With three seasons available in Netflix“You, me and her” is a series that has gone unnoticed in the vast catalog of the streaming platform.

Created by John Scott Shepherd, “You, Me and Her” occupies an intriguing space between the classic spirit of ’90s romantic comedies and the modern aesthetic of mumblecore, popularized by the Duplass brothers.
