attacks Joe with a gun to protect Love. Actually, Love is also insane and killed Candace, but it's a police officer who finally kills Forty. He then gets framed for all the crimes Joe and/or Love committed.

At the end of the Season 1, he strangles her to death after she finds out that he was stalking her (and murdering her friends and exes.) Candace managed to dig herself out after being buried alive by Joe before Season 1, as revealed in flashbacks throughout Season 2. She returns to find Joe and make him suffer before revealing what he did, and attempts to protect his new girlfriend, Love. When Candace manages to imprison Joe (after he makes several attempts to kill her), she actually gets him to feel some genuine remorse, she then makes the fatal mistake of bringing Love to see Joe. Love turns out to be a Joe-centred yandere, and she kills Candace via slashed throat for real this time.

You (2018) / int_28cd01ca	comment	Disappeared Dad: Beck has issues with this, by her own admission, because her dad left the family after divorcing her mom to marry his sober coach who he'd met while giving up drugs. She is apparently the only one of his three children who he still even has contact with. Their relationship seems to consist of him paying for rent and her college tuition to a certain degree, along with occasional visits. She pretends he's dead with most people. Her step mom likes to guilt-trip Beck over allegedly only using him as a cash machine, and having not been religious enough to keep him from getting into drugs, which explains why she doesn't visit him more. Beck's clearly jealous because his two stepchildren see her dad far more than she does, and learning her step mom is going to have a baby just makes her feel worse. We never learn where Paco's father is, but his mom's now single and has an abusive boyfriend. She later says he deserves better, hoping to find a good father figure for him.

The result of this is her developing abandonment issues and is constantly seeking validation from others, but also panicking and shutting herself off once she gets said validation because she thinks it's going to be taken away from her. This is also what happened to Joe. His mother left him leading him to live in foster homes, of where he was continuously abused by other boys.

The climax reveals that behind Love's "perfect girl" exterior, she is a cunning, remorseless murderer who killed Forty's au pair for molesting him, and she murdered Delilah and Candace for threatening to expose Joe, when Joe himself couldn't. However, when she does this - and reveals she knew all along that Joe killed Beck, and planted herself to find him - Joe is repulsed by her, and only doesn't kill her because she's pregnant with their baby. They stay together, but Joe is miserable and loathes her.

You (2018) / int_2e8441c9	comment	The Bad Guy Wins: At the end of Season 1, Joe kills Beck and ultimately gets away with it. Season 2 provides a more mixed example. Love definitely wins, as she ends up married and pregnant by Joe, able to control him whenever she wants. Joe also sort of wins, as he ends up living a life of privilege and unimaginable luxury, but he also has to do it under Love's watchful and often murderous eye, and it's clear the Quinns will dispose of him if he gets out of line. Similarly, Season 3 is also a mixed bag. Joe wins, having killed Love and forged a suicide note in which Love claims sole responsibility for all of the season's murders. Sherry, Cary, and Theo recover from their injuries (with Sherry and Cary reinventing themselves as relationship coaches) and seem to have no interest in exposing Joe's participation in their respective imprisonment and assaults. However, Joe is forced to fake his death (and cuts off his toes to help sell the lie, no less!) and abandon his sonâ€”while simultaneously leaving him with a loving family to give him a chance at far more happier childhood than he had. But he is now free to start over in Paris with a new identity and a new object of obsession to pursue. Season 4 presents this wholesale, The Eat the Rich killings are pinned on a fanatical stalker of Phoebe, and Joe manages to not only kill Rhys Montrose, a sitting mayoral candidate, but also place the blame on the two students who began to investigate him for the previous killings. He survives his attempted suicide and is welcomed into open arms by Kate, even though he murdered her father hours before. Kate's access to her father's resources allows Joe complete autonomy within the United States again, posturing the couple as survivors of abuse who turned to philanthropy. Instead of changing for the better, Joe completely embraces his dark side - with enough power and influence from the Lockwoods that the Quinns never managed to match.

