Everyone is obsessed with YOU and the memes are hilarious...

It may have come out in 2018 but YOU is already the breakout Netflix series of 2019. The psychological thriller originally aired on Lifetime in the US but has since moved to Netflix and now it's being binged all over the world. From its incredible cast (Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail and Shay Mitchell all star in it) to its terrifying plot line (it's about a stalker), fans are as obsessed with every single aspect of it.

Netflix's 'You' changed one major detail from book's original ending

The show follows Joe Goldberg (Penn), a bookstore manager with a mysterious past, who stalks Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth), a graduate student and aspiring writer. So far, so simple. Except Joe manages to orchestrate a relationship with Beck and, in the process, commits multiple horrifying acts. The series is so wild and gripping that it has officially broken the internet with memes.

From Beck's lack of curtains (so much of her drama could have been avoided with curtains) to THAT boat scene (think of the children), there are so many WTF moments in the show that it translates perfectly to being memed. With that in mind, we've scoured social media and gathered together 37 of the funniest, creepiest and help me I'm being stalked YOU memes all in one place for you.
