There is enough in the first episode of Behind her Eyes to make you think something else is going on. That somewhere along the line the rug will be pulled.
Based on Sarah Pinborough's novel. Louise Barnsley (Simona Brown) is a single mom with her young son Adam. She works part time at a psychiatrist's office.
One evening she bumps into Dr David Ferguson (Tom Bateman) in a pub, where they talk and he kisses her. It is only the next day she finds out that he is the new psychiatrist working in the office.
Later she bumps into his wife Adele (Eve Hewson.)
That all sounds rather bland like a romantic thriller. There are hints of it all being a little off kilter and darker.
Louise has night terrors where she runs down corridors and finds her son in danger.
The Ferguson marriage looks loveless and unreal. Adele is on prescription medication and there are flashbacks of Adele meeting another man.
The first episode was scene setting. There is just a danger that like many Netflix shows, pacing is sacrificed for a longer episode count.
