You Don’t Know Me may have slipped people’s minds when it first aired on the BBC last year. However, its debut on Netflix has given the crime drama a new lease of life and it is wowing viewers around the world with its “grip” (opens in a new tab) premise and plenty of twists and turns.
Based on Imran Mahmood’s 2017 novel of the same name, You Don’t Know Me sees Hero (Samuel Adewunmi) being framed for murder. Instead of seeking legal advice, he tells the story of what happened after his girlfriend, Kyra, became involved in London’s criminal underworld. Are you telling the truth? That’s something that will keep you guessing until the end of the four-part miniseries, which is now firmly sitting in the top three on Netflix in some countries, including the UK.
