Netflix’s new nail-biter of a miniseries, is thematically chaotic, and its characters are messy, but its ending has an effect like breaking the seal of a ketchup bottle—a startling, satisfying pop. ... “Behind Her Eyes” manages to be both over the top and efficient. It’s the kind of show that rewards a rewatch, if one is able to stomach it. ... Part of the fun for the viewer, too, lies in just letting go and seeing where the series’ dizzying hairpin turns will take you.
“Behind Her Eyes” is a fantastically entertaining magic trick of a TV show, so confident in its incongruous genre mashup that you won’t be able to look away. You might love the exceptionally audacious ending or you might hate it, but you’ll certainly talk about it either way.
I can’t help but feel it would be much more enticing were it released on a weekly basis. As a binge watch, Behind Her Eyes is overly drawn out with not enough drama to make up for the rather dull storyline.
Unfortunately the pacing here is too slow and many may abandon the train before it gets where it’s going. “Behind Her Eyes” is the perfect example of a six-part series that should have been four. Its stretch marks are unseemly. Less can be more.
Some of Behind Your Eyes makes a bit more sense once you get to its ridiculous conclusion, but it largely takes meaning away from what came before rather than adding new depth and excitement.
Its first episodes are oddly hollow. ... It’s not particularly invested in who Louise or David are, and it’s not all that interested in Rob either. ... Seeing the end does help explain the shallowness and heady ungrounded slickness of the previous five episodes. The empty characterization isn’t egregious, but it seems like an apparatus that’s been built around some hidden central engine the show doesn’t want to reveal.
In its first few episodes, “Behind Her Eyes” is an engaging enough psychosexual thriller about a trio of bored people trying, as bored people often do, to make their lives more interesting by making their lives a bit sexier. ... Slowly, surely, and then very suddenly, “Behind Your Eyes” goes from a taut thriller to the realm of the bizarre and downright fantastical. ... “Behind Her Eyes” is just too ridiculous to take even half as seriously as the show takes itself.
