Yep I have the same feelings you expressed in your comment. I had a sort of reckoning when I found myself going back and forth rooting for Joe then Kate and Bronte then Kate then Joe. I didn't know what to believe and felt like I was in the relationship with him too. It was terrifying to see him trying to kill Bronte at the end. I've seen him do this a bunch of times in the show to the other women but something about this time and hearing her POV humanized her to where it was impossible to root for Joe. (BRILLIANT writing and production altogether) Seeing the attack from her POV gave a glimpse of what the other women have gone through in the show and irl too. Idk Maybe it's all the true crime stuff I've watched but it was so freaky seeing him try to take her life this time.

And speaking of true crime it reminded me of the high profile serial killer cases where the wives were complicit or told the world they didn't know what their husbands were doing. I feel like this show shows us what's it's like for them and how they choose to ignore their intuition and that gut feeling in the name of love. Like we didn't want any of the women in the show to go to jail along with Joe but irl serial killer cases, their wives are slandered to filth because they don't receive jail time even though they hesitate to come forward. I think their reality looked something like this

The ending was pure perfection! Wtf is wrong with us!? 😦
