Joe Goldberg may fancy himself the anti-hero, but this season's big twist reminds us he'll always be the villain., Netflix's absurdist drama about a love-addled serial killer trying to break bad , run a particular risk.
Oh, it was never going to be that simple. Episode 5 of Season 4, "The Fox and the Hound," reveals that Rhys Montrose, a bestselling author always in the background of the rich people's parties, had orchestrated the murders, attempting to frame Joe for them after discovering who he really was. Joe survives Rhys' murder attempt and the episode leaves off with him vowing to take Rhys down his own way, as Rhys announces his mayoral run.
What, then, has Joe been doing when he's "Rhys"? Making Marienne's life hell, for one thing. After he allowed his former lover, played by Tati Gabrielle, to escape him during their encounter in Paris earlier this season, he returned, kidnapping her and ultimately trapping her inside his glass box he set up in an unused section of the London Underground.
The final episodes of the season take the show back to basics, reminding us of the status quo via an inspired, if ludicrous split-personality twist. Joe is an awful, scary person, and not even his clear horror at what he has done can stop him from continuing to perpetrate violence on those closest to him in the name of saving himself. He murders Kate's father to give her control over her life. When he finds Marienne's body after her death , he makes it look like a drug overdose.
Still, Joe remains the narrator, forcing us to see his actions from his perspective. He cleaned the whole situation up in the only way he knows how: by dispatching anyone who could be considered a loose end. We experience all of the desperate reasoning behind everything he does. We believe thatthis is the only way to “fix” things. We're in his head, watching as he continues to trap himself in a hell of his own making.
