The six-part limited series, which debuted in January, quickly shot to the top of the streaming giant's charts, accumulating 25.6 million views in the US between January and March, as reported by Nielsen.
Starring Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson, the show is set in Atlanta and follows Anna, a reclusive former news anchor who becomes obsessed with a murder case in her hometown. Detective Jack Harper grows suspicious of her involvement, leading to a tense cat-and-mouse game. The series is based on Alice Feeney's novel of the same name.
Critics have described the show as 'unhinged, ridiculous, sexy, and sensational', while one verdict called it 'one of Netflix's most underrated crime thrillers'. In the UK, YouGov data shows 'His & Hers' garnered 33.3 million views in January alone, making it one of the biggest new releases, only beaten by returning seasons of 'Bridgerton', 'Fallout', 'Stranger Things', and Harlan Coben's 'Run Away'.
Globally, Netflix lists 'His & Hers' as the 10th most viewed show on the service of all time, with 98.2 million views. It outperformed new seasons of 'Fallout', 'High Potential', and 'Bridgerton', as well as Yellowstone spin-offs 'The Madison' and 'Marshals'. Fans have praised the series, with one calling it a 'terrific murder mystery' and another hailing it as 'one of the best Whodunnits of 2026'.
