I was impressed with the 4th season of You. The showrunners do a good job of reinventing the character and new situations that are intriguing. The season's setting in the UK worked well and the new rich and wealthy entourage of Jonathan Moore worked.
Praise to the writing of this season. I think television in the last few decades has gotten the audience to embrace and even root for the anti-hero. If we think of Tony Soprano from The Sopranos, we rooted for the mobster despite despicable acts. The same applies to Jo Goldberg, we forgive and allow his dark deeds. The writing and plot twist with Rhys Montrose turned things on its head. The writers reminded us clearly this season how evil and damaged Joe is. He is not a character that we should sympathise with, his mentality and actions are shocking. The plot twist to show how he is the real culprit and the conclusion of how he embraces the depths of his darkness closes out any doubt of how sinister he is. He is no longer chasing virtue and being a good person. Goodness will only show as much as his dark personality will allow and he accepts this.
