Is ‘You’ Based on a True Story? Is It Modeled After a Real Killer?

So, rest assured – the You universe (or shall we say “You-niverse?”) is steeped in fiction, not any sort of real-life stories. But that doesn’t mean you should stop watching your back or anything like that. These shenanigans Joe gets into (and his dangerous, unacceptable behaviors) can just as easily happen in real life. It’s always good to keep an eye open and focus on things going on around you, just to keep what happens to Beck from happening to you, you see. Stay vigilant and be safe!
