Here's a Quick Refresher on How Many People Joe Has Killed on 'You'
Season 3 of You is now streaming on Netflix, bringing viewers even more obsession and murder told through the eyes of everybody's favorite serial killer, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley). What began way back in season one as the simple story of boy-meets-girl, boy-stalks-girl, has become increasingly convoluted as Joe's myriad crimes keep threatening to catch up with him, prompting him to first relocate to Los Angeles under a new identity, and then subsequently move to the suburbs with his bride Love Quinn (who is also a deranged murderer).
Each season of the show so far has featured a different cast of characters and a new obsession for Joe. We all know by now that when Joe fixates on a new target, it's not long before things get bloody, but it is far too easy to lose track of just how many people have been unfortunate enough to get in his way.
Fortunately, Netflix has released a helpful new video to refresh your memory on exactly how many times Joe has committed murder... and then got away with it.
Spoilers follow for all three seasons of You.
Benji
Remember him? Joe's first on-screen victim, Benji, was kind of a douche. But that didn't mean he deserved his death-by-peanut-allergy.
Peach
The best friend of Joe's "soulmate" Beck, Peach Salinger was a socialite who knew how to throw shade... and fire a gun. She was onto Joe from the very start, which sadly meant she didn't make it to the end of the first season.
Elijah
Joe killed Elijah, his rival for Candace's affections, before the viewer was first introduced to him in season one, but it was a little while before we saw him pushing the guy off a roof in a flashback.
Ron
This is one of the show's less memorable deaths, perhaps due to the fact that Ron was arguably less deserving of fans' sympathy than Joe's other victims. He was the scumbag neighbor who terrorized little Paco.
Beck
How naive we were, to think that Guinevere Beck would escape her stalker. While to this day we haven't seen a body, making it entirely possible by TV rules that she is somehow still alive and could one day resurface, for now it definitely looks like Beck is dead.
Will's creditor
Did this guy have a name? All we know is, he came to collect on Will Bettelheim's debt, only to find that Joe had taken Will's identity. He didn't last long after that.
Henderson
This affable comedian was hiding almost as many secrets as Joe: including a pattern of predatory behavior when it came to young girls. His death is definitely the most memorable from season two: you'll never look at a Roomba the same.
Ryan
We first meet Ryan Goodwin as the slightly sleazy TV news guy who's reporting on Natalie's disappearance (we have to clock that murder up to Love, not Joe), but it's only once he is revealed to be the ex-husband of Marienne, Joe's newest obsession, that we know his days are numbered.
Love
Joe spends a great deal of season three looking for a way out of his increasingly troubled marriage to Love Quinn-Goldberg, but when you're married to somebody with an even stronger bloodlust than you, divorce isn't really an option. The season finale culminated in an incredibly tense showdown in Joe and Love's suburban home, in which he turned the tables on her one last time and killed her using the same poison she tried to use on him... then faked his own death and framed her for their murder-suicide.