She wants to control you like she controls every inch of your life. Beck... you have a stalker." Joe sarcastically refers to Benji as "the poster boy for white male privilege", conveniently ignoring that white male privilege is also what helps give predatory guys like Joe the blind spot they need to manipulate and abuse others. Joe criticizes Forty for his misogynistic and shallow writing, while having very misogynistic beliefs himself, and dedicates himself to "fleshing out" Beck's character in the script - after spending an entire season showing what a shallow, poor idea he had of who she really was. In a sadder example, Forty clearly empathizes a lot with Beck's affair with Dr Nicky - especially when he's on LSD - because of being abused himself by an authority figure (his babysitter) and being in deep denial about it.

When Candace walks into the store in the last scene of season one, Joe does the Sherlock scan again, and his "observations" are functionally identical to what he observed about Beck back in the first episode, with the added benefit of being based entirely off Candace's skirt, shoes and jacket, since he can't even see her face. It illustrates just how shallow and superficial Joe's obsessions really are.

You (2018) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Joe, while still nowhere close to a hero, is toned down severely from the novels, especially after the first season. Joe is a remorseless killer in the novels with no redeemable traits. The series works harder to turn him into a Sympathetic Murderer by reworking most of his killings, such as making his victims even worse (Henderson), changing them into accidents/self defence (Henderson again), changing it so that other people kill them (Delilah, Candace), or omitting them entirely (Fincher). His most heinous action — Beck's murder — happens offscreen, since it probably would have been impossible to sympathise with him if it was shown. The series also expands on his tragic backstory from a broken home more, makes his narration less vulgar and vitriolic, and adds one child character per season who acts as his Morality Pet whereas he loathed children in the books. Karen Minty. In the book, she's a kind but completely clueless nurse, who is heartlessly used by Joe even though she only wants a normal life with him. In the TV series, she's Claudia's best friend and co-worker, who, with extreme difficulty, helps Joe to get Claudia clean and takes care of Paco. The cop that Delilah dates, Fincher, has his closest book counterpart in a cop who - at least in Joe's estimation - is a creepy fame whore behind the mask. He's actually a kind, heroic cop in the series who genuinely cares for Delilah and tries to reveal the truth about Henderson's perversity. Forty. In the book, he finds out the truth about Joe and is happy to keep it quiet providing that Joe writes screenplays for him for the rest of their lives, on top of being a sleazy manipulator, animal abuser, and cruel pervert who heartlessly demeans everyone around him. In the series, he's not only more of a friendly (if not obnoxious and misguided) ditz who is genuinely devoted to his sister Love's wellbeing and when he finds out the truth about Joe, he takes a gun to Joe in an attempt to protect Love from him.

Then he acknowledges that being part of a famous family is a lot of pressure and could have caused Peach to internalize a lot of fears and keep parts of herself secret.

In truth their marriage is quite bitter and they don't get along with their children. In season 3 they finally go through a very acrimonious divorce, reflected in Dottie's deteriorating mental state.

Season Two ends with him and Love, both murderous stalkers, living in a fancy house in a great neighborhood. Meanwhile, Delilah and Forty are both dead and Ellie is forced to run away. Season Three despite ending positively for the surviving residents of Madre Linda, also ends with Joe murdering Love, passing it off as a suicide and framing her for all the seasons murders, Joe fakes his death (even cutting his toes off to sell the ruse) and burns his and Loveâ€™s house down, Henry is left technically orphaned, Dottie has lost both of her children and is still an alcoholic, and Joe is once again free to start over with a clean slate and carry on his obsessive and murderous activities. Season Four is by far the worst, with Joe now a billionaire and one of his students being pinned for his crimes.

The show also cuts out a lot of Joe's time hanging out with the Quinn family, his murder of Officer Fincher in Mexico, Forty's trip to Vegas, Joe tracking him down and attempting to murder him in the desert and Joe ending up in jail at the end of the novel for his crimes from the first book.

