If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, You is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. The 5-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 3,997 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch Penn Badgley work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, You earns its spot. You treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. A dangerously charming, obsessive man goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of women who fascinate him. Credit to Penn Badgley and Charlotte Ritchie for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It ran for 5 seasons (2018–2025), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What makes You hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, You delivers. The tonal similarities to 56 Days are real, though You carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Penn Badgley carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

You wrapped up in 2025, created by Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
