Detailed Explanation
Joe Goldberg's victim count grows with each season of You. In Season 1, he kills Benji (peanut oil allergy), Peach Salinger (shot), Elijah (pushed from window), Ron (beaten to death), and his girlfriend Guinevere Beck (strangled). Season 2 adds Henderson (pushed down stairs), Jasper (dismembered), and Delilah (killed by Love). Season 3 includes Ryan (axe), Natalie (killed by Love), and Gil (staging suicide). Season 4 expands his count further with Rhys Montrose, Roald, and others. Joe always justifies his actions through twisted logic—he's not a bad guy, he's just "protecting" the women he loves from bad influences. His psychological gymnastics make him television's most terrifying romantic lead.