This shuffles away the old cast, forces him to adapt to a new setting, and acts as a continuing sign of his growing desperation for normalcy.

You (2018) / int_6ec4232f	comment	Casting Gag: A lot of the main actors play roles strikingly similar to the ones that made them famous: A Penn Badgley character in a television adaptation of a book series who is sociopathic and tech-savvy, uses social media to stalk and infiltrate the life of a much sought after, beautiful, but self-absorbed blonde woman in New York City with literary leanings, and getting away with it all? â€” are we talking about You or Gossip Girl? (This is quite possibly Casting Gag intentional.) Shay Mitchell plays a closeted lesbian/bisexual who is secretly in love with her blonde best friend, who is a victim of a Stalker with a Crush, thus making Shay's character a target more or less by association, just like Emily in Pretty Little Liars. Though, this time it's Shay's character who is manipulative and controlling, rather than the other way around. Elizabeth Lail plays Beck, who falls for a deranged, sociopathic Serial Killer who puts on a very convincing facade of being a sweet, down to earth and likable guy, just like Elizabeth's own character Amy in Dead of Summer. Victoria Pedretti once again plays a mentally ill young LA-based widow who supports a twin brother who is a drug addict despite multiple relapses, much like her character in The Haunting of Hill House (2018). Sean Pertwee is a gruff yet undyingly loyal bodyguard, like he was in Gotham.

You (2018) / int_819b6384	comment	Joe, while still nowhere close to a hero, is toned down severely from the novels, especially after the first season. Joe is a remorseless killer in the novels with no redeemable traits. The series works harder to turn him into a Sympathetic Murderer by reworking most of his killings, such as making his victims even worse (Henderson), changing them into accidents/self defence (Henderson again), changing it so that other people kill them (Delilah, Candace), or omitting them entirely (Fincher). His most heinous action — Beck's murder — happens offscreen, since it probably would have been impossible to sympathise with him if it was shown. The series also expands on his tragic backstory from a broken home more, makes his narration less vulgar and vitriolic, and adds one child character per season who acts as his Morality Pet whereas he loathed children in the books.

He's constantly shown to be looking out for Paco's best interests, and no-one is sad when Joe finally has enough and kills Ron.

Though at the end of Season 4, he becomes as bad as his book version as he murders one of his students and frames another for his crimes. Beck, so much, which makes the negative reaction some viewers have towards her even more noticeable. Book Beck is cruel about Joe to her friends, telling them he has nothing but her in his life. She's also a Gold Digger (according to Benji, but she also takes advantage of Peach), admits that she doesn't care about Peach, and intentionally seduces most of the men around her. She even admits to Joe right before he kills her that she just wanted Nicky to break up with his wife for her and she wanted to screw up his kids, even though she had no interest in pursuing an actual relationship with him. Television Beck is much kinder to Joe, is never rude about him to her friends, genuinely tries to help Peach, babysits Paco, and most noticeably, while she does cheat on Joe with Nicky, she also permanently ends the relationship when she gets back together with Joe. Blythe, Beck's classmate and friend. In the book, Beck dislikes her and complains about her endlessly. Blythe constantly criticizes Beck's stories (although Joe admits Jerkass Has a Point). When she and Nice Guy Ethan get together in the book, she is extremely rude to him and domineering. In the television series, Beck is still shown being jealous of her and Blythe is still self-important and snobby, but they become genuine friends. Blythe helps Beck with her writing without jealousy and ends up happy with Ethan. Forty. Joe despises him in the book, and while in the series he does describe him as an "adult baby" as someone who needs attention and love from everyone, and clings on tight to Love, he actually is a very sweet, protective brother deep down and his main creepy behaviour only comes out when he's high, while book-Forty is actually even more of a creep constantly.

