You: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Creepy serial killer thriller that became a smash hit
Year: 2018-
Certificate: 18
You is one of Netflix's biggest hits, although it actually started out on the Lifetime channel in the US before the streamer snapped it up, and transformed the serial killer thriller into a global smash. Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley sets the skin crawling as our star, New York bookstore manager Joe, who seems OK at first - if a bit sleazy and pleased with himself - but reveals a darker side when he becomes obsessed with a customer. Joe narrates the series and pulls at our sympathies as his crimes mount over the course of the show. He's smart and funny, so easy to listen to and even start to understand or possibly root for - but he is, undoubtedly, a monster.
Series two finds Joe moving to Los Angeles and finding a new obsession, while the third heads to the Californian suburbs and gives us a dark love story that's reminiscent of Dexter. The fourth goes international, taking Joe to London and (briefly) Paris. The show really does strain credulity at times, but you don't watch this for kitchen sink drama. You is a truly addictive show that veers from unbearably tense to gasp-out-loud audacious, with flashes of humour to lighten the dark mood. (Four series)
