Finally, Season 3 is out, which means bring out the popcorn and clutch onto your blankets and pillows and see the twists and turns happen. There will be spoilers if you keep reading.

We left off with Joe Goldberg holding up a knife to Love's throat…suddenly, she has a baby, Joe and Love get married and start living in an upper-class suburban neighborhood where Keto diets and polyamorous relationships are the norms. Joe, as the narrator, tells us that everything will be different…however, that dream died the moment they built a cage in the basement of the newly bought shop that Love turns into a bakery. Then, of course, the neighbor that Joe starts a new stalking obsession. She's a gorgeous blonde and married to a man that is barely home. What could go wrong? Two psycho killers in Love now have a son to raise; seriously, what could go wrong? The answer is everything. Everything goes wrong. Joe already feels stuck in this fake neighborhood, and of course, so does the girl next door. I think we all know where this is going…except here's the twist…Joe does not kill her.

Love also has issues of her own, like calling her son "forty" all the time after Love's late brother. Even though their son's name is Henry, she wanted to create another version of her brother to fill the empty void.

Love struggles to find and make genuine friends in the new snobby neighborhood. Joe works with trying to be the best dad. Both characters fail miserably at both.

Anyways carrying on, I think this has been the best season yet. We wonder what Joe is up to and how he will get out of the marriage situation, but now we also have to start thinking about Love's decision and what she will do next. We see her act on impulse, and it leads to some interesting conclusions. Now, the audience is dealing with two killers and a baby. Joe still has the urge to protect, except this time it is to a baby. There is foreshadowing about the baby's future; don't worry, Henry lives.

In the previous seasons, we have seen Joe's patterns, and at first, we begin to see it, but that is ended quickly by his new wife...

We meet the mysterious Natalie, the not so suburban wife. The couple tries to go to therapy to work things out. Joe begins by watching the neighbor and getting off to her in the car started like Beck. The patterns are all too familiar, the watching, the approaching, the social media stalking, the actual stalking, the keeping of her underwear, and it ends, but get this...not by Joe.

Joe then starts obsessing with a new woman, Marion. Joe finds his sanctuary in the library. I am not surprised by where he found his refuge and a new woman. Yet, at the beginning of the season, he barely notices her. Then, we are later introduced to a teenager, Theo that Love befriends and does a little more than friendly get-togethers (if you know what I mean). So here we are, the worst couple in history, they are staying together for Henry. Both are cheaters and serial killers. Neither one of them trust the other. They become friends with this couple, who happen to be polyamorous. However, I find it a little ironic that Joe and Love try to be polyamorous with them, and neither of them likes it, yet they are cheating on each other.

Then the disaster of a couple (Joe and Love) becomes the kidnapping team. What was completely unexpected is that Sherry and Cary Conrad managed to escape the cage in Love's bakery basement, becoming a stronger couple and well-known motivational speakers and writers together. Their success was all thanks to Joe and his brilliant plan of getting out of his marriage.

We also start to notice that Joe is attracted to women who are how do I say it? Broken? Beck was attracted to loser guys who did not value her; Natalie is stuck with a guy who watches her every move but is never home. Then, we have Marion used to be a drug addict, and her ex still is, and lastly, Love, who is capable of killing and still makes jokes about stabbing people in the eye. Let's not forget that she still imagines her dead brother and her ever-controlling mother.

We know that this season is different because Joe rejects it when the first opportunity comes to sleep with Natalie. That is very un-Joe-like. He tells himself that he is a father and a husband and restrains himself. Joe is constantly out of place in the third season, he is stuck in this wealthy suburbs, and for a guy who grew up in an orphanage of some sort, he cannot blend in no matter how hard he tries. He goes out into the woods with the men, and he starts to befriend them, but he still thinks very little of them. The only person he trusted in the season was Dante and Marion. I believe that the way that season three ended was absolutely appropriate. As some would argue, Joe ends up moving to Paris, the most romantic city in the world. In the end, Joe somehow ends up with no one, and we would not have it any other way.
