YOU Season 4: All hope for Joe Goldberg’s redemption dies a cruel death

With season 4 the fascination with the protagonist and probably the show finally ends because it was never about seeing him caught, it was about seeing him absolved.

Anupamaa : Why tell a story beyond its happy ending?

Wasn’t Anupama  supposed to make a name for herself in the world of  business after walking out of her marriage? Now  she is tied down to domestic problems again. Is it because as an audience, we might like to believe we like to root for professionally successful women, but in our hearts we find more satisfaction in watching women broiled in emotional relationships?
