	Author	Review
United States	Roxana Hadadi rogerebert.com	"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."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"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"	NEU
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"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"	POS
United Kingdom	Ellen E. Jones The Guardian	"It’s hard to believe there’s much of anything going on behind her eyes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"After an engaging start, Netflix’s new erotic thriller self-destructs with a series of needlessly crazy twists (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It will force you to take a step back and try to understand the how and why of it all (...) If you half-watch this, you will miss out on way too much (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Annabel Nugent The Independent	"If the series is a puzzle, its ending is a piece from a different jigsaw altogether (...) Behind Her Eyes adheres to the classic Netflix brief: they don’t have to like it, they just have to watch it (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"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"	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"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."	NEU
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"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."	NEG
