The show remains problematic YouNetflix
In the past year, when friends or coworkers have asked for my feelings on the Netflix series You, I have either dodged the question or acted with a sort of ambivalence. “It’s compelling,” is the most I’d offered up.
And this glamourizing of stalker behaviour can have real-life consequencces. “Media portrayals can wear down a woman’s ability to recognize the red flags,” says women’s rights advocate and public educator Julie Lalonde. “It can delay our ability to respond [to stalking] because we’ve been encouraged to view that behaviour as romantic for so long that it becomes hard to recognize when a person is a threat.
This confrontation is mirrored in the season’s most interesting twist, when Joe learns that his girlfriend is not the clueless victim he made her out to be, but a charming sociopath like himself. As Love locks him in his own cage and reveals the homicidal lengths she went to in order to be with him, Joe balks, viewing the revelation as a betrayal of his own moral code and his initial conception of her.
For instance, Love’s homicidal nature is a clever trick on the part of the show’s writers, sparing viewers from more gendered bloodshed on the series by putting the knife squarely in her hands, but it also gives Joe exactly what he wants, eliminating the women who would otherwise get in his way—one of whom is a former victim , traumatized by her abuse at his hands.
