A gripping new thriller has landed on Netflix, promising to be the ideal binge-watch to shake off the January blues. The six-part series, ‘His & Hers’, launched on the streaming platform on Thursday, 8th January, and is already being celebrated for its addictive, twist-filled plot.
A Chilling Murder In A Small Town
The story unfolds in a small town in Georgia, thrown into panic by the grisly murder of a local woman. Tessa Thompson stars as Anna, a reclusive Atlanta news anchor who sees the case as a chance for a career comeback. Meanwhile, Jon Bernthal plays Detective Jack Harper, the officer leading the official investigation.
As the drama progresses, the series reveals the pair's complex and thorny connections to each other and to the crime itself. The show has been described by Midgard Times as “unhinged, ridiculous, sexy, and sensational”, setting the tone for a rollercoaster viewing experience.
Critical Acclaim And Bingeable Appeal
Based on the bestselling novel by Alice Feeney, the series is being touted as the perfect weekend watch. The Guardian praised it as “twisty, absurd and bingeable” and “ideal new year TV”, suggesting viewers simply switch off their brains and enjoy the glossy, efficient adaptation.
IGN noted that the show, helmed by showrunners Dee Johnson and William Oldroyd, elevates itself beyond a standard whodunnit. The review highlighted the crackling chemistry between Thompson and Bernthal, stating every scene they share is loaded with yearning and personal history.
The publication added that while it starts as a typical murder mystery, ‘His & Hers’ evolves into a deeper examination of grief, marriage, and parenthood, keeping viewers hooked from start to finish.
A Strong Start On The Review Aggregators
The series is off to a strong start with critics, currently holding an impressive 88 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. This consensus suggests that for anyone looking for a compelling new series this weekend, ‘His & Hers’ is a well-worth-your-time investment.
With all six episodes available to stream at once, the show is perfectly designed for a single-sitting binge or a weekend immersion, packed with gasp-worthy reveals that promise to linger long after the final credits roll.
