ON DEMAND CHOICE: Behind Her Eyes

Netflix’s new, six-part psychological thriller is based on the book by Sarah Pinborough, and arrives on the on demand service today. Here’s our guide to what it’s all about…

What’s it about? Louise (Simona Brown)

is a divorced, down-to-earth mother-of-one who lives in a London flat with a lovely balcony, is prone to sleepwalking, and works in a psychiatrist’s office. David (Tom Bateman) is the tense and

occasionally charming Scotsman with whom she embarks on an affair, before learning that he is not only her new boss, but he is

also married – to the mysterious, medicated and doll-like Adele

(Eve Hewson, centre), whom Louise accidentally befriends.

And so, with that dangerous love triangle in place, this twisting tale really begins… What else has Sarah Pinborough written? Pinborough has had more than 20 novels published, including assorted thrillers and fantasies, Torchwood spin-offs, a dystopian UK trilogy and modern takes on fairytales. Behind Her Eyes came out in 2017, and has been adapted by Steve Lightfoot, who wrote for the stylishly gruesome US thriller Hannibal.
