Hull-born actor Robert Aramayo recently won the best actor award at the BAFTA Awards, beating Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio. He earned the accolade for his role in I Swear, where he portrays real-life Tourette's campaigner John Davidson.
Years before his BAFTA win, Aramayo starred in a hidden gem Netflix series called Behind Her Eyes. The six-part thriller, released in 2021, follows single mum Louise (Simona Brown) who has an affair with her boss David (Tom Bateman). After meeting David's wife Adele (Eve Hewson), Louise discovers their relationship is not what it seems.
Aramayo plays the mysterious Rob Hoyle, an old friend of Adele's. The true nature of their relationship unfolds as the series progresses. The show is based on the 2017 novel by Sarah Pinborough and holds a 60% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics scoring it 63%.
Fans have praised the series for its shocking twist ending. One viewer described it as 'very gripping with an excellent twist', while another called it 'a great mind-bending show'. A third fan said: 'The ending is so amazing that I still wake up traumatised all these years later.'
Another commented: 'An epic plot twist. A very interesting series that I really enjoyed every episode.' A further Netflix fan said the show still 'haunts' them, explaining: 'It has a fabulous plot twist at the end, which made me do an immediate rewatch.'
Behind Her Eyes is now streaming on Netflix.
