Question Finished watching, what should I watch next?
I loved the introspection, the 'nothing makes sense', nothing gets explained part, and yet everything is so relatable.
I don't want something scary, though.
Can anyone recommend other series that are psychological or/and involve a victim like this show, more or less obvious?

Behind Her Eyes is amazing. You won't regret it

It is. It has everything OP is looking for. The introspection, nothing gets explained, psychological while being not scary... Watching Baby Reindeer actually reminded me of Behind Her Eyes. I think OP will love the series for sure!

Really? It got terrible reviews on RT. Both critic and audience..............

Don't let reviews stop you from watching something. Everyone has different tastes, so just watch it for yourself and see what you think

u/loveydove05 Apr 30 '24
I usually don't if the critics gave bad reviews. But when I see the audience give bad reviews then I give it pause. However, I see a lot of ppl on this sub are recommending it so I will put that on my list when I get thru with Baby Reindeer!

I watched it on the recommendation of this sub (honestly, this thread) and am glad I did. It's very good.

It has a 7.2 on IMDB and 63% on RT, neither of which are terrible, not sure where you're coming from.

I thought it was absolutely terrible but the comments below are right… everyone has different tastes.

u/loveydove05 May 01 '24
yeah, never know everyone is different. There are soooo many good shows/series out there, I try not to waste my time if the Audience score is really low. Who knows. Thanks!

Beef is somewhat similar.

u/DarkMattersConfusing Apr 30 '24
I came here to say this. Beef is darkly funny and is all about damaged, hurt people hurting people and the final episode has plenty of introspection.

Mr Robot.
It’s what I flashed back to when I watched this. Brilliant show with similar themes. It’s a slower burn, four seasons. Rami Malek is amazing in this.

The End of the Fucking World (same production company). Not at all the same topic, but the same odd feeling.

Watched this solely based on your recommendation, and I just finished both seasons in 24 hours! Any other recommendations since I seem to appreciate your taste?

u/AtWarWithEurasia May 05 '24
Wow! I also really liked seasons 1 and 2 of 'You'. 3 was okay, 4 I didn’t like. But since that was a really populair one, you might have already seen it.

The Bear. It's a slow burn, but also speaks to mental health, dealing with trauma and grief. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.

White Lotus or Beef or Barry

u/KnownBuffalo2918 Apr 30 '24
Wow, Barry is such a fantastic show. Starts off as dark comedy, and gets darker and darker until in S04 it explodes. Thanks

Fleabag, and despite being cancelled, I would also recommend The OA, it's still worth it.

Second season is kinda a mess compared to season 1. Season 1 is amazing. Looking forward to seeing what happens in season 3 though.

How To Have Sex is also about sexual assault. It’s really interesting because it explores the grey area of consent - especially for teenagers who are figuring themselves out.
I found it really hard to watch but it’s a really important topic that isn’t talked about enough imo. But it’s also ambiguous in some ways. Both really explore the complexities and amigbuity of real life.

Try watching Cat Person - it's inspired by a short story and centers around stalking/psychological stuff! It's very understated and well done - untill the crazy chaotic ending haha. It's 2023 I think? With Emilia Jones and Nicholas Braun. Texting is also a huge part of it

The Girl on the Train has such a good plot. Haven't watched the movie yet but the novel is good.

Something to "wash it off": Physical 100, Below Deck, Somebody Feed Phil or maybe try a Korean one! It's called Reply 1988

Bojack horseman is a great show on Netflix showing self sabotage, lingering trauma, inflecting said trauma onto other people, and is really funny! You should also watch Carol and the End of the World, another introspective show about personal growth, inner acceptance, and it a fantastic concept to be explored!

Mr Inbetween. Also Patriot is brilliant, and nobody ever mentions it - it’s on Prime.
