The character of Joe is a conflicting one, he’s been winded up in situations which clash between his thoughts and actions. However, Joe has certain boundaries that he won’t cross.

There's One Line Joe Goldberg Will Never Cross

Penn Badgley gave us even more insight into the brain of Joe Goldberg. In a recent interview, Penn revealed the line Joe won't cross. Yes, there actually is a line he won't cross.

If you remember both season 1 and 2 of You, Joe’s always shown having a soft spot for the children. In season 1 it was 'Paco' who he watched over and tried to protect from his abusive stepfather at all costs.

In season 2 there was 'Ellie,' well Joe did get her older sister and only guardian killed, but he's still trying to take care of her now that she has nobody. And we've seen him kill a lot of people, but never a kid.

In season 2 we can see Joe ending up in multiple troublesome situations in the pursuit of protecting Ellie. He murdered Henderson for Ellie and kept her out of trouble in every way. So, there is one line that even a serial killer like Joe Goldberg wont cross is hurting children.

In the end of season 2 when Love’s secret is revealed, Joe starts resenting her for being like him. The character of 'Love Quinn' played by Victoria Pedretti is still alive in show because she was pregnant; Joe stopped himself from hurting her only because she was pregnant with his child.

"Clearly Joe has the integrity of a saint when it comes to people underage, and I think the writers are just like 'we’re not gonna go there.' Even if it's inconsistent.

Even if people who are this bad might actually do that, and they probably do, I think we would all be nauseous and frankly I wouldn't want to be there," Penn said.

Joe Goldberg’s Childhood Flashbacks

There are multiple flashbacks from Joe’s childhood which might be a way to humanize Joe's character and explain his psychotic ways. We learn that Joe's childhood was bleak.

His dad was abusive to his mom and him, and both parents seemed to treat him as a burden. In the end we see little Joe shoot his father with a gun his mom owned.

The flashbacks explains Joe’s mommy issues, his fixation with women he likes and his obsessive need to be loved. Because he’s had such a traumatic childhood and is in a way conscious about what he’s become as an adult, Joe is protective of children.

Joe understands how important it is to protect a child’s childhood. So, in both the seasons we see him taking drastic measures to protect Paco and Ellie. According to Penn, Joe is especially protective of his own child and that's why Love is still alive.
