You season 5: What's in the Netflix series?

In You season 5, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) goes back to New York after staying away from his violent tendencies for three years. It looks like he has a normal life with his wife, Kate (Charlotte Ritchie), and son, Henry (Frankie DeMaio).

But his dark past quickly comes back to haunt him when he meets Bronte (Madeline Brewer), an aspiring writer who starts to look into Joe's past.

At first, Bronte seems like a possible romantic partner, but it turns out she has her own plans. She wants Joe to be punished for the crimes he has done in the past, especially the murder of Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail).

As their relationship develops, Bronte tries to deceive Joe into believing he can "fix" her. He's done this with other women. Their relationship becomes a risky revenge and manipulation game. Joe's life falls apart as Bronte and his past threaten him.

When they get into a fight in the woods, Joe begs Bronte to kill him because he knows he will never have the love he wants.

Joe is shot in the genitals by Bronte, but she doesn't kill him. Instead, she leaves him to deal with the consequences of his actions. The end of Joe's time as a romantic antihero comes when he is arrested.

At the end of the series, Joe is given a life sentence in prison and is cut off from everyone else. He is also forced to face the consequences of his past. But the imprisonment could hardly change him, as the viewers hear him stating,

“Why am I in a cage when these crazies write me all of the depraved things they want me to do to them? Maybe we have a problem as a society? Maybe we should fix what’s broken in us? Maybe the problem isn’t me. Maybe it’s you.”

All 10 episodes of You season 5 are available to stream on Netflix.
