Netflix subscribers have slammed the final series of a hit show - and they all agree that there was one big letdown.

While the newest season of The Last of Us has many of us gripped away from Netflix right now, there is one particular show on the popular streamer that threatens to bring many back.

The hit Netflix psychological thriller first graced our screens back in 2018, with the fifth and final series dropped on Netflix last week.

I am of course speaking about You, which has left fans gripped by the serial killer Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley.

“Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant,” Badgley told Tudum.

"And this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish."

Meanwhile, co-showrunners and executive producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo added: "It’s so rare that you’re afforded the opportunity to do five seasons of a show, let alone complete the story — while also bringing your character and the production back to where it all began.

"It was truly a unicorn experience and an absolute career highlight for both of us."

While You season five brings back some familiar faces and storylines, many viewers are in agreement the finale to the series doesn't quite hit the spot.

Beware, spoilers for You season five follow.

Many fans were disappointed that it was new character Bronte (Madeline Kathryn Brewer), who finally proved to be Joe's downfall, and not a fan favourite character.

"So the final season of You consists of some random a** girl wrapping up Joe’s storyline and no Ellie or Love cameo," one person on Twitter penned.

While a second added: "Finished You and wtf some random ass lady just end Joe’s story up when it should have been Love Quinn."

Considering Love Quinn died in season three, this might have been tricky for You to have pulled off, although Victoria Pedretti's unhinged character died appear in a dream sequence in season four.

Ellie Alves, on the other hand, likely didn't return because Jenna Ortega is incredibly busy nowadays.

While season five may not have hit the spot in some fans' eyes, the new set of episodes does bring the incredible You storyline to an end.

"We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York," executive producer Foley added.

"We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new."
