The popularity of true-crime stories reveals a deep societal fascination with killers, epitomized by Netflix's series 'You', featuring Joe Goldberg as a charismatic yet cold-blooded murderer. Over five seasons, he grapples with his dual nature as both a hopeless romantic and a dangerous psychopath. As the series reaches its conclusion, audiences are left entranced by his journey of attempted self-rehabilitation, raising questions about attraction to 'bad' characters. In light of 'You's end, viewers are offered recommendations for other shows diving into similar psychological themes and twisted narratives surrounding criminal minds.
"You stars Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, a serial killer who also happens to be a hopeless romantic in New York City... trying to rehabilitate himself with a new wife and a new outlook on life."
"The reaction to Joe Goldberg has been strange â many have declared their obsession with him because he's undeniably handsome, even though he's a cold-blooded killer and psychopath."
"As You, one of the most outrageous serial killer shows in recent memory, is finally coming to an end, we've got suggestions for your next watch... options should have something for every type of serial-killer-show viewer."
"Dexter's protagonist solves crimes, but he's also a vigilante serial killer... he only targets the criminals of Miami's seedy underbelly. Balancing his two different worlds isn't easy, but it makes for hugely compelling television."
