Then the new season comes out and excels at immediately engaging you in the tense new narrative.

Yet,we got Season 5, and now I’m sad we won’t get another one.

That isn’t to sayYou’s ending wasn’t satisfactory, because it was.

However, this is where the issues become clear.

Penn Badgley bids goodbye to Joe Goldberg with the final season of You.

However, it is overwhelmingly simple and undercuts the tone of the ending.

The brief comedic tone arguably minimizes some of the trauma Joe has caused others.

It felt like a piece of information I should be chuckling at.

I’m not trying to say the finale was weak because of this.
