The Netflix tv series, “You” is an example of a piece of media that I disagree with because of the ideology that comes with this show is that a physically attractive white male has the privilege to get away with violent tendencies. Specifically, towards women who seem normal but have their own flaws as well. The main character, Joe, has this obsession that eventually goes out of control throughout the series. In the first season, he meets this woman named Beck at a bookstore where he works because Joe enjoys reading and has a profound knowledge of dark criminal books. He falls in love at first sight and wants to know more about her from the get-go. After some time, he stalks her and learns her daily routine including her social and personal life. Joe makes it seem like every time they meet up, that it was fate or pure coincidence and the moment Beck starts to fall for him, he becomes even more infatuated with her to the point where love knows no bounds. A common pattern that occurs in the show is that once there is another individual who is in the way of Joe and Beck’s relationship, Joe feels threatened and has the desire to protect her from everything. For example, he found out that she was still talking to her ex, Benji, and he decided to kidnap Benji in this cage that Joe somehow has the decency to still feed and “take care” of his victim. Once he finds out that Benji is not worthy of living, he immediately kills him and has no remorse whatsoever. This is a continuous cycle where Joe has the intelligence to make sure to not have any missing holes if someone were to question if an individual went missing. For me, the problem that I have is that because Joe is a privileged white male, local law enforcement have no reason to doubt him because he has this persona of a bookstore clerk that has no social life and does not have the ability to be violent. He has that appearance that allows him to escape with no trace and to continue these horrible acts with no remorse. In season two, he does the same thing, but in a different city and with a different identity. He starts to question whether or not if he is a good or bad guy, but that internal crisis is tossed lightly towards the end of the season. Overall, the show has grabbed the attention of many people based on the platform the show is on as well as having a character who is physically attractive that people do not have a problem with him being a serial killer. Joe, who is played by Penn Badgley has said numerous times that his character is not meant for people to be romanticizing about. In reality, that does pose a concern because any individual that may look like they have a normal life and a good appearance could get away with it and can easily take advantage of you.
