I was so into the concept I started doing my own research on the themes and Sarah did as well prior to writing the book. Later Rob uses that skill against her and swaps bodies with Adele for good. The Adele character can astral project into other beings and does so with her friend Rob. Outside of an affair, secrets, and betrayal, a big theme the series covers is lucid dreaming and astral projection. So, I was jotting things down and the ending suddenly came and I was like, what if he isn’t dead? When I sent in the pitch, they were all like, okay, yeah, we’re going to make this a big book, so I was quite happy.” So I went to a bar, I got a glass of wine, and I sat down and I was like, ah, I’ve ruined it.
I thought, well maybe I’ll sort of feed in some stuff about lucid dreaming and give it a bit of a dreamlike quality. My writing background prior to this book was mainly Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror. “I thought, how can I do this a bit different? And I dream a lot. And I remember thinking there’ll be a murder and we won’t know who to trust,” Sarah said about coming up with the concept of ‘Behind Her Eyes.’ Since “Gone Girl” had been out at that point Sarah didn’t want her work to be too similar to that concept so she added a special element. “I decided I wanted to write about an affair because that’s just full of secrets and lies anyway. I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Sarah Pinborough, the book author the series is based on, about the inception of the book, partnering with Netflix, the possibility of a sequel to Behind Her Eyes and more. A single mom named Louise (Simona Brown) begins an affair with her psychiatrist boss David (Tom Bateman) and stumbles into a friendship with his wife Adele (Eve Hewson), but the story goes left in a way I didn’t see coming combining mystery, suspense, and a supernatural element that will keep you hooked until the very end. The premise of the series was simple enough. Back when the book was released, buzz surrounded the work of fiction but it wasn’t until the book was turned into a Netflix show and dropped late February that it became a true social media phenomenon.
WHAT A TWIST it was!īehind Her Eyes is based on the 2017 novel by New York Times bestselling author Sarah Pinborough. What I didn’t expect was how glued I would be by the end of episode one and how ferociously I would watch the series anxious to get to the end and find out the big twist. Behind Her Eyeshad been on my Netflix watch list and I figured now was the time to get into it.Ī quick binge with six episodes under an hour I could knock that out easy. One evening when I was in the midst of redoing my braids I decided to watch something new instead of my same ole ‘put me in a good mood’ shows. I watch a lot of television shows and films, but there are only a handful of the things that I consume that stick with me long after viewing them.
