00:00The grand finale of You, one of Netflix's most renowned series, has finally arrived.

00:06This epic conclusion showed us the darkest side of Joe Goldberg and wrapped up the stories of all the characters.

00:13But what does the final message mean? What will happen to Joe?

00:16These are questions we're going to answer.

00:18Today we'll analyze season 5 and explain the meaning of the ending.

00:22Season 5 introduces us to Joe, married to Kate.

00:26They have been married for 3 years, and everything seems to be fine.

00:30They even got Henry back, the son Joe left behind in previous seasons.

00:35However, Kate is dealing with problems in her business circle, and this causes Joe to start killing again.

00:41As in every season, he is willing to eliminate anyone to protect the woman he loves.

00:46But just like in every season, Joe repeats patterns.

00:50Once again, a new woman appears, and Joe falls in love with her,

00:54which causes him to forget about his previous partner.

00:57This has happened to him constantly throughout the series.

01:00This time, the chosen one is Bronte.

01:03A mysterious girl who awakens Joe's old habits.

01:07That is killing and lying.

01:09But here comes a twist.

01:10It is revealed that Bronte is a fraud.

01:13Her real name is Louis, and she came to the city looking for Joe.

01:17Louis was a good friend of Beck many years ago.

01:20But when Beck died, she started to suspect Joe.

01:23Louis came to the city to investigate him, but she accidentally fell in love with him.

01:28The season ends with Bronte discovering the truth about Joe and confronting him in a fierce battle.

01:34Joe ends up in prison for the murders of Beck and Love, among other crimes.

01:39It is made clear that he will never get out of prison, so he will spend the rest of his life alone.

01:44This is the summary of the story.

01:46With this context, let's move on to the analysis.

01:49Help me reach my goal of 10 likes and 5 comments.

01:51Comment as much as you want.

02:04What will happen to Joe?

02:05The series ends by giving him the most terrible punishment he could suffer,

02:10spending the rest of his life alone with no one to love him.

02:13From the beginning of the series, Joe was portrayed as a man terrified of loneliness.

02:18As a child, he was abandoned by his mother, the first woman he ever loved.

02:24That's why in every season we saw him looking for love in other women.

02:27He always sought someone to love him, but he never succeeded because he himself was broken.

02:33Joe was incapable of loving in a healthy way, and that's why he never achieved the connection he longed for.

02:39With this context, his ending is quite tragic.

02:43Joe's loneliness in prison is absolute.

02:45He no longer has any meaningful connection with anyone on the outside.

02:50His son Henry hates him, so he will never visit, and none of the women he loved will come back to find him.

02:56Joe was left alone forever.

02:58The scene is very clear, but the series doesn't end there.

03:02In prison, Joe receives letters from fans who admire him despite his crimes.

03:07Joe is surprised by this and says an important phrase.

03:11Maybe the problem isn't me.

03:13Maybe it's you.

03:13This line is what closes the series and carries a deep meaning.

03:18First of all, the series is sending a message to us, the audience.

03:22It's saying that we are just like those people who send Joe letters.

03:26These people know perfectly well that Joe is a convicted criminal, yet they still admire him.

03:32This also happened in real life.

03:34Netflix presented Joe as a dangerous monster throughout the seasons.

03:38We all clearly saw the horrible crimes he committed, yet many fans still came to idealize him as a good person, a victim.

03:47Even by season 5, many fans were asking for a happy ending for him.

03:51That's why the line is so interesting.

03:53Joe says that maybe the problem isn't him, but us.

03:57After all, it is society that creates and admires monsters like Joe Goldberg.

04:02In real life, many people admire real criminals.

04:06For example, when the Dahmer series came out, many empathized with him and even justified his terrible crimes.

04:13The same thing happened with the Ted Bundy series.

04:16Society tends to romanticize monsters like Joe all the time.

04:20Let's move on to another point.

04:22I want to talk about Bronte.

04:23This character is quite interesting.

