Netflix series 'so addictive' fans binge watch in one night
Others comment on the mind bending ending 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."

Netflix drops 'thrilling' true-story police drama perfect for Narcos fans
A new 12-part series has been released on Netflix and has been gaining a lot of attention from fans who are describing the show as "thrilling" and "so good" Narcos enthusiasts are being encouraged to check out a gripping new police drama rooted in real events, which has just landed on Netflix. Viewers have already taken to social media in droves to heap praise on the 12-episode series, which draws inspiration from real-life incidents and chronicles a police unit pursuing American criminals south of the border. The show in question is The Gringo Hunters, and it tracks a secretive Mexican special forces squad who pursue American fugitives along the US-Mexico border. Yet their mission takes a deeply personal turn when a colleague is killed, forcing them to track down the murderer. The official description reveals how "as they try to stay under the radar to seek justice, they're forced to contend with corruption from inside their ranks". The programme boasts Narcos: Mexico veterans Mayra Hermosillo and José María Yazpik as Gloria Carbajal and Joaquin Meyer-Rodríguez respectively. A third Narcos: Mexico alumnus joins the cast, with Manuel Masalva taking on the character of Beto. Audiences might also spot Yellowstone spin-off 1923 actor Sebastian Roché, who once more portrays a man of the cloth - this time as Father Elliot Murphy. The programme takes its cue from the International Liaison Unit of the Baja California State Police, headquartered in Tijuana. This specialist team focuses on hunting down American fugitives who flee across the Mexican border hoping to dodge the US justice system. Fans have already devoured all 12 instalments and have flocked to social media platforms to voice their opinions. A user on X, previously known as Twitter, raved: "The Gringo Hunter has a thrilling story with plenty of action and a great cast. Highly recommended! 9/10".
