It has suspense, mystery, supernatural elements, all sorts of twists and turns. This show, that could be categorized as a slow burn, has only 6 episodes. You can tell that there's something wrong, that something doesn't add up, but you can't tell what. And they did a good job of wrapping all that into a package that kept me hooked and engaged.
Good acting by everyone involved, decent music to keep the intensity up, very well shot, and they seem to jump back-and-forth in their storytelling which didn't feel choppy at all. When you start figuring things out, you're gonna be like "I did NOT see that coming!" Or at least "Why did I not see this coming!? The clues were RIGHT THERE!"
Parts of the show, I thought were super predictable, until they weren't. But i had to wait until the end to find that out. And i wasn't disappointed at all. This show is a quick weekend watch, I'm glad that they decided to keep it to 6 episodes and didn't do 10.
I'd recommend the show!
Only, don't watch the show while you're doing something else. There will be clues here and there that you'd wish you had picked up as you start putting the puzzle together at the end. If you like shows with accents, you should surely watch this one
Adele (one of the main characters) says it herself: keep an open mind.
A good, bingeworthy 6-episode series that kept me company on a rainy weekend. Keep an eye out for clues and details throughout the series, although I guarantee, you still won't expect the ending!
I admit I was quite caught off guard with the twist and change of tone right in the middle of the series, but in my opinion it made the show even more intriguing than it already was. Still, I'm sure because of this it won't be everyone's cup of tea but definitely give it a try anyway.
It's a limited series so don't expect any season 2 (although I really wish there were, given the ending!) but just enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Great acting and loved the cinematography, was definitely not expecting the production to be this good.

Behind Her Eyes: A dark psychological thriller series which segues into horror so smoothly that you hardly notice it happening/ The plot at first seems a bit too hackneyed - a psychiatrist's secretary, Louise, has an affair with her employer, David, and becomes best friends with his wife, Adele, at the same time. But there's a lot more going on than meets the eye, Adele's parents had died in fire which David had rescued her from. There is also a mystery as to why David and Adele had to move from Brighton and Louise suffers from night terrors and sleepwalking. The horror is mostly psychological but some really disturbing events occur on screen. There is also a paranormal touch to the events which cannot be revealed without giving too much away. Plus you get a couple of plot twists which will made me gasp but were convincing. Directed by Erik Richter Strand and written by Steve Lightfoot. On Netflix. 8/10.
What a massive twist! The first couple of episodes seem slow, but once you go past them the show is very interesting. Nothing can prepare you for the massive twist in the end
