What kind of watch this is
You is a 2018 mystery drama that asks how far a person will go to become someone else’s obsession. Penn Badgley plays Joe, a man whose charm is just the surface tension before he breaks. The series runs 38 hours across 5 seasons. That is a lot of time to spend watching someone dismantle a life with the casual confidence of a man watering houseplants. It is for anyone who has ever checked a profile picture too long.
How it did with audiences
Netflix reported that over 40 million viewers streamed the first season within its first month. By December 2019, that number climbed to 43 million for the full run.

Nielsen later ranked it tenth among top original series in the U.S. from late 2019 to late 2020, citing 10.96 billion total minutes watched.
