The less you know about Behind Her Eyes going in the better, and while the Netflix drama feels slow-going at first, patience has its rewards. By the time it's over, this sci-fi-tinged limited series becomes a buzzworthy binge, one that will likely have you thinking back to clues you might have missed along the way. Read full review

“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. Read full review

The way that Lightfoot has led the viewers down this path is intriguing. Read full review

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. Read full review

Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor, itself an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw, never quite descended into ridiculousness. But it was a show that, for me, worked best in a place of spooky insinuation and became less interesting the more it spelled out exactly what was happening. Read full review

Watching the bizarre twist eventually unfold on screen, I felt shortchanged. The cost of surprise, it turns out, is feasibility. Reason and narrative continuity, too. If the series is a puzzle, its ending is a piece from a different jigsaw altogether. Read full review

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.

In fact one of the most intriguing series that netflix has ever produced ... I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the psychological horror style and is looking for something more palliative than "scary"

Wow, thats all i can say after watching this one, i never expected such a turn of events and i am still in awe. i really enjoyed it, though it scared me at times. The characters are interesting, and hard to figure out sometimes. Everyone is just suspicious and intriguing in a way and iWow, thats all i can say after watching this one, i never expected such a turn of events and i am still in awe. i really enjoyed it, though it scared me at times. The characters are interesting, and hard to figure out sometimes. Everyone is just suspicious and intriguing in a way and i really liked that. In any case, it is great and the end is just jaw-dropping. I am so angry lol. I definitely recommend it, its just 6 episodes anyway lol… Expand
