Netflix is one of the top streaming services for a reason. What attracts so many millions of users around the world is the freedom to choose content — Netflix's library may not be endless, but there is never a shortage of viewing options.
In particular, the platform actively offers all kinds of movies and series in the thriller genre, as users enjoy following nail-biting events full of thrills and suspense while waiting for mind-blowing revelations. Some of the most popular projects are the live-action adaptations of thriller king Harlan Coben, including the release earlier this year of Fool Me Once, starring Michelle Keegan and Richard Armitage.
But as the number of thrillers on Netflix has grown over the past few years, it's become increasingly difficult to find a series that doesn't follow typical tropes and clichés and offers something truly original.

Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes’ ending left many viewers stunned, reflecting the concerns of TV executives when Sarah Pinborough availed her 2017 thriller novel of the same title for a screenplay adaptation. The English writer told The Washington Post that the executives wanted to stray from the book for a happier ending. Pinborough wouldn’t let that happen, so she sold the rights to Left Bank Pictures, a British production company committed to a faithful adaptation. Although the series lightened some of the book’s dark edges, it retained the unsettling end of the novel, delivering an uncanny, mind-bending twist that denied viewers...

If you haven't already watched Behind Her Eyes, Netflix's adaptation of Sarah Pinborough's 2018 novel, then I recommend you turn back now, because I'm about to spoil the hell out of the big "twist" at the end of the series. If there's one compliment we could give the show, it's that it's a faithful remake of the book, aside from some minute details that don't alter the story too much. The show keeps the book's most vital plot points, which unfortunately includes the story's twisted finale. It's an ending that manages to turn the entire story on its head and does justice for none of the characters - especially not the woman at the center of it all.
To be fair, the series hints at the big twist throughout each episode. Louise (played by Simona Brown), a single mother looking to mingle, bumps into the handsome David (Tom Bateman...

Photo: 'Behind Her Eyes'/Netflix Netflix seems to have found their new go-to formula; limited series based on best-selling books. Some of these have been better than others, from the stellar ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ and ‘The Mess You Leave Behind’ to the less impressive ‘Firefly Lane’. The streaming giant’s latest endeavor into this formula is the psychological thriller ‘Behind Her Eyes’, based on the novel by Sarah Pinborough. This six-episode series follows a single mother, Louise (Simona Brown) as she balances entering an affair with her boss David (Tom Bateman) and striking up a close friendship with his wife Adele (Eve Hewson). However, not all is as it appears, and Louise finds herself pulled into a tangled mystery that is darker than she ever could have imagined. The premise is solid, if not the most original, but the series as a whole misses the mark so widely you wonder...

Marianne (played by The Last Kingdom’s Eva Birthistle) is narrating a flashback to the events that forced Adele and David (Eve Hewson and Tom Bateman) to leave Brighton and relocate to Islington. The owner of a café close to David’s psychiatry practise, Marianne had platonically befriended David and, recognising his sadness, encouraged him to make a change and leave his wife.
Unbeknownst to David or Marianne, Adele was spying on their conversations using her power of astral projection. Obsessed with keeping David in the marriage, Adele intimidated Marianne, threatening her to stay away.

Based on the bestselling eponymous 2017 novel by Sarah Pinborough, Netflix's new psychological thriller miniseries Behind Her Eyes employs various means and more than one genre to deliver that insanely unexpected twist ending. The series follows closely in the book's footsteps, garnering similarly divisive reactions from its viewers. While the first three-quarters of the show build to a promising suspense-reveal climax, the last quarter morphs into an unforeseen supernatural direction altogether. Nonetheless, there are some subtle clues to the fantastical elements planted throughout the series, one of which appears in the form of a pigeon.
When Does the Pigeon Appear?
Following Louise's first real sexual encounter with David, she's saddled with remorse and comes into the office early the next morning to help ease the tension with David. That's when we first witness a pigeon in a beat too long cut in the open area of their office.

Some TV adaptations are so far removed from their written inspiration that it's hard for readers to identify any similar plot lines - this is not the case of Behind Her Eyes. Save for one majorly ill-conceived change, the suspenseful miniseries is perhaps one of the most faithful adaptations Netflix has made as of late. Sarah Pinborough's 2018 novel takes readers inside a complex love triangle between a married couple and a woman who finds herself drawn to each partner in different ways. Netflix's version tells the story of Louise (Simona Brown), Adele (Eve Hewson), and David (Tom Bateman) in a similar fashion to the book, but with slight tweaks - here are the major differences.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched (or at least plan to watch) all six episodes of “Behind Her Eyes,” now streaming on Netflix.

