Critics' reviews

"A well-crafted, completely bonkers thriller (...) You might love the exceptionally audacious ending or you might hate it, but you’ll certainly talk about it either way."

Roxana Hadadi: rogerebert.com
"First generic, then intriguing, then ridiculous (...) There definitely isn't enough meat on these bones for six hours and that means that the first two hours are frustratingly flat, almost to the point of genre parody"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"There’s no such thing as coincidence, people say, but those people have not seen 'Behind Her Eyes' (...) [It] does what it does very well"

John Anderson: The Wall Street Journal
"After an engaging start, Netflix’s new erotic thriller self-destructs with a series of needlessly crazy twists (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Alan Sepinwall: Rolling Stone
"Many mystery thrillers start out pretty bleak, showing us how psychologically damaged its characters are from the first minute. So we appreciate shows that show their protagonists as normal people"

Joel Keller: Decider
"Behind Her Eyes surges inexorably toward its big thriller ending, which is so twisty and strange that it obliterates any other impression Behind Her Eyes might’ve left."

Kathryn VanArendonk: Vulture
"Here’s the thing about the ending of 'Behind Her Eyes': it’s surprising, but even more than that, it’s stupid (...) 'Behind Her Eyes' is just too ridiculous to take even half as seriously as the show takes itself."
