Description

What happens when love turns into surveillance? In this episode, we dive into the disturbing psyche of Joe Goldberg, the antihero of Caroline Kepnes' psychological thriller You. Told entirely from Joe’s chilling perspective, the novel takes us through his obsessive, manipulative, and deadly pursuit of Beck. We explore how digital footprints become tools of control, how self-delusion masks violence, and what makes Joe such an unforgettable—and terrifying—narrator. If you thought love was blind, wait until you hear what Joe thinks it justifies.
