Recently, Netflix released a new series Behind Her Eyes based on the book of the same name by Sarah Pinborough. It is a mystery thriller where a single mother, Louise is trapped between a couple, David and Adele where the wife is her friend while sleeping with the husband. From there, she uncovered the secrets that will blow you away.
Here are the reasons why you should watch Behind Her Eyes.
The Entanglement
From the beginning, you get to see something is boiling under the surface of the seemingly perfect marriage of David and Adele. Especially after David and Louise began an affair. Things get a bit more complicated when Louise befriends Adele and slowly uncovers the unorthodox nature of Adele’s marriage. She is torn between loving David and protecting her new best friend.
The tension will keep you on the edge as you predict how are these people going to end up in the end. Especially when you throw in a boy from Adele’s past who mysteriously went missing.
The Acting
Simona Brown played the struggling single mother really well. Tom Bateman is the conflicted husband and psychiatrist juggling his work, his marriage, and his affair. But the star of the show has to be Eve Hewsen for her hauntingly elegant yet unsettling portrayal of Adele.
From the walk to the twitch of her fingers, you will either be charmed or creeped out by her acting.
The BIG Twist
This two-pronged mystery involves marriage issues and the psychic nature of the soul. The combination of the flashback, the focus, and the way the story is arranged makes for a good mystery thriller.
If you’re a fan of the genre then I highly suggest you stay away from social media because they’re already talking about major spoilers there and go in watching the show blind. That is if you haven’t read the novel.
