Forget ‘You,’ Netflix’s Twisted Psychological Thriller With Only 6 Episodes Is Even Better

Netflix’s six-episode British thriller *Behind Her Eyes* begins as a story of an affair and a troubled marriage, then takes an unexpected turn into more fantastical territory. Its shifting loyalties and bold finale make it a compact, memorable watch, though the surprises may divide viewers.

Louise, a divorced single mother, becomes involved with her married boss David while befriending his wife, Adele. Clues about the couple’s past, including Adele’s time in a psychiatric facility and her friendship with Rob, deepen the mystery. Simona Brown, Tom Bateman, Eve Hewson and Robert Aramayo lead the cast; the story’s final shift is presented as its biggest gamble.
