Love makes the world go around, they say. Well, most of the time this is true. The benign, selfless love that we have grown up watching on screen and reading in romance novels is really the stuff of legends. But what happens when the thin line between love and obsession fades. It ends in chaos, crime and cries for help. At least that is what Netflix's new series, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein shows. The series has gained rave views from critics and audiences. It traces the journey of a man who catches the eye of a woman who will stop at nothing to have him.
What follows is a dangerous journey into a world of crime and violence that the lead characters of the film rush into. If you found Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein a compelling watch, we recommend you take a look at this list of five other OTT shows that offer the same rush of thrill and drama.
- You – Netflix
You is an American psychological thriller show that follows a seemingly harmless bookstore manager Joe Goldberg, who is, in fact, a serial killer. Joe is a man who falls in love and develops an extreme obsession with his partners, and will not stop at anything to remove the imagined obstacles in his path at attaining them – even if it means hurting them.
- Dirty John – Netflix
Based on a true story, Dirty John is the tale of a woman who realises that the man she loves is not who she thought him to be. Rubbishing warnings from loved ones, the wealthy woman falls for John Meehan, a con man who only has devious intentions. Then, her world falls apart.
- The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story -- Netflix
The series is a dramatised version of the famous OJ Simpson murder trial. After Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman are found stabbed to death outside Nicole's house, suspicion falls on Nicole's husband OJ Simpson who was claimed by many to be a jealous and violent partner.
- Big Little Lies – Disney + Hotstar
Big Little Lies is a story of five women and their secrets. The women are often just spectators to things happening around them, for they don't want to lose all that they hold dear – family, status, money and identity. Throw into this mix a horrific murder and what you get is a cracker of a thriller.
- Killing Eve – Prime Video
Usually, there is only one obsessive stalker in any equation. But in Killing Eve there are two formidable women -- a British intelligence investigator and an assassin -- who are equally obsessed with each other and have one mission: to find the other and destroy her.
With this list in hand, we bet you will have a happening weekend ahead.