Said man turns out to be her father. A whole episode basically is devoted to showing that Joe probably killed Delilah while she was locked in the cage. It turns out that Love did it. The final episode of season one launches an example with Beck's imprisonment by Joe and learning about everything he did for her. The audience has mostly been fed the story through Joe's warped perspective, which treats his obsessive behavior like a romantic comedy, and he insists that love can save his relationship with Beck. Beck, in response and getting time to process everything, admits how touched she is that Joe did all that for her, and that she now realizes how he was the only one who ever took care of her. This is what prompts Joe to let her out of the cage. But then only a few moments later, she attacks him, locks him up, and angrily demonstrates how a normal person who had just been locked up in a cage for several days would really feel: she loathes and despises him, and speculates that he's just a messed up "psychopath" using love as an excuse to hurt people. Season 3 appears to set up Joe lusting after next-door neighbor Natalie and then Love murders the woman at the end of the first episode.

When she shows up in season 2 and starts casually dating Forty, she tries to warn him and Love that Joe is a psychopathic Yandere, but Joe has spun the narrative that Candace, and not him, is the actual obsessive stalker in their relationship for far longer than they've known her at this point and they don't believe her.

You (2018) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Joe is a deeply disturbed guy who clearly sees himself as the protagonist in a romantic comedy, even explicitly referencing how "guys like him" always experience hilarious mishaps in romcoms. The show is, among other things, a deconstruction of romantic comedy behavior and the audience's instinctual sympathy for romantic protagonists. Season three is basically a deconstruction of the idea of the twisted perfect match. Joe and Love have similar pathologies, but it's not two peas in a pod — when you put two disturbed, violent people together into a marriage, you don't get a perfect match. What you get are two people who constantly worry their spouse is going to murder them and who actually make plans to murder their spouse. It's (understandably) a miserable atmosphere of paranoia and distrust.

"P.I. Joe" and "Love, Actually" in Season 2. After spending all of "P.I. Joe" trying to find out who killed Delilah and desperately hoping it wasn't him, Joe discovers that Love killed her, Forty's au pair, and Candace, and is a psychopath just like him. Then, in "Love, Actually", Joe finds out that Love is pregnant, Forty figures out that Joe is a Serial Killer and is shot dead trying to protect Love from him, and the soon-to-be-parents move to the suburbs, where Joe finds a new "You" to lust after.

In the books, Joe's sexism is fairly clear to the reader early on, as they're told entirely from his point of view, and his narration is shot through with sexist thoughts and language. In the show, however, Joe is actually pretty good at performing a kind of progressive egalitarianism, and even refers to himself as a "feminist." It's unclear to what extent he's sincere about at least believing that, as he gets very ugly and unpleasant with women when he's angry.

Benji not only finishes quickly, but he's uncaring about making her climax and leaves instead, leaving a frustrated Beck to relieve herself via masturbation. In a later episode, she also says that he used to nod off when trying to go down on her. Ironically, when Joe finally manages to sleep with Beck for the first time, he proves to be just as selfish as Benji when he lasts even less and doesn't even say anything, leaving her dry. He only notices something's really wrong the next morning when Beck texts her girlfriends about how quick he was and the girls all promptly mock him and act like it's a deal-breaker, much to Joe's anger and humiliation (who can see their messages because he stole Beck's previous phone).

At the same time, Love's dinner date with Joe plays out several rom-com cliches, which are revealed to be deliberate on Love's part. Joe disposing of Jasper's corpse using butcher utensils is match cut with shots of Love preparing a fancy dinner. This is a big hint that they're not that different. Love gags Joe the first time they have sex, which makes her look like a rapist. Then we find out she's a Yandere. Season 4 is this after it's revealed "Rhys" has been an alternate persona in Joe's mind all this time and Joe has been imagining every conversation they had.

