If your jaw is still firmly on the floor after that “His & Hers” finale, don’t worry, you are not alone.

Netflix’s latest viral hit has mastered the art of the "wait, what?!" ending, leaving us all frantically scrolling through TikTok to see if there were clues we missed.

If you binge-watched the series in one day, you’re probably looking for another one that will leave you saying, “I didn’t see that coming.”

Here are five limited series to put on your watchlist if you’re looking for that unimaginable ending.

Behind Her Eyes

This is arguably the most "viral" twist we've seen in recent years. What starts as a moody, slightly uncomfortable love triangle between a single mom, her handsome boss, and his mysterious wife slowly morphs into something much more sinister. By the final episode, the show takes a hard left turn into territory you won’t see coming in a million years. If you thought “His & Hers” was wild, you’ll either love the ending or want to throw your remote against the wall.

Length: 6 Episodes

Where to watch: Netflix

Twist type: Reality-shifting / genre-bending

Sharp Objects

A reporter returns to her Missouri hometown to cover the murder of two young girls, all while dealing with her overbearing mother and a teenage half-sister who is… well, complicated. This is a slow-burning masterpiece, but the real magic is in the finale. The twist isn't just a plot point; it’s a terrifying realisation delivered in the very last seconds of the show. Tip: Don’t look away when the credits start rolling, or you’ll miss the most disturbing part of the reveal.

Length: 8 Episodes

Where to watch: Max (HBO)

Twist type: Chilling reveal / psychological

Fool Me Once

If you liked the fast-paced, "unreliable narrator" energy of “His & Hers,” this Harlan Coben adaptation is your next stop. It follows Maya, a former soldier who sees her supposedly dead husband on a nanny cam. It’s a twist-a-minute ride that keeps you guessing about who is a villain and who is a victim right up until the final confrontation, which completely flips the script on Maya's entire journey.

Length: 8 Episodes

Where to watch: Netflix

Twist type: "Everything is a lie"

The Undoing

Starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, this series is all about the cracks in a "perfect" high-society life. When a woman is brutally murdered, a devoted husband becomes the prime suspect. The show plays a brilliant game with the audience's expectations—it makes you feel smart for doubting the obvious, only to pull the rug out from under you by showing how easily we can be manipulated by charm.

Length: 6 Episodes

Where to watch: Max (HBO)

Twist type: Psychological deception

Clickbait

This one is the definition of "bingeable." A family man is kidnapped, and a viral video says he’ll be killed once it hits 5 million views. Every episode shifts perspective to a different character, peeling back layers of a digital mystery. The ending is famous for being almost impossible to predict because the "who" and the "why" are so deeply hidden in the subplots. It’s the ultimate "I didn't see that coming" finale.

Length: 8 Episodes

Where to watch: Netflix

Twist type: Total curveball