04:25She came into the season with the goal of investigating Joe, but she ended up falling in love with him.

04:31This happened for several reasons.

04:33First, because she always had a particular liking for antiheroes.

04:37That is, characters who are capable of doing bad things for good reasons.

04:41From her perspective, Joe was an antihero.

04:45Someone who was capable of killing to protect her.

04:47According to the show's writers, Bronte also functions as an avatar for us, the viewers.

04:53She personifies the feeling that many fans have experienced while watching Joe's adventures.

04:59Just like Bronte, many of us have justified or even defended Joe, even though we know he is bad.

05:06At a certain point, Joe confesses several crimes to Bronte, but instead of pulling away, she ended up justifying those murders.

05:14It's the same thing all of us fans have done at some point in some season.

05:18We have all justified Joe at least once.

05:21However, everything changes when she has a conversation with Marianne.

05:25This woman is a former lover of Joe who knew the worst version of him.

05:30With her vast experience, she is able to wake Bronte from the trance.

05:34She tells her the truth about Joe and also explains that truth to us.

05:39The writers placed Bronte so that we ourselves would wake up with her.

05:43We have all lived enchanted by Joe's charisma.

05:46He is a white and attractive man and has the script on his side.

05:49That's why it's normal to fall in love with him.

05:52But everything changes in the end.

05:54The final battle between Bronte and Joe serves to break the spell.

05:59This is where we see the darkest Joe in the entire series.

06:02The scene even feels like a horror movie.

06:05By this point, Bronte faced the purest version of Joe.

06:09A violent, insecure, and cowardly man.

06:12During the battle, they even reveal that Joe was the one who injured Bronte's ankle days ago.

06:17He did this when he was supposedly in love with her.

06:20This detail makes it clear that the guy is deranged.

06:24He was always bad and has never stopped being so.

06:27When Bronte defeats Joe, they show his most cowardly side.

06:31He is deeply afraid of loneliness.

06:34Therefore, he asks the woman to shoot him.

06:37Joe would rather die than be left alone and locked up.

06:40The final episode was in charge of breaking Joe's charm.

06:43Here we see him in the most vulnerable and pathetic way possible.

06:48When Joe is in prison, his hair has been cut and his appearance is more unpleasant.

06:53He no longer looks like the sophisticated and deep guy from previous seasons.

06:58Now he really does look like a criminal.

07:00Let's talk about another important character.

07:02I want to talk about Henry.

07:04Joe's son finally stayed with Kate, who has been his mother for the past three years.

07:09Henry initially showed signs of having behavioral problems.

07:12At school, he hit his cousin because the girl spoke badly about his mother.

07:17And then he threw a knife at his aunt.

07:19Henry was becoming a small version of Joe.

07:21Someone capable of causing harm to defend his family.

07:25This was a dangerous sign that Kate and even Joe himself detected in time.

07:30Henry's future will probably be good, as Joe got him therapy to deal with his problems.

07:35He also has resources from Kate's family.

07:37And it's clear that she loves him very much.

07:39But the most important thing is that Henry cut ties with Joe, so he won't have to grow

07:44up surrounded by his father's darkness.

07:47The series showed us a powerful scene in which Henry has a phone call with his father.

07:51Here, the little boy realizes that Joe is a monster and says goodbye to him.

07:57This call was heartbreaking for Joe, but perhaps it was the best thing for Henry.

08:01He admired his father very much, but he didn't know he was a monster.

08:05Upon discovering this, Henry was able to cut his relationship with him and won't have to

08:11grow up alongside his father's traumas.

08:14Joe didn't understand it, but with this event, his son was saved.

08:18The cycle of violence was broken, and now Henry will be able to live a relatively normal life.

08:24Joe wasn't fit to raise him, even though he loved him very much.

08:28He was sick.

08:29He had always been sick, and that's why his fate was to end up locked away.

08:33It was the best for Henry and for everyone.

08:36That's all for today.
