Penn Badgley brings his specific set of talents back to You season two

Photo: Netflix If there were an award category for Best Actor in a Creepy Role, Penn Badgley would have racked up at least two nominations for his work in both You and Gossip Girl. And as You season two premieres, I’m reminded that one of Badgley’s greatest talents is simulating dead-eyed masturbation.
In You season one, Badgley’s character, Joe, is working at a rare bookstore on the Upper East Side and obsessively stalking a woman named Guinevere Beck . It starts out as innocently as stalking can, but quickly escalates to him murdering several people to be near her. One night, he’s watching her masturbate through a window of her brownstone — which has giant windows, seemingly no curtains, and is on the first floor — from the stoop of a brownstone across the street. He is also masturbating.
Thankfully, Badgley brings his specific set of talents back in season two. Joe has relocated to Los Angeles, and has started working in a health-food store called Anavrin . In L.A., Joe is hiding from his ex Candace, and seemingly pledges to keep his murderous, scheming impulses behind in New York. But 20 minutes into the first episode, we see it again. Joe has met a woman named Love — seriously — and has become obsessed with her in seconds.
As soon as Love expresses autonomy that can’t be predicted, for example, by kissing him after they had agreed to be just friends, he freaks out. So in this sense, his dead-eyed masturbation is a believable performance. His look is very “watching porn 20 minutes before his roommate is supposed to come home.” It feels like it’s perfunctory, self-serving, and totally unsexy to behold.
