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
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.

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.

One of my favorite Netflix watches of late - the plot is so well crafted that everything you had watched from the first episode makes sense by the end.
You start by thinking you are watching a domestic drama miniseries and it subtly and suspense-fully turns into a psychological thriller. Every episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the big reveals are done so subtly that you have to think to understand what is happening. The plot twists were revealed in such a timely, logical way, it made this a very entertaining watch.
It is not much "horror" but more mystery and psychological - highly recommend if you enjoy this genre.
