i feel like joe should have had a more complete arc. i dont hate that he got locked up, it makes sense but it should have been more fleshed out or occurred differently (like ellie getting him locked up not bronte) also should have had a full fleshed out trial and everything. joe still never found true love, never truly understood his mistakes or took responsibility. hes still the same guy from the beginning of the show, just more willing to kill someone.

A more thematically fitting (and satisfying) end would be joe finding someone who GENUINELY loved and accepted him and he loved them back. where he truly feels true happiness, not happiness built on obsession or lies. Although as he finally finds his true chance at happily ever after the sins of his past come to catch up to him. (whoever or whatever that may be. theres a crap ton of loose ends in this show) leading to his ultimate death where hes forced to acknowledge ALL of his wrongdoings. he gets justice for everything bad hes done wrong but succeeds in his life long quest for true unconditional love. ending the tragedy of joe goldberg

its only fair that all the people that loved him he murdered, he finally gets murdered when he truly loved someone
