The synopsis and description does not do this show justice. I was captured by its darkness and intrigue from the start. So many reasons why this show worked well. In a bizarre and strange way the viewer can relate to Joe and his frustrations. We also see things from his point of view. Goes without saying his actions and behaviour is despicable but a crazy realisation is that Joe is in all of us. We all stalk other people's social media accounts behind the scenes. The only difference is Joe is prepared to go full throttle and act on his sociopathic tendencies. This is why he is such a fascinating character.
Season 1 and Beck. Season 1 does a great job of showing how flawed, selfish and messed up the modern young girl can be. Benji despite being a flawed person himself understood what she really was and shared this truth with Joe. Joe was blinded by infatuation and his idea of the perfect soulmate. He was even willing to overlook her cheating because she 'loved' him. Nobody deserves to die but I didn't care much for Beck and did not miss her at all.
Season 2 and Love. We saw a damaged and broken girl who was much better match for Joe (Will). A great season that sadly had its fair share of disaster because lets face it Joe attracts it like honey. Love totally surprised us.
I don't see why they didn't end the show after season 2. It should be a mini-series. Season 1 and 2 flowed well and made sense but how to go on after this? Joe seems to have found a similar person that is as peculiar as him. Yes he can continue his usual habits with a new girl but it could have ended like that. He's not on the run anymore. Alas I will keenly watch season 3 when it comes out.
