Description: A dangerously charming, intenstly obsessive young man (Penn Badgley) goes to extreme measures to insert himself into lives of those he is transfixed by.

Review: Joe Goldberg is back. The obsessively love-struck bookworm is now married and the father of a newborn son. Although there would be no new season, if all that family happiness were not somehow infused with lies, stalking, suspense and murder. 
At the end of season two Joe wanted to kill Love, but when she turned out to be pregnant with his child, he decided to marry her and move to the suburbs of San Francisco where they would spend the rest of their lives playing house. And this is where season 3 starts. Turning a page is easy, keeping it clean is another matter. Especially when a couple of extremely annoying influencers turn out to be living in your neighborhood. And they know how to stir up you killer instinct like no other and an attractive neighbor next door lurs Joe’s attention. And so, in no time at all, Joe relapses into old habits. From that moment on, I thought it was going to be much of the same. But then I kept watching. Surprise, it’s not! 
Joe is no longer a lone wolf, he is a part of a pack of three. And the writers have found a new vein to make this ride as rich and exciting as possible, with Joe’s wife Love as one of the driving forces of this season. She is basically Joe’s equal, but adds her own manic spice to the series.  She’s less calculated, more impulsive, passionate and that clashes on all sides. Both with Joe and the local residents. 
Penn Badgley remains unmatched as stalker Joe, though Victoria Pedretti as Love shines. “You” season 3 is definitely one to watch.
