Finale

Honestly, the final episode was a complete mess - absurd and downright disrespectful to the audience that stuck around all this time.

(Spoiler alert incoming!) Bronte gets shot and somehow - magically - manages to run away on a broken leg like she's auditioning for The Flash?! How exactly did she overpower Joe, a character who's been portrayed as physically dominant the entire series? Then Joe finds her, drowns her... but surprise! She just wakes up moments later, totally fine, tracks Joe down instantly, and takes him down like it's nothing. Oh, and the police arrive at the speed of light too, because why not?

Also, why did Joe completely lose his intelligence in this last season? He casually leaves incriminating writings lying around like he's begging to be caught. And Bronte's betrayal? It was painfully obvious from the start! Why would Joe - who has been paranoid and calculating for years - trust a random woman who popped out of nowhere?

And let's not even get started on Kate. Not only does she miraculously survive, but she faces zero consequences for her corrupt actions - from covering up child cancer scandals to casually ordering a hit via Joe. We're just supposed to root for her happy ending? Seriously?

There are so many ridiculous, recycled plot points too. Joe falls into yet another messy love triangle. His wife suddenly stops loving him just in time for a new woman to appear. Kate's brother, who literally pulled a knife on Joe, ends up being treated like a sweetheart. And Joe, who once planned every move meticulously, now clumsily locks the wrong twin sister in a basement without even masking up or knocking her out properly? Come on.

Joe, despite all his horrifying actions, was a complex and captivating character. He deserved a much more meaningful ending than this laughable, lazy spiral into prison. Honestly, a powerful, tragic death would have been a far more fitting closure - not this circus act.

Maybe - just maybe - if the writers had taken a scene from Breaking Bad's ending episode, they could have delivered something truly memorable instead of this disappointing mess.

This show was supposed to be about Joe's journey, not Bronte's, not Kate's, not random new characters crammed into the last minute.

Sad to see such a promising show go out like this.

The finale i expected was supposted to be chaotic, thrilling spine chilling, but the writers literally made the finale the worst episode of the whole series. Such a shame to see one of my favourite show going down with such a poor ending.

The final episode completely deflates the intense buildup that the rest of the series carefully constructed over the years. Joe was always a character walking a tightrope-constantly balancing his manipulative charm with his sociopathic tendencies. The beauty of the show was in the discomfort it created, making viewers question why they were rooting for someone so irredeemable. The finale throws that all away in favor of an oddly tidy resolution that robs the series of its signature tension and complexity.

The finale felt like it was written in a rush, as if the writers just wanted to wrap things up with a bow, regardless of whether it made emotional or narrative sense. Major characters were sidelined or given abrupt exits. Plot threads that were carefully woven earlier were dropped without explanation or resolution. The final confrontation, if you can even call it that, felt uninspired and lacked any real emotional weight.

We deserved better. YOU deserved better.

This is so painful. I never thought I'd rate my favorite show 1 star but this finale felt like a stab in the back ..why just why?

I've been a major fan for this series since 2022 I made a lot of people watch it. And now I regret it.. I finished this season in one night And when a song by mitski started playing my exceptions reached the sky for this finale ..out of all endings. They somehow made it worse than the ending of New blood and I'm not saying I want Joe to win .. but this ending felt so forced they ran of ideas ..and not to talk about these girls having super powers and Joe getting fooled twice? TWICE? Like hello?? That isn't the Joe in season 3 and 4.. that's so disrespectful for the fans to end it like that ..let alone trying to make the ending so humiliating for joe just to make it funny..and it was so bad Good job writers ruining this masterpiece.

I'm so sick of hamfisted feminist ideological garbage. "You" was an excellent psychological thriller in spite of that, but they got completely carried away in the finale. It's absolutely underwhelming and a massive shame. Seasons 2, 3, and 4 were all phenomenal with engaging finales. This finale was flaccid.

It felt like the writers abandoned the show's core identity in favor of virtue signaling. Instead of delivering the tight, suspenseful, and morally complex storytelling that defined earlier seasons, they leaned into cartoonish caricatures and forced messaging. Joe's character arc, which had always been nuanced and disturbing in a captivating way, was flattened into a bizarre justification of his actions that didn't align with the careful buildup we'd seen before.

Worse, the finale lacked the edge and risk that made the show such a standout. Gone were the sharp twists and layered tension-replaced instead with tidy, unearned resolutions and an over-reliance on monologues that felt like lecture notes rather than dialogue. It's frustrating to watch a show that once balanced social commentary with gripping storytelling so well fall prey to the very pitfalls it used to critique.

The whole season 5 was excellent until the last episode. You can tell the writer is hesitated and afraid to stay true to the story till the end. The writer tried so hard to turn Bronte into a hero that nothing making sense. Her character becomes ridiculous, unbelievable, annoying.

Joe begging to shoot him after running around the wood like a monster, does not make sense.

Characters supposed to be dead were brought back to life which again cheapen the story. I feel that we could have an epic conclusion if the writer is not afraid to be bold. Unfortunately, what we got is a sloppy episodes that makes no sense.
