'Gripping' Netflix series keeps viewers glued to screen for 5 hours straight
Secrets, lies and a startling final twist have viewers hooked on this six-part Netflix thriller, which one television critic says deserves far more attention.
Think you've worked out who to trust? This six-part Netflix thriller is full of characters hiding something – and its final twist gives viewers plenty to talk about. Fans have been racing through the series in one sitting, which takes around five hours.
A television critic recommends giving it a go, calling it a "must-watch" that "not enough people have seen". The show is Behind Her Eyes, a limited series that television critic Craig recommended to his 46,000 TikTok followers in a recent clip.
Adapted from Sarah Pinborough's 2017 novel of the same title, it stars Simona Brown, Tom Bateman, Eve Hewson and Aaron Anthony. Expect cliffhangers, unreliable characters and a startling conclusion.
Craig said: "It's one of the best TV shows that's not talked about enough. What makes this show so addictive is you're constantly trying to figure out what is going on. You've got secrets, lies, manipulation and characters that all seem to be hiding something."
Craig was captivated by the "atmosphere" created by the series, which keeps viewers on tenterhooks and desperate to uncover what has happened.
Responding to the TV critic's video, one viewer wrote: "I loved it." Another commented: "Seen it. Brilliant twist too."
A third added: "I read the book a few years ago! The series is very close, and really, really good!"
The six-part drama holds a rating of 7.2 out of 10 on IMDb, although some critics have marked it down for a storyline they feel is too far-fetched.
For those wishing to experience the finale for themselves, all six episodes of the limited series are currently available to stream exclusively on Netflix.
