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?
