Shows that feel likeYou (2018–2025)
If you loved You, the closest series we have are Luther (2010), Dexter (2006) and Sharp Objects (2018). All three share You's twisty and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Alienist (2018).
If You hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: murder, serial killer
The difference: Easier on the paranoia than You

One thread runs through both: murder
The difference: Trades the paranoia of You for an angle of its own

Twisty and unsettling in the same breath

The same preoccupation in both: serial killer

A killer moving through a friend group where everyone is hiding something
The difference: Straight teen slasher — scares and mystery, no time inside the killer's head

Gritty crime in both cases

Both lean on paranoia more than on drama

A dark New York where fixation on a killer becomes its own kind of hunger
The difference: 1896 period detection told from the hunters' side, cool where You is intimate

A methodical predator and the detail that finally gives him away
The difference: Procedural and external — no time inside his head

Desire, jealousy and class envy curdling into something criminal
The difference: An ensemble of teenagers and a whodunit structure — no single guiding voice

Mystery with a pulse of paranoia, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to war & politics than You does

Mystery built on twists, twice over
