Editor’s Note: This post contains spoilers for “You” Season 4, Part 2.
“You” has never been a series for the faint of heart, and Season 4 tests even the most vigilant fans of Penn Badgley’s serial killer drama.
Part 2 has everything: psychological dissociation, erotomania, secret hostages, Greg Kinnear, and more (with a side of naan). The five episodes barely rest before kicking off a stalker storyline for Phoebe (Tilly Keeper) that ends up being one of the breeziest parts of the whole season. From there, we learn the truth about Joe Golberg’s (Badgley) leisurely London retreat, and it’s a harrowing ride right til the end.
“We were interested in exploring the idea of redemption,” showrunner Sera Gamble told IndieWire before the season premiere in February. “The events of the past three seasons have worn on this character the same way it’s worn on us as we’ve watched it.

Spoiler alert: The following article discusses major plot points from “You” Season 4 Part 2.
“He can’t keep getting away with it,” one might think (à la “Breaking Bad’s” Jesse) when watching each new season of Netflix’s “You.” The soapy thriller, which follows its ever-murderous, ever-weaseling antagonist Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) as he terrorizes and kills person after person, underwent a format change in Season 4 before pulling the rug out from viewers once again in Part 2. With a twist so delirious and ripped directly from Goldberg’s deranged psyche (moonlighting as Professor Jonathan Moore), showrunner Sera Gamble and star Badgley were well aware of the pressures to keep audiences on their toes as they look ahead to new dynamics in a potential fifth season.
“From the beginning, Penn’s burning question was, ‘Are you going to try to redeem this man?’ This season is about the difference between a...
