A gripping new thriller has landed on Netflix, promising to be the ideal binge-watch for the January season. The six-part series, titled 'His & Hers,' launched globally on the streaming platform on Thursday, 8th January.
A Twisted Tale in Small-Town Georgia
The show stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal in a dark narrative set in a panic-stricken small town in Georgia. The plot is triggered by the grisly murder of a local woman. Thompson plays Anna, a reclusive Atlanta news anchor who sees the case as a chance for a career comeback. Opposite her, Bernthal portrays Detective Jack Harper, the officer leading the official investigation.
As the story unfolds, the series reveals the thorny connections both Anna and Jack share with each other and the shocking crime at its centre. The drama has been described by Midgard Times as "unhinged, ridiculous, sexy, and sensational."
Critical Acclaim and Addictive Plot
Based on the bestselling thriller novel of the same name by Alice Feeney, the series is already garnering significant praise from critics. It currently holds an impressive 88 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Guardian labelled it "twisty, absurd and bingeable," and "ideal new year TV." Their review suggests viewers "switch off our brains and enjoy" the glossy, efficient adaptation, noting that the plentiful twists and multiplying absurdities make for perfect comfort television.
Meanwhile, IGN praised the show for elevating itself above standard Netflix thriller fare. The review highlighted the crackling chemistry between Thompson and Bernthal, noting that every scene they share is loaded with yearning, grief, and personal history. While it starts as a typical murder mystery, the series evolves into a deeper examination of grief, marriage, and parenthood, keeping viewers hooked from start to finish.
The Ultimate Weekend Watch
With all six episodes available at once, 'His & Hers' is designed for a weekend binge—or even a single, utterly engrossing sitting. The show is being promoted as a must-watch for anyone seeking a suspenseful, star-powered drama to kick off the new year.
Helmed by showrunners Dee Johnson (known for Fellow Travelers and Nashville) and William Oldroyd, the series promises gasp-worthy twists and an addictive plot that digs its hooks in from the very beginning. 'His & Hers' is available to stream exclusively on Netflix now.