In fact, the ending of the Sarah Pinborough novel that the Netflix series is based on was originally marketed to readers with ominous subway ads warning people “Don’T Trust This Book” and the performatively astonished hashtag, “#WTFThatEnding.” Short of Googling it, though, I could never have guessed just how ridiculous That Ending was until I got to see it with my own two bewildered eyes.

In fact, the ending of the Sarah Pinborough novel that the Netflix series is based on was originally marketed to readers with ominous subway ads warning people “Don’T Trust This Book” and the performatively astonished hashtag, “#WTFThatEnding.” Short of Googling it, though, I could never have guessed just how ridiculous That Ending was until I got to see it with my own two bewildered eyes.

Warning: contains major plot spoilers for the Behind Her Eyes finale
When a novel is marketed with the hashtag: #WTFthatending, you know it’s going to pull a big move. Sarah Pinborough’s 2017 thriller Behind Her Eyes pulls a move so big that Keyser Söze himself would salute the audacity. Not only does the novel swap genres halfway through, shifting from psychological thriller to supernatural fantasy, it swaps lead characters. Literally.
Steve Lightfoot and Angela Lamanna’s six-part Netflix adaptation follows suit, with a final episode that prompts viewers to revisit everything we’ve seen until that point. What first appeared to be the slippery story of a woman gradually uncovering the secrets of a brittle marriage, ends up as a twisty tale of paranormal identity theft.
Before the finale lands on a definitive and unexpected answer to the question of whether Adele or David is this story’s villain...

Netflix psychological thriller Behind Her Eyes, adapted from Sarah Pinborough’s hit novel of the same name, sets its cast an unenviably tough task (and not just because almost everyone’s having to do a regional accent). Through subtleties and shifts in their performances, Eve Hewson, Tom Bateman, Simona Brown and Robert Aramayo need to keep the audience invested while keeping us guessing. What is it we’re watching? Is this six-part series the tale of Adele and David’s brittle marriage and the secrets that bind them? Or the story of single-mother Louise (Simona Brown) getting in over her head with this glamorous new couple? Could it be something else entirely?
While you’re asking yourself those questions, you’ll likely be asking another: where have I seen that guy before? While we can’t help with the former and stay spoiler-free, we can answer that one…

Behind Her Eyes, a bestselling thriller written by Sarah Pinborough, was marketed with its own hashtag, #WTFThatEnding, that can be interpreted two ways: as a lure convincing potential readers that they’ll be delighted by an unexpected conclusion, or as a warning that they’ll want to hurl the book across the room upon finishing. I have not read Pinborough’s novel, and only learned of the hashtag after watching all six episodes of the new Netflix limited series version of Behind Her Eyes. And I’m sorry to report...

Exclusive: The Crown producer Left Bank is swapping the royal family for the world of hedge funds and artificial intelligence with its latest project – an adaptation of Robert Harris’ The Fear Index.
Deadline understands that the project is being lined up for British pay-broadcaster Sky and discussions are underway with the Comcast-backed company with a view to turning the book into a four-part drama.
Sony-owned Left Bank is the latest producer to give The Fear Index a crack; nine years ago Fox 2000 and Chernin Entertainment teamed on a deal for the film rights to the book, which was first published in 2011, with Paul Greengrass attached to direct.
The book, which was published by Penguin Random House, is set on May 6 2010, the date of the British general election and the 36-minute flash crash, the trillion-dollar stock market crash. Set in the office of Hoffmann Investment Technologies, a fictional hedge fund in Geneva,...

Exclusive: The Crown season three scooped up a record haul of Golden Globes nominations earlier this week, and now the Netflix juggernaut and shows like White Lines have helped boost producer Left Bank Pictures’ earnings to an unparalleled high.
According to earnings filed at Britain’s Companies House, Left Bank’s television arm posted revenue of £108M ($142M) in the 12 months to the end of March 2019, which was up 93% on the £55.8M recorded in 2018.
It is the first time Left Bank’s revenue has tipped over the nine-figure mark and is comfortably the Sony Pictures Television-owned company’s best year of income. The closest was in 2017, when it generated £78.6M in revenue.
On the back of record revenue, Left Bank’s pre-tax profit hit £13.7M, a 1,247% increase on 2018’s profit of £1M before taxation. On this measure, the company did not beat its 2017 performance, when its pre-tax profit stood at £16.4M.

