The famous stalker Joe Goldberg returns for a final stalking spree in You season 5. The final season came out on Netflix on April 24th, drawing fans and new watchers in.

For the finale, Joe Goldberg returns to New York City with his wife Kate and son Henry. The final season follows along with the previous seasons, adding plot twists and surprises around every episode.

Like the previous seasons, Joe returns with a new love interest, adding another level to his stalking and killing. This season brings many twists and turns, guaranteeing to leave the viewer on edge.

Penn Badgley, who plays Joe, does a great job of returning to his character and really embodying the personality of Joe. Charlotte Ritchie returns as Kate, and does a great job of returning to her character as well.

This season brings a new love interest into Joe’s life, Bronte, played by Madeline Brewer. Brewer’s character brings a lot of surprise and twist to the season. Brewer does a good job getting into her character and does well at fitting into her character.

Since the last season of You came out 2 years ago, the actors did a great job coming back to their roles. Season 5 is significantly better than the last season, with Joe back in his original town, New York City.

Season 5 starts off after season 4 ended, with Joe and Kate moved back to New York with Joe’s son Henry. The season follows the similar plot the previous seasons have, which is what fans seem to like about the show.

This is the final season of the series, which the cast and fans think is a good idea. While the season has gotten a lot of fans and support, it’s time to be wrapped up after 5 seasons. Penn Badgely, the actor who plays Joe, says he is very happy about the ending of You because it makes sense to put an end to it.

Badgley says “The way this show plays with questions of how we reward bad people, that was a more playful question eight to 10 years ago. It’s not as playful a question now, and it comes with way more stakes, and I’m glad we’re not going to be playing with it any longer. And for that reason, I’m really glad it’s ending.”

While the final season was good, the ending was very predictable. For most fans, the ending was pretty easy to guess, but overall the season was packed with action and twists.

While the previous seasons had some comedy built around the plot, this season seemed to be a little bit more serious and less comedy-like. The effects and music added nice touches as well.

For anyone who enjoyed the previous seasons of You, this season is definitely worth a watch. It’s a nice closing to the 5-season show, wrapping up Joe’s life of stalking and killing.
