Viewers urged to watch thriller with ‘wild’ plot twist from the same writer of ‘scary’ new mini-series

Fans are claiming that a Netflix show has one of the 'maddest' plot twists they've ever seen.

The thriller series, starring Eve Hewson and Tom Bateman debuted on Netflix in 2021 and has formed somewhat of a cult following.

The supernatural programme, based on Sarah Pinborough’s 2017 novel of the same name, was created by Steve Lightfoot and features a 'wild' plot twist ending.

Speaking about its bizarre conclusion in an X thread about the 'biggest plot twist ever', one fan of the show wrote: “Not a movie but ‘Behind Her Eyes’ on Netflix had a wild a** plot twist.”

A second said: “Just finished watching Behind Her Eyes on Netflix & the plot twist ending f****ng GOT ME.”

While a third said: "I just binged watched Behind Her Eyes on Netflix & that plot twist was CRAZYYYY"

And a fourth called it the 'maddest thing I’ve ever seen in TV'.

If you’re someone who got sucked into the world of Behind Her Eyes will be buzzing to know that another of Sarah’s bestselling novels has been optioned for TV.

Paramount+ is currently airing this six-episode British thriller series, starring Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure as Emma.