When talking about Candace and how their relationship imploded, Joe says he's so paranoid about Beck because he was so into Candace, he "missed the signs." In the second season, he's so into Love and trusts her completely... so he utterly misses all the hints that she's not "all there." In the first episode of the second season, Joe walks past a camera crew filming a dead woman who looks a lot like Candace. This foreshadowed her death later in the season. Joe and Love substitute the word "love" with "wolf" when they tell each other they love each other, and Love playfully attacks Joe's neck with a toy wolf. In the penultimate episode of the second season, Love exposes herself as A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing with a knack for slicing people's necks open. The scenes of Joe chopping Jasper's body are juxtaposed with Love cutting meat, signifying that Love too is a killer. When Ellie finds out that Joe and Delilah are in a relationship, she threatens to run away from home if she sees anything between them. She does run away at the end after being suspected of Henderson's murder. Candace warns Forty "Don't come crying to me when Joe kills your sister". Come the end of Season 3...

In the books, however, Don Quixote is a man who went insane from reading too many chivalric novels and actually causes more harm than good over the course of his time as a "knight." It almost describes Joe to a T, especially as those he perceives as "helpless" are grown women with their own autonomy.

The last scene of the Season Two premiere, where we find out Joe kidnapped a man and stole his identity, and orchestrated almost everything we've seen thus far in order to get close to Love, whom he was stalking almost as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles. What, you didn't really believe Joe had changed, did you? Right when it looks like Joe has turned over a new leaf, realized the error of his ways, and resigned himself to his "punishment" of being trapped with Love for the rest of his life, we find out he's developed an obsession with his neighbor, and is already planning to find a way for them to be together.

You (2018) / int_a8dcb1d7	comment	Love at First Sight: A dark example; Joe's obsessive behavior towards Beck began from the very instant he saw her walk into the bookshop. The show implies at the end of its second season that Joe's "love at first sight" is really just superficial lust toward attractive women to whom he attributes qualities they don't really have. Joe sincerely believes it's love at first sight, of course, so the trope still fits.

You (2018) / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: Very slight one. Joe is immediately remorseful after he kills Beck in the book and breaks down in tears, albeit having killed her very brutally and sadistically and getting over in a few chapters). In the show, his guilt is replaced with a sinisterly calm and wistful monologue about how he helped her, although he does break down and apologise while hallucinating her in the next season. Beck's non-Peach friends come off much worse in the show than in the book, where they're actually fairly supportive of Beck, give her good advice, recognize Peach's toxicity and encourage her to pursue a healthy relationship with Joe (they don't know what he really is, of course). They're much more unpleasant in the adaptation, and there's a sub-plot (which isn't the book) where Annika goes viral when Peach shares video of racist remarks she made in college.

However, it is dismissed as [[Occam's Razor too much of a nutjob conspiracy theory compared to the simpler and public answer: that Natalie was a flawed and unhappy woman who made mistakes.

She goes into hiding and stays that way until she hears about Beck's death. She returns, solely with the intention of stopping Joe from hurting anyone else. When Joe flees to LA, she follows him, gets in a relationship with Forty, and despite her serious trauma, stays close to Joe so she can stop him from hurting anyone, especially Love or Forty. When she tries telling Love and Forty the truth, neither of them believe her. When she believes she has proof that he is a killer, she takes Love to prove it...and Love turns out to be psycho and kills her. It's ultimately All for Nothing.

You (2018) / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: It's revealed in his backstory that Joe's father was abusive to him, while his mom did nothing to protect him. Joe's mother was abused as well, but she did neglect him in the grocery store while drawing herself to other men, and she did abandon him. Joe met up with her later and asked if she did not ever love him. She said she did, but she could not take care of him. She did ask him to come with her and her other son and start a new, but he did not. Ivan Mooney, the owner of the bookstore, also counts. He took Joe in from foster care and was verbally abrasive to him, even going as far as to lock him in the book vault/cage whenever he acted out. Played with in Beck's case. Her father is more neglectful than abusive, preferring to dote on his new wife and her children instead of trying to repair his relationship with Beck beyond giving her money for her tuition, rent etc. Played straight with Love and Forty. Forty's father is a very critical, cold, and dismissive towards Forty, but this appears to be somewhat understandable as Forty is a drug addict. But this becomes so much worse when it's revealed that they covered up his rape by an au pair with money, and directly before, Love's mother slaps her hard across the face, blaming her for Forty's relapse.

