24 Memes That Live In Our Head Rent-Free After Binge-Watching Obsession On Netflix
Since it debuted on Netflix last week, it didn’t take long for Obsession to quickly become one of the most watched shows on the streaming giant around the world.
Word of mouth (especially about *that* hotel pillow scene) and a marketing campaign that had more than a whiff of Fifty Shades about it has had millions of us tuning in.
But the four-part drama, which tells the story of a surgeon who embarks upon a sex-fuelled affair with his son’s girlfriend, as the pair grow increasingly infatuated with one another, has left many viewers with more questions than answers.
After streaming the whole series, we’re still left with an overwhelming sense of “what have I just watched”? And we’re not the only ones...
(Warning: spoilers ahead)...
From the get-go, people were puzzled/stressed/alarmed/speechless but couldn’t. stop. watching.

Thank god I checked Twitter before watching more than 10 minutes of #ObsessionNetflix because...*spoilers* this guy destroyed his life by having an affair w/ his son's fiancée & was the cause of his son's death. Then he's all like, "Still, I wouldn't change it." GET. THERAPY. pic.twitter.com/Ydj0FqNrCF

And Anna’s reaction to her dead fiancé was so stone cold it was borderline iconic
Anna walking by a naked William, and cracked skull Jay on the steps with no acknowledgement was so unhinged I had to bust out laughing. #ObsessionNetflix

But never mind the plot, what about Anna’s barnet?
Anna’s haircut is the only part of this show worth obsessing over. It’s so distractingly bad #ObsessionNetflixpic.twitter.com/nEVJt0h9Sw
