    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.

    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.

    “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.

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

    Audiences who think they’ve figured out “Behind Her Eyes” by episode 1 or 2 will have a rude awakening of their own.

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… Full Review »
