But with the revelation that Love is as murderous and warped by the traumas of familial life as Joe is, You reshapes the understanding of this season and its two most important characters, revealing the corrosiveness of all-consuming desire. There were issues that prickled, of course: Joe’s insistence that wearing a baseball cap is like donning an invisibility cloak the grating precociousness of Delilah’s young sister, Ellie (Jenna Ortega) and, of course, the near perfection of Love herself. Like its first season, You season two is arch, infuriating, and wholly engaging. In essence, his dream girl becomes a nightmare. In its place is a prickly, dejected confusion as Joe ( Penn Badgley) listens to his latest paramour, the heiress and chef Love Quinn ( Victoria Pedretti), as she carefully extols her myopic derangement and the murders she has committed - including that of the poor Delilah Alves (Carmela Zumbado). Gone is the wiry menace with which he usually navigates the world. There is a look that settles across Joe Goldberg’s face in the finale of You’s second season that I can’t get out of my head.
