Harlan Coben's I Will Find You placed third with 64 million, while his second series Run Away came fifth with 50 million.

Based on Alice Feeney novel
His & Hers is based on the best-selling Alice Feeney novel of the same name. The official synopsis reads: "In the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna (Thompson) lives in haunted reclusion, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears talk about a murder in Dahlonega — the sleepy north Georgia town where she grew up — Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation."
Tessa Thompson, who takes on the lead role, said: "Georgia is an excellent place for filming, often called the Hollywood of the South, fostering a lively energy among productions. There is also a genuine feel when shooting on location in Atlanta and Dahlonega, which allows us to engage with the local community, like newscasters and police, to add authenticity to the show."
Viewer praise
Viewers praised the series on Reddit, with one writing: "For a mini series it was really good. I was not expecting the ending AT ALL.." Another added: "I thought it was excellent! I haven't read any of the books, but now I'm compelled to."
