Netflix series 'so addictive' fans binge watch in one night
A Netflix series dubbed 'so addictive' by fans they tell other viewers that they can easily binge watch it all in just one night.
Behind Her Eyes was originally released on the streaming platform back in 2021. It is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Sarah Pinborough. Steve Lightfoot, the writer and showrunner behind such hits as The Punisher, Narcos and Hannibal, adapted it for the screen.
The story follows a single mother who enters a world of twisted mind games when she begins an affair with her psychiatrist boss while secretly befriending his mysterious wife. Its cast includes British actor Tom Bateman, along with Eve Hewson, who is the daughter of Bono and went on to star in Netflix's Perfect Couples.
One Netflix user on Reddit posted asking for recommendations on a perhaps lesser known title on the platform that they could binge. They said: "Ideally seeking one of those shows where it would take a physical intervention to stop you watching the next episode. Like Severance, or early Lost, or similar. Just something compelling and bingeable that I haven't seen!"
An early and popular response was the suggestion for Behind Her Eyes with many claiming it can be binged in just a day. A review of the six-part series claimed: "A masterclass in suspense and mystery: Behind Her Eyes is a thrilling journey that grips you from the first frame to the last.
"This Netflix series, adapted from Sarah Pinborough's novel, delivers a narrative that is both seductive and unsettling, proving to be a masterclass in psychological suspense."
One fan, sharing their thoughts online said: "I pretty much binge watched most of it in one day. I never really got bored. Each episode was amazing. If you're after a good thriller, this is a must watch."
Another agreed: "This show is worth every second. The ending had me gasping, very unpredictable and extraordinary plot, definitely a psychological thriller! I binged watched it all in one day and it's the best-limited series I've seen in a while.
"All the characters are just amazing and the plot is unlike anything any of us have ever seen before. This is definitely worth your time, if you're contemplating whether to watch or not, trust me the ending will be worth it!"
Many people who have already watched it comment on the show's twist ending. A viewer posting on social media said it left them "messed up for days.'
Someone else commented: "Absolutely loved this series! Excellent acting all round, Eve Hewson can do no wrong. I was hooked throughout and the ending was so unexpected, and just perfect." While someone else replied: "A true masterpiece with an ending that defies expectations."

More woke madness as classic 1980s sitcom is whacked with trigger warning by ITV over ‘offensive language'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLASSIC Ronnie Barker sitcom Open All Hours has been hit with a woke trigger warning — over lusty references to Nurse Gladys. The 1970s and 80s hit was deemed too naughty for modern audiences. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Sitcom Open All Hours has been hit with a woke trigger warning - pictured Ronnie Barker, Lynda Baron and David Jason Credit: UK TV 2 The sitcom followed the fortunes of stammering shopkeeper Albert Arkwright, played by Barker Credit: Scope Features It followed the fortunes of stammering shopkeeper Albert Arkwright, played by Barker, and ran for four seasons on BBC1, with more than 15 million viewers at its peak. But catch-up service ITVX, which owns the rights, warns it 'contains language and sex references which may offend some viewers'. In an episode in season one, randy Arkwright fakes an illness to attract the attention of Lynda Baron's Nurse Gladys, who is said to have a 'tightly packed blouse'. Another in series four sees Albert's nephew and assistant Granville (Sir David Jason) place an innuendo-filled advert in the dating section of a local newspaper. Other episodes warn of 'language of the time that may offend'. Senior Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke blasted: 'There are things in these shows that society has moved on from, such as racist language. 'But innuendo was and is the backbone and hallmark of some of the best British comedy for generations. This type of warning represents everything that has gone wrong in our country.' We previously reported how shows including Father Ted and The Royle Family had been hit with warnings. ITVX was asked to comment.

Inside Outlander star Lauren Lyle's life before Karen Pirie role
Lauren Lyle is returning to screens as Karen Pirie for a second season of the ITV detective series - here's everything you need to know about the actress away from the cameras Lauren Lyle is set to reprise her role as Karen Pirie in the second series of the ITV detective drama. The 32-year-old actress is perhaps most recognised for her portrayal of Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in Outlander, where she stars alongside Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan. Her acting credits also include playing Jade Antoniak in the BBC's Vigil, as well as roles in Netflix's Toxic Town and The Bombing on Pan Am 103. On the theatrical front, Lauren has graced the stage in productions such as The Crucible, Wuthering Heights, Consensual and Merchant of Venice. She first made a name for herself in the West End after relocating to London at 19, which was followed by her television debut on BBC Three's BBC Comedy Feeds, in an episode titled Radges, reports the Express. Subsequently, she appeared in Holby City and starred opposite Sean Bean in the BBC drama Broken. Her breakthrough role came in 2017 with Outlander, and the following year saw Lauren feature in the film adaptation of Fiona Shaw's novel Tell It to the Bees, sharing screen time with Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger. In addition to her acting career, Lauren hosts a podcast called She's A Rec, where she engages guests in discussions about their top picks for albums, films, books and influential female figures. Her portrayal of the intrepid young Scottish detective Karen Pirie earned her the accolades of Best Actress - Television and Favourite Scot on Screen at the 2023 Bafta Awards Scotland. Lauren previously spoke to The Sunday Post about her journey to fame, recalling how she moved to London and shared a house with four strangers while working multiple part-time jobs in an attempt to secure her big break. During the interview, she revealed: "I came to London to audition for drama schools and came close but didn't get in. I think I'd only been to London once before as a kid but didn't remember it. "I was so hungry for it, and being around other actors in this world was so thrilling and I knew this was what I wanted to do and the place to do it." Lauren, who confessed to having always had a "deluded confidence" and a fiercely competitive nature, had held various positions - ranging from dog walker and flyering, to working as a receptionist, and even stocktaking at Zara - for several months. This was all before her life changed when she landed the two significant roles in Outlander and Broken within mere weeks of each other. Lauren candidly described the journey as a struggle, saying: "It was bleak at times but I loved going to the theatre and seeing this life dangled in front of me. It was quite inspiring," but expressed that going to the theatre served as an inspiration for her. When not on-screen, Lauren has largely maintained a low-profile, except when giving glimpses into her professional life and travels on social media. However, she did use the opportunity during the 2023 interview with The Sunday Post to acknowledge her romantic relationship, confirming that her boyfriend would be joining her at the Baftas. Lauren shared: "My parents are coming - my dad has a new velvet jacket to go with his tartan troos - as is my boyfriend, who is South-African-Australian, but we've recently discovered he has lots of Scottish heritage, so he might wear a kilt."
