The pair got married, and so the cycle was to start all over again.īehind Her Eyes is trash TV at its worst, so it's hard to hold it to too high of a standard.

The closing moments of the six-part series saw Rob/Louise and David reuniting, after 'Adele's' death, with Rob going in for a kiss. David was unaware of Adele's astral projection abilities, and had no idea that he was actually going to bed with Rob each night – holding up a disturbing new lens to their sex scene. British drama Misfitsintroduced its second gay character in probation worker Greg, but from the off he was depicted as creepy, having anger issues and would come onto the members of the gang.īehind Her Eyes also raises some icky (at best) consent issues. One episode, called 'The Tightening', mirrored and flipped a lot of horror film tropes, and yet it still placed Piscatella as the predator that stalked and terrorised his victims. In Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, gay prison officer Desmond 'Desi' Piscatella was particularly sadistic towards the inmates. Everything that we saw her do, every measure she took to keep her husband around, was actually Rob trying to realise his desire to live out a fairytale with David. It was immediately following this conversation that he tricked Adele to her death, and took that place by David's side.Īll of this plays into homophobic rhetoric that gay men are somehow predatory an offensive idea that is further encouraged when you look back over the show and realise that Adele has actually been Rob the whole time. Speaking to Adele about her 'fairytale' life, Rob told her: 'I can see why you love him, by the way. Rob admitted to being jealous of the relationship David had with Adele, and then that night left his body to spy on David and Adele having sex. Although it is worth noting that he didn't explicitly label himself in the show, once Rob met David for the first time it was fairly clear that he was infatuated with him. The show invited viewers to speculate about whether Rob's feelings for Adele may have run deeper than friendship, but he had also vocalised his interest in men earlier in the series. Sure he was a drug addict who was plagued by financial issues too, but it would be remiss not to look a little deeper than that. Instead, his queerness was depicted as a motivation for his actions.

His sexuality was not inconsequential to Rob's 'bad guy' role in the show's finale twist. So, by revealing him to be the villain of the piece, Behind Her Eyes was wading into murky waters. Rob was – as far as the show told us – the only LGBTQ+ character. While this all sounds utterly bizarre, it actually holds a much darker and more complicated (yes, really) meaning.

The scene was already set for it to look like suicide, and the blame for Rob's death could now be placed firmly on Adele, leaving David and 'Louise' free to be together. Rob, determined to make his jump to Louise's body permanent, then killed Adele/Louise by the very same lethal injection. In episode six and back to the present day, Adele's body was now occupied by Louise (whose essence had nowhere else to go). While she was trapped inside his body, he killed her with a heavy dose of heroin and stuffed his own body (with Adele inside) down the well. Once David had left, Rob convinced Adele to astral project with him – only it was a trick to allow him to claim her body for himself.

He'd also met David, the love of Adele's life, and he longed for the comfort and security that his best friend was afforded. The pair bonded over their shared secret of dream walking at night they were both able to leave their bodies, and float around while their physical selves were tucked away in bed.Īfter they'd left the hospital, Rob went to visit Adele at her family home. In flashback scenes, we learned that Rob and Adele had become inseparable during their time in the mental health facility.
