Featured reviews
I don't get why there are so many bad ratings and reviews on this. I thought this show was so good and the plot twist at the end was mind-blowing. It kept me guessing until the very end and even if you think you can predict what's gonna happen at the end, you can't. And then if you go back and watch it after knowing what happens there are so many clues and details to catch. I loved it and if you enjoy twist endings like I do then I definitely recommend watching. I wish I could watch it again for the first time. It's been at least a month since I finished it and I still can't stop thinking about it. One of the best shows I've seen in a while.
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
Behind Her Eyes is a decent story - up to a point - and well acted by Simona Brown, Eve Hewson, and Tom Bateman.
I won't rehash the plot. I will say it keeps you guessing, and there are a few twists.
However, at the very end, there is one twist too many.
Also, I think people were misled and upended by what it was they were watching. They were expecting one genre, and it started that way - then it turned into another genre, and the people watching weren't necessarily fans of the second genre.
Behind Her Eyes has very nice production values and good-looking people. The story could have been much stronger, and as far as the "twists," they should have quit while they were ahead.

The question with this movie: is the whole build up worth what it culminates to? The ending, the twist of sorts .. that you may see coming or not. Now you have to be the judge of that ultimately - I can only give you pointers and tell you my perspective on it. So for the ending to happen as it does, a lot of things have to come together that are almost .. coincidence. Certain things you can't plan ... actually hoping for or planning for something to happen the exact way it does is rather ... let's say tough.
Having said all that, the build up is quite nice and it really brings you closer to everyone. Especially our 3 main characters ... and another one we do not get or suspect from the start. The acting is good, the story is working.
There are a lot of red herrings thrown into the mix and the story seems to revolve around one thing more than ... well something completely different at first. But this mystery and the way it ... evolves is more than fine. I think a lot of the viewers will be able to guess that there is more to the story early on though. Not to mention to figure certain dynamics out.
And then there is this other element to it. You'll either embrace it - or it will completely take you out of it - "non-realistic" and all that. Suspend your disbelief is what I say to that - if you can.

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
