Joe in "You"

Who doesn’t clutch their pearls when the main hottie in a movie or tv show is handsome, charming, flashes a big smile, and pushes his hair back like Uncle Jesse in Full House. Can a hottie also be creepy ? If so can you be attracted to someone and also scared and or perplexed by them ? If you get the hots for real bad boys, meet Joe and John in THIS, Then THAT.

“You” is a Netflix show that has a likeable killer named Joe. He is charming and even works at a bookstore. He seems like a normal guy with a tucked in shirt and a tidy apartment. He even gives a kid in his apartment building his sandwich for dinner. Super sweet ! As the story unfolds you see that he is a little crazy especially about his love interest Bec. Bec is a super sweet, beautiful, and intelligent girl. She is even an avid reader. Reading seems to be their bond and they both fall in love. What seems like a normal attraction at first unfolds into a fatal attraction as the show progresses. He just loves her too much ! We are able to listen to Joe’s thoughts, which gives us his perspective. His love for Bec is so strong has to get rid of any people that seem like obstacles to their romance. Joe’s love turns deadly for anyone standing in the way of his love even when she doesnt love him enough anymore..hot or not ? He makes you want someone that loves you that much, or maybe not want love at all. If the intense twists and turns of Joe’s mind keeps your heart racing and you end up bingeing Season 1 and Season 2 then you should watch another show but this heartthrob loveboy is based on a true story.

Dirty John

Another Netflix show, “Dirty John” is based on a real-life story about a master manipulator named John Meehan and a Businesswoman Debra Newell. Debra had been married four times and was willing to keep looking for her perfect mate. After meeting on a dating website John quickly convinces her that they should marry. Debra is head over heels in love with this charming man so she agrees. Although Debra is love blind her family and friends are not. Digging into John’s past they realize something is not right. With prompting from others Debra unfortunately finds that her knight in shining armor is really a pathological liar with an ugly temper, a criminal past, and a long history of conning, manipulating, and abusing women. She quickly realizes that she was just his next love victim. He used his looks and charming ways to sweep her off her feet but was coming into her life only for deceitful purposes. When John’s cover is blown, he goes berserk . After many twists and turns John’s behavior leads to him being killed. Did love drive him crazy or was he crazy all along ? Do you think John got what he deserved in the end ?

If you watch Joe and John I would love to know what you think about their crazy, creepy, and deadly love. I think these two shows would definitely keep you on the edge of your seat and clutching your pearls at the same time. Just watch out for the Joe’s and John’s in real life. Drama on TV is one thing but this type of drama in real life is totally unneeded. These two shows are a perfect reminder that all that glitters isn’t gold. Although, a guy with hair like Uncle Jesse may con me too.Do you personally pick your next binge or do you let the auto selection guide you ?
