This You trivia quiz has 50 free questions with answers and follows Joe Goldberg from Mooney's bookstore in New York to Los Angeles, Madre Linda, London and back again. It covers Beck and the glass cage, Love Quinn and her twin brother Forty, Marienne, the Eat the Rich killer, Kate Lockwood and Bronte, and how the whole thing finally ends for Joe. There are questions about the show's making as well: how it started on Lifetime before Netflix picked it up, the 40 million viewers who found it in a month, the creators Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble, and the actors behind Joe, Beck, Love, Marienne and Kate. Caroline Kepnes' novels get their share too, including the sequels that took Joe to Bainbridge Island. Questions run from easy to expert, and every answer has been checked against a reliable source. Spoilers for all five seasons, obviously.
