You Don’t Know Me Ending Explained: Is HERO Innocent & Who Shot Jamil?

The BBC One original series You Don’t Know Me offered a gripping mystery but its ending also divided viewers by leaving a lot of questions unanswered. The series follows the unnamed protagonist only known as HERO (Samuel Adewunmi), a young Black man from South London who is on trial for murder. Proclaiming his innocence, the show then tells the story in retrospect, but it is unclear whether HERO is a reliable narrator. Capped off by brilliant acting, You Don’t Know Me takes the classic murder mystery plot and adds new dimensions by taking on the problematic criminal justice system in the UK.
