'You' star has ‘mixed’ feelings about finale

Spoilers for You Season 5

You star Charlotte Ritchie, who played the role of Kate Lockwood in the series, shared about her thoughts on the finale.

About her character’s decision to try and kill Joe, she explained, "She is genuinely afraid of him and what he can do. I think she just sees how this man consistently gets away with everything, and she's like, 'He has to not exist anymore for us to be safe. There's no system in the world that could keep him from us.'"

"What I love about this series is that they really lean into the genre. They really lean into the history of the show," Ritchie added. "I think it does the whole narrative justice."

Reflecting on the scene where her character is alone and dying with Joe, she said, "I love that that's in there, just Kate and Joe both quite dryly commenting on how absurd it is and how sad that they're both going to die I just think it's a great scene. I think it's really well written."

However, her feelings about Kate’s ending are mixed, "I was so happy because I've grown to really love this character, and I found it was so fun to get to be right in the midst of getting him. But I also felt like if there's ever a poetic justice in death, there was some justice in Kate going down with him.”

"I really don't believe in people dying because they've done bad things, but in the world of the justice of this show, there's such a redemptive element to Kate's demise that it would've been OK," she remarked.