In season 2, when Joe sees a hallucination of Beck, she undoes her scarf revealing bruises around her neck, implying that Joe strangled Beck. Forty.

Joe also lives opposite Love and frequently spies on her from his house, reminiscent again of The Great Gatsby. The Season 3 finale "What is Love?" shows a lot of homages to movies such as Audition (Love paralysing Joe and later getting killed herself) and Skyfall (Joe burning down his house to escape).

You (2018) / int_c9da2b5	type	Cast Full of Rich People
You (2018) / int_c9da2b5	comment	Cast Full of Rich People: Just about everyone is unusually rich. Beck in Season 1 felt out of place among her rich peers, especially the very wealthy Peach. Beck couldn't pay rent and often had to stay in demoralizing or bad jobs, as a TA, in order to make money. It's also clear in the book that Joe is very poor, but in the series, he has no problem packing up and leaving LA at the drop of a hat, and apparently doesn't struggle to pay rent despite all of this. Joe marries the super-rich Love and the two move to an opulent California suburb in season three, where they rub elbows with several obnoxiously rich neighbors. The fourth season's characters are an ultra-wealthy London social circle, comprised of several children of aristocrats and millionaires. They provide elite settings for plots, such as an extremely exclusive club, a posh art gallery, and a palatial country house.

You (2018) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: While it's not light by any stretch of the imagination, the adaptation cuts plot points that make both Beck and Joe appear less sympathetic, like Beck telling Dr. Nicky she can't break up with Joe because he's pathetic and depends on her, Beck cheating with just about everyone, and Joe being implied to be a rapist. It also tones down parts that are much more graphic in the book, such as Joe and Beck having sex in the cage just before he kills her, also shortening most of the torture Beck suffers in the cage. In the TV adaptation, Beck and Joe just kiss before she tries to escape, and we don't see Joe murder her, while originally Joe strangles Beck and suffocates her with a book. Again, it's still spectacularly dark, but Season 2 cuts back a little on the psychological aspects and plays slightly more like a straight romantic comedy. Joe is far less reckless with murdering folks and his relationship with Love has few obstacles. That is until the last two episodes when it's revealed that Love is just as Ax-Crazy as Joe.

You (2018) / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Joe. While it's a by-product of his obvious mental issues, it's still notable how countless times, Joe talks of someone being horrible for Beck and outraged by their lying to her when he's doing the same: Notable is his attitude toward Peach, citing it as the stalker behavior of "a person who wants her to herself, wants to control her life and not truly loving you at all." That Joe is the biggest stalker of them all never crosses his mind. When he finds Beck has been looking into his past, Joe rails at her on how "what kind of monster just goes ahead and dives into a person's past without permission?" In the first episode while watching Beck and Benji have sex he smugly notices they had Speed Sex and Benji is a bad lover that fails to make her orgasm. When he finally sleeps with Beck for the first time he lasts ''even less'' and doesn't even say anything or at least go down on her after, leaving her dry. All best summed up in the season finale where Joe goes on and on about all the dangerous people in Beck's life and how they could hurt her... all while she's locked up in a glass cell, begging to be let out. At the end of Season 2, Joe judges Love for killing two people so that she could be with him. In Season 3, Joe muses at how horrible it is at a party to put up with everyone else showing "narcissistic delusion."

She's also a Gold Digger (according to Benji, but she also takes advantage of Peach), admits that she doesn't care about Peach, and intentionally seduces most of the men around her. She even admits to Joe right before he kills her that she just wanted Nicky to break up with his wife for her and she wanted to screw up his kids, even though she had no interest in pursuing an actual relationship with him. Television Beck is much kinder to Joe, is never rude about him to her friends, genuinely tries to help Peach, babysits Paco, and most noticeably, while she does cheat on Joe with Nicky, she also permanently ends the relationship when she gets back together with Joe.
