Her actions are similar to Joe’s in that they come from a twisted rage of passion, as seen in her murders of Candace ( Ambyr Childers) and Delilah ( Carmela Zumbado). You goes from being Joe’s story to Love’s story as the show gives her the runway to inject new life into the narrative. RELATED: 'You' Season 4 Review: A Risky Reinvention for Joe Goldberg Pays Off Love Gave 'You' New Life in Seasons 2 and 3 The opportunity to do a 180 on the face of the show was there for the taking, but sadly it came to a fiery end. It was at that point that You should have realized there was something special within her character, something that deserved to be explored not just further alongside Joe, but delved into more deeply with her own lead role. As viewers, there were glimpses shown of how much of an equal she could be to Joe until late in Season 2 when it became evident that she had some serious demons inside her like Joe. Seeing everything that Joe thought he knew come into question made for some exhilarating storylines between the two. That was until Love entered the picture in Season 2 and progressively turned into a fixture in his life. In all of his escapades, there was never the necessary pushback to make him feel uncomfortable. Love was such a strong character because she was Joe’s equal. You may have missed the mark in killing off Love Quinn ( Victoria Pedretti) in the Season 3 finale because if it had gone the other way and Love became the protagonist moving forward, it likely would have been the new twist needed to reignite the series. It's unfortunate that it's gotten to this point because Joe really was as complex a character as there is, but there are only so many bodies he can amass and victims he can stalk before it starts to feel unbelievable. Joe Goldberg ( Penn Badgley), or as we know him in this season, Professor Jonathan Moore, remains an intriguing character and the one who remains the most interesting this season, but it remains to be seen if this redirection of him being the one targeted will be enough to keep You going beyond this season. The popular Netflix series is in between Part 1 and Part 2 of its fourth season, and while it's attempted to switch up the tried-and-true premise that was rehashed in multiple ways through the first three iterations, it still may not be enough to inject some much-needed freshness into the show. We’re at somewhat of a crossroad when it comes to You.
