Hellboy
The bombshell that Beck knew Joe had followed her to her poem reading changed my perspective.
What else did Beck know? Did she see him on the ship? Did she intentionally leave her curtains open? Did she knowingly toy with Joe's emotions?
Every interaction between Beck & Joe changed in retrospect. Beck knew from Day 1 he followed her. And she never confronted him. Never ghosted him. What else did Beck know?
This played around in my mind for a while. Beck surely didn't know Joe was killing folk or breaking into places - but she knew he was obsessed with her.
Did she essentially have a sixth sense moment? Were missing items adding up & she expected to find them with Joe, instead finding her phone? Was Beck always playing with Joe?
Her messages to Nicky did reveal her true thoughts. She thought of Joe as a toy. To use & abuse. She was never interested in anything other than keeping him on as a fling that wants more. Joe was never going to be the person for her. Joe just wasn't the guy.
To be clear - Joe's an evil man. But if Joe hadn't have been killing people, hadn't have been breaking the law - she still wouldn't have ever tried it on with him for real. They were fundamentally incompatible people.

Spy
One thing in the book that I liked better than the show was Benji's death. In the book, Joe cremates him & puts his ashes in a container and leaves it in Benji's storage locker. Before he leaves, he opens up two bottles of Home Soda (one for Joe, one for Benji) and if I'm not mistaking he even lit a candle. He took a hat with him out of the storage locker, and the name imprinted in the hat is Spencer Hewitt, which is the name he comes up with (in the show) right on the spot when a police officer stops him while on his way to spy on Peach & Beck. In the show it makes things an interesting easter egg, but I have a theory that in the show more to Benji's death happened off screen, possibly leading to him obtaining the hat & using the Spencer Hewitt alias when convenient.

Killer
So the book shows reality and the show romanticize everything he does but I argue the point of romanticizing. I mean has anyone ever watched good will hunting? Its the same concept the producers try to string you a long and make u feel comfortable in the decisions u make as if every kill he made was necessary to his survival even though any other sane human been would handle the situation in a much different way, instead they make u side with joe and make sure joe doesnt get caught while in the process of getting the girl hes chasing its trying to put u in the mind of joe even though his mind is literally wired in a much more complex way than other humans

Joe was intolerable in the book. Just a horrid person to be inside the head of. Pretentious, arrogant, misogynistic. But frankly, way more honest a portrayal of this kind of man. I think the show had a tall task to balance the way Joe presents himself vs. the way he truly is. Sometimes it falters and makes Joe more sympathetic than he truly should ever be. It's fascinating to see people who think he's justified or even attractive based on the show, having read the book where he's so abhorrent.

One of the best Netflix Originals Netflix has put out. They have a habit of hitting it out of the park with a new show, only to release a mediocre second season and completely BUTCHER it by season 3 (13 Reasons Why and Stranger Things come to mind, but all three seasons of YOU have been fantastic. Hats off to everyone involved: the acting, the script, the direction, the music, the cinematography, the narration MY GOD, THE NARRATION. everything about this show is onpoint

I loved the show and as an avid bookworm I was excited to hear the show was based on a book series. So after deciding to read it, I only found myself disappointed at how badly written the characters were and how hollow and 2-dimensions they were. The contrived plot was just bland, and I never followed up with the sequel. I actually regretted reading it, and that never happens when I read a book. I just found it to be terrible, like Twilight level bad.

I choose to make a choice. either the book or watch the Series. In this case. I prefer NOT to read the book as I'm so obsessed with the Series.
For instance, the trilogy of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo, Who Kicked the Hornets Nest & The Girl who Played with Fire, Writer Stieg Larson was FAB. but I never liked the portrayal of Characters in Movies.

I thought that nr 1 was going to be Joe.
Joe's is much more crazy. Angry. Delusional. Perverted. Creepy. Psychotic. In the book. He has no sweet sides. I was rooting for Joe in series. I wasn't in the book.
The series has more of a sympathy for the devil thing going on. In the book. You don't have any sympathy for him. At all.

Some people are commenting that the show has tried to humanize Joe and seem to show him as a misunderstood individual. Well, while you are not completely wrong, you must understand that the show has been written from the perspective of Joe. In his mind, all his actions are justified. The show is not suggesting that, Joe's mind is.

What about Amy Adam? There was no Amy Adam in the show. I read the first two chapters of Hidden bodies and it starts with her too. But I remember in season 2 Amy Adam was the fake alias of Candace when she gets with Forty! So I have yet to read Hidden Bodies to see the differences in the second season.

Some of this is wrong. I just finished the book, and never saw the show. In the book, she doesn't die in the basement. She tries to escape but the front door is locked. It's 4am, so no one can see or hear them. Joe takes her behind the counter, where he starts the strangling.

I just finished the book, and honestly I actually prefer the way the show handled it, especially the ending. In the book, Beck was not particularly scared or defensive to be in the cage and it didnt feel that joes character was challenged in any way

I finished both book and show. I like the tv show better. But in the book there are a lot of descriptions about Joe's ideas/thoughts/self-conversation, which are hard to be demonstrated all in the the tv show. Both are good.

I tried to watch the show. I've read both books multiple times and I absolutely love them! Couldn't stand the show though. I love Joe in the book and I don't like him in the show. I was disappointed when I watched the show.

By awarding some sort of justification for his killings it renders Joe somewhat more morally grey which I think adds to the conflict the audience experiences surrounding their relationship to the character

When shows kill a character they show the body if not then theyre not dead case and point glenn from the walking dead. Also in interviews Elizabeth always kinda avoids the topic of becks death

The whole relationship went very different in the book. They weren't very official for me and Karen came into his life at a different time as well as Dr. Nicky into Beck's life.

I love the show because it shows that when you consider the flaws of typical human beings, you can easily root for a protagonist who stocks and murders to meet his/her ends.
