If you've heard of Behind Her Eyes, the new Netflix series adapted from Sarah Pinborough's thriller. As it turns out, Behind Her Eyes has approximately a thousand twists, and seeing them all pay off one right after the other might be incentive enough to watch it. The day after single mom Louise (Simona Brown) has a protracted interaction with a stranger, she shows up to her new job in a psychiatrist's office only to find that the hunk is actually David (Tom Bateman), her boss. After some awkwardness, they agree to let the moment slide and act like professional adults… but David and Louise just can't stop thinking about each other. Louise ends up beginning an affair with David, while simultaneously befriending his needy wife Adele. Adele and David's relationship is idyllic only on the surface. What Behind Her Eyes truly delights in, when not making its characters make the worst possible decision. Everyone is good in it – Brown as the hapless protagonist, Bateman as the frankly terrible husband and equally bad therapist; and Hewson as the enigmatic, bored housewife. Whether or not the twists pay off depends on the viewer's love of truly out-of-left-field plot reveals, and their love for elements that bend towards the supernatural.