The Ya novel adaptation train has lost some steam in the last year. The Hunger Games series, the most prominent of these offerings, limped off the field in November, without appointing a successor. And we know it’s not the Divergent series, because Shailene Woodley and her co-stars were recently relegated to the small screen for the final installment in the franchise. But maybe it’s just the post-apocalyptic world stuff that audiences have grown weary of—at least, that’s what Netflix is banking on with its own foray into the Ya adaptation arena.
Variety reports that the streaming service has secured the movie rights for Sarah Pinborough’s 13 Minutes, a Ya crime novel about a teenage girl—wait, wait, hear Netflix out—who has to solve her own attempted murder. In the book, Natasha is the former leader of the Barbies, but she nearly loses her life ...

Sarah Pinborough’s chilling book, 13 Minutes, will soon be rising from the dead on Netflix.
I was dead for 13 minutes.

13 Minutes proves that popularity can be fatal. After the drowned corpse (or what looks like a corpse) of high school 'it' girl Natasha is found by an unsuspecting dog walker, she returns to consciousness to find out that she almost perished in a freezing river for 13 minutes.

Introducing Den Of Eek! Urban Legends, our brand new charity ebook...
Around this time last year, 14 brilliant writers from across print and screen came together for one special night in London. It was for our second Den Of Eek! charity horror stories night. Each of them came up with a brand new horror short story - based around an urban legend theme - and delivered it live to the sold out crowd. Money was raised for our Geeks Vs Cancer appeal, and a good night was had by all. A few nightmares, too.
Now, we're put together those stories in one very special ebook, which is on sale now for a modest sum. All profits from the sale of this book will go to cancer charities, and we don't think you'll be shortchanged when you read it.
Here is the link to it at Amazon, where you can buy it for Kindle devices.

Money was raised for our Geeks Vs Cancer appeal, and a good night was had by all. A few nightmares, too.
Now, we're put together those stories in one very special ebook, which is on sale now for a modest sum. All profits from the sale of this book will go to cancer charities, and we don't think you'll be shortchanged when you read it.
Here is the link to it at Amazon, where you can buy it for Kindle devices.

George Orwell's novel is being re-tooled as a heartstring-plucker. Don't despair – share your dystopian visions of how bad it will be
The literary world is agog, reeling, aghast, at the news that Kristen Stewart is going to star in a romantic remake of 1984. You read that right. Romantic. Remake. 1984.
I've had to check to make sure it isn't 1 April. It isn't. This is happening, people. "Equals is an adaptation of the 1956 film 1984, which itself was based on George Orwell's classic novel about rebellion in a futuristic society," runs the story. Stewart told the AP that the remake is "a love story of epic, epic, epic proportion", where "things go wrong because you can't deny the humanity in everyone". "It's the most devastating story," she said. "I'm terrified of it. Though it's a movie with a really basic concept, it's overtly ambitious."
Indeed.
Anyway, the news has sent literary types into a flat spin.

I detailed the story behind the publication of the Mister October tribute anthologies in my review of Volume I last week; go here to read the long version. The short version is that respected/revered horror author Rick Hautala passed away unexpectedly earlier this year, and his friend and fellow writer Christopher Golden worked fast to assemble this anthology that would stand as a tribute to Hautala and as a means of providing some much-needed financial assistance to the Hautala family. Volume I was packed to the rafters with top-shelf genre talent, but the response to Golden's call for submissions was so strong that he was able to build a second, equally stacked volume to accompany it. Volume II boasts names like Clive Barker, Jack Ketchum, Brian Keene, John Skipp, Sarah Pinborough, Peter Straub and Tim Lebbon, as well as work by Hautala's wife, Holly Newstein, Golden, and Rick Hautala himself.

A collection of original fiction based on our spooky storytelling event is now available for your Kindle
A few months ago, we gathered some of our favourite writers together in a dark basement to tell spooky stories. The event, called Den of Eek!, was a great success: we sold out the entire venue, made loads of money for charity, and had fun at the same time.
Why are we telling you this now? It’s not just to taunt you if you couldn’t make it. It’s because now we’re publishing an ebook of all the stories read that night. It features twelve short stories by twelve brilliant people – here’s the rundown:
"Grindr" by Clayton Littlewood (author of Dirty White Boy and Goodbye to Soho)
