You Season 4 Part 2 is here and is nothing like you expected. After a soft start to the season with part 1, part 2 goes in all the way with amazing twists and turns that you never see coming anod we finally see the real Joe Goldberg.
Starting with one of the biggest twists this season. Joe Goldberg was the killer all along. They did a very good job at making us feel that Joe was finally on the track to being redeemed but it seems it was all a lie. It turns out that Joe was just hallucinating the whole time and was in fact the killer. I feel that this finally showed us the true side of Joe and that by the end of the series he has accepted it and knows that he will always be this killer.
It was also shocking to see that Joe had actually kidnapped Marianne and had her locked in the cage the whole time but he did remember. I also loved the fact that she and Nadia actually managed to outplay Joe and free her from him without him ever knowing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Marianne helps to bring Joe down next season if it is indeed the last one.
Speaking of Nadia her ending was absolutely heartbreaking. She was so close to getting evidence on Joe but her caught her and in his own twisted way saved her as he framed her for the murder of her boyfriend Ethan. This was the true Joe as he had accepted that he was a killer and wasn’t avoiding that side to him anymore. Amy Leigh Hickman did such a good job as Nadia I would love to see her again in the future.
Speaking of actors who did good jobs I think the person who owned this season was Tilly Keeper who played Lady Phoebe. She did an outstanding job with her character this season and I love that she ended up doing what she wanted to do and survived the wrath of Joe.
I must hand it to Penn Badgley for his acting in this part as he did a fantastic job at balancing the Joe trying to redeem himself and the true psychopath version of Joe. If I was Netflix I would push for him to get nominated for an Emmy for his performance that’s how good he was.
One thing I was disappointed by was the fact that yes Love Quinn was just a hallucination. I do feel that scene was added to the trailer to make sure people watched part 2 who didn’t enjoy part 1 as much. I think for a season 5, which I highly assume they will do, they need to find a way to bring Love back full time because the show just doesn’t feel the same without her. There are several rumours that season 5 would be the last season and it would be very interesting to end the show with a Joe vs Love situation, where she finally tries to get him caught after everything he has done.
Overall, You Season 4 had a slower start with part 1, but part 2 really supersized it. However I would make season 5 the final one as I’m not sure where else this show can go and I would defiantly bring Love back as the show just isn’t the same without her.
