Killing Eve

The stylish spy thriller seriesKilling Evedraws a lot of similarities toYou’s Joe Goldberg, not least because it features a charming serial killer that you can’t help but fall in love with.

Killing Evehad a renaissance when it landed on Netflix earlier this year as US viewers became hooked on Eve’s irresistible relationship with assassin Villanelle. The premise of the series follows MI5 security officer Eve (Sandra Oh) who embarks on a wild game of cat and mouse as she tries to capture psychopathic killer Villanelle (Jodie Comer).

Villanelle and Eve’s obsessive love-hate relationship is similar to many of Joe’s relationships throughoutYou,particularly his marriage to Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti). They’re toxic and downright crazy, but seeing their relationship play out on-screen is addictive to watch.

Ripley

Andrew Scott takes on the role of penniless conman Tom Ripley in this neo-noir TV adaptation after Matt Damon’s star turn in the 1999 movieThe Talented Mr Ripley. Like the movie,Ripleyis also set in the late 1950s. It follows Tom, who is hired by a wealthy man to convince his reckless son, who is gallivanting in Italy to return home to New York. But Tom’s encounter with Dickie Greenleaf’s (Johnny Flynn) lavish lifestyle abroad is “the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder”.

Baby Reindeer

Baby Reindeerhas gone on to be Netflix’s biggest TV success story so far this year and has even made it onto their all-time top 10 list of most-viewed shows. The seven-episode drama is based on Richard Gadd’s autobiographical one-man stage play of the same name. Gadd plays Donny Dunn, a struggling stand-up comedian who works as a bartender to get by. But when Donny shows kindness to pub customer Martha Scott (Jessica Gunning), she starts stalking him and he’s forced to confront a dark trauma.

It draws parallels toYouwith the stalker element and the intense, self destructive behaviour of the individuals. But all in all it’s a truly harrowing tale of two broken people that you will be thinking about for a long time.

The End of the F***ing World

The End of the F***ing Worldsees James (Alex Lawther), a 17-year-old who believes he is a psychopath, and rebellious classmate Alyssa Foley (Jessica Barden) embark on a chaotic adventure to escape her turbulent home life.

LikeYou,the British dark comedy has a flourishing relationship between two outcasts and flawed characters who make terrible decisions.The End of the F***ing Worldis a cocktail of murder and illegal activities that will have you hooked from start to finish, which is why it earned its worthy place as one ofthe best British TV shows on Netflix.

Dead to Me

Dead to Mefollows cynical widow Jen (Christina Applegate) searching for the hit-and-run driver that killed her husband. She befriends optimist Judy (Linda Cardellini) at a grief support group, who is hiding a shocking secret that could destroy her life.
