The current hot topic of conversation on social media is psychological thriller mini-series Behind Her Eyes, with fans raving about it online.
The series is based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Sarah Pinborough, but its TV adaptation has certainly taken it to new heights.
Behind Her Eyes follows single mum Louis, who works in a psychiatrist's office.
This is far from any other work environment though, as she embarks on an affair with her boss, who is married.
Things take an even wilder twist as Louise forms an unlikely friendship with his wife.
Their lives ultimately end up becoming tangled and overlap, making for a pretty messy situation.
In particular, it's the ending of Behind Her Eyes that has got many people taking on social media.
"What's everyone's thoughts on Behind Her Eyes on Netflix? That ending was quite something. Anyone else watched it?" One Reddit user asked.
"I still have no words. Like I don’t think anyone saw it coming," a fellow Redditor commented.
"I loved it! I had so many misconceptions throughout. I can’t wait for more!" a second added.
"Absolutely loved it!!! Took a turn I was not expecting, gave me big Skelton Key vibes which is one of my faves as well. I really hope they make another season," a third remarked.
Meanwhile, other Reddit users said they had 'binged watched' the whole thing as they were left 'completely glued' to the screen.
Behind Her Eyes released in 2021 on Netflix, and currently sits at a 63 percent score Rotten Tomatoes.
Joyce Slaton, from Common Sense Media, wrote: "Seductive and compelling, this mystery series boasts interesting characters, expertly doled out twists, and lots of intrigue."
While ArtsATL's Steve Murray said: "I admire, for its sheer, nasty audacity, the double twist that ends the story. To achieve its impact, though, the limited series requires you not merely to suspend your disbelief, but strap it to a rocket and send it to the Milky Way."
