“You do bad things for the people you love but it doesn’t mean it’s right. It is because love is more important” This is what Joe, the main character in the series, said to a little kid after he did something ‘bad’. It somehow sums up what the series is all about. It could be love that drawn Joe, a bookstore manager to Beck, a struggling new writer after he first saw her at the bookstore. After a series of barely ignorable stalking from Joe, the series started like your usual cheesy romantic story but it turns out creepy and bloody as it continues to unravel before your eyes. Yes it could be love or could it be addiction? Addiction which can become a monster as what this psychopath mentioned in one of the episodes. Writer, books, bookstore, literature- the setting and everything about this series can become metaphorical and deep but with love that fuels the main character to kill people, wounds and lesions of his victims will surely be way deeper. I am a compassionate person but strangely I supported his decisions, cheered him for every ‘bad’ person he killed. Am I becoming Joe? 😂 This is my first Netflix series and I became a part of it. For a series to hook viewers, it should not only tell a story but it must create a mystery, carefully wrap it and eventually reveal the surprise towards the end. Then boom, reveal another unwrapped whatever before the credits appear. ‘You’ from Netflix did just that. It’s making me scream for season 2. Now na! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
