Credit: Courtesy of Netflix You is the ultimate antihero confection—Joe Goldberg is a reprehensible, horrifying entity who deserves every punishment he gets, but it sure was fun watching him fixate on his various victims and pile up the body count. This story of delusion, romantic obsession, and serial killing was frothy fun for five seasons, but if you’re not ready to let go (Joe would relate), there are other sources of similar dark vibes and violent delights that can help you deal—and if you’ve burned through all the great shows we’ve already recommended, it’s time...
