(Massive spoilers for Behind Her Eyes, including the ending, will be found below.)

Netflix made last weekend a big one for “complicated” lady characters with the return of deranged Rosamund Pike in I Care A Lot (a dark comedy that mostly hit the mark) and various characters in the Behind Her Eyes (a limited series that aimed to be genre-bending but feels like genre-trolling). The former story remained grounded in reality because, seriously, I really do not want Rosamund Pike to approach me in several decades and declare that she’s my legal guardian. We also saw a surprise ending where Rosamund’s character got exactly what she deserved (although being business partners with gangster Peter Dinklage can’t be all bad). Whereas the latter story seemed initially thrilling, but oh boy, the finale was not good. What started like a cautionary tale with delightful trashiness turned into something else, and it wasn’t a fun roller-coaster of twists that served a purpose. Instead, the finale drove like a semi-truck that veered off a highway, screeched down a cliff, and skidded into the ocean.
