You: Season 3 - Who could be worse than Joe?

 


This third season brings an interesting and new dynamic. Near Love's impulsiveness, Joe doesn't seem that bad now, which is, per se, scary.

How does a serial killer cope with everyday life problems?

Joe is now a married man with a little kid to take care of. He is an intelligent adult. He knows what he is supposed to do, how he is supposed to behave, but… can he?

His compulsions didn't disappear, and the surrounding environment was not exactly healthy. The introvert and shy Joe lives in the suburbs now, with nosy neighbors. He can't possibly fit in.  

Oh, and don't forget, there is a baby in the middle of it!

Connection

The connection between him, Love, and baby isn't compatible with his fantasy of a perfect dad. Things aren't what they suppose to be, and Joe realizes that. He quickly starts to question himself about his ability to connect. 

Once more, deep thoughts and reflections. Hearing his thoughts, we have true insight into what is going on inside his mind. It is fascinating to watch his journey of self-knowledge. 

He feels he must find a way of making it work. How can this relationship work? Will they become a team? Will they put knives in each other's backs? I loved the couple therapy scenes. It provides some good funny moments!

Love

Joe is no longer the only serial killer and psychopath in the block. And the odds of that happening were… zero? Yet, for the show, it worked perfectly.

In this season, Joe is fighting very hard to be a better person, a good dad, but can Love control herself? Can they have a normal interaction with other human beings? Definitely not!

Predictable or amazing?

Serial killers, kids, and suburban life were too much. Wasn't it? We know it could not end well. Yet, Joe had a unique and altruistic decision. Giving his son to Dante showed a human connection - something he thought he could never have.

Love's end was, somehow, predictable, but it was a good scene anyway. 

Despite the amazing yet predictable end, Joe is not cured or anything. His obsession continues. So, the question remaining is: is Marienne safe?

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
