Edge-of-Your-Seat Crime Thriller ‘His & Hers’ Hooks Viewers in Record Time

Netflix’s Latest Sensation: ‘His & Hers’

Netflix’s newest thriller, His & Hers, is taking the streaming world by storm. This six-part series, hailed as a ‘seductive and twisty psychological thriller,’ has viewers gripped from the very first episode. The show follows married couple Anna Andrews and Jack Harper, portrayed by Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, as they navigate a shocking murder investigation. With Anna being a journalist and Jack a detective, their dynamic takes a dark turn as each begins to suspect the other of being the prime suspect.

The Allure of ‘His & Hers’

The series is based on Alice Feeney’s 2020 bestseller, renowned for its genuinely shocking and gripping narrative. Directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker William Oldroyd, whose previous work includes the acclaimed drama Lady Macbeth, and executive produced by Dee Johnson, known for her work on thrillers like Zero Day and Fellow Travelers, His & Hers promises to be a binge-worthy experience.

Adding to the star power, Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain serves as an executive producer through her company Freckle Films. This combination of talented individuals both on and off-screen has created a series that is as captivating as it is suspenseful.

Viewer Reactions

The thriller has been a massive hit with viewers, many of whom have binge-watched all six episodes in one sitting. Social media is buzzing with praise for the show:

• “Binged His & Hers in full. Honestly, it might be one of the most enjoyable and addictive crime thrillers I’ve watched in a while. It had me guessing (and guessing wrong) the whole way through!”
• “Hooked after just 20 minutes.”
• “Binged His & Hers in one day and I’m still not over it. The story gives you chills and thrills. Then that soundtrack just hits differently.”
• “His & Hers on Netflix has so many twists and turns. I’m hooked.”

The Plot Unfolds

Set in Atlanta, the story revolves around Anna, a news anchor living in haunted reclusion and fading away from her friends and career. When news of a murder in Dahlonega, the sleepy north Georgia town where she grew up, comes to light, Anna seizes the opportunity to investigate. Meanwhile, Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement and pursues her into the crosshairs of his own investigation.

The twist? Anna and Jack are estranged husband and wife, and they both believe each other to be the prime suspect in the murder case. The series also stars Sunita Mani, Crystal Fox, and Rebecca Rittenhouse, adding depth and intrigue to the storyline.

Critical Acclaim

The series has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The Guardian describes it as “twisty, absurd, and bingeable,” while Variety hails it as “one of the most unhinged shows ever seen on television.” However, Time criticizes it as “too grim to be fun” and “too silly to take seriously,” and The Hollywood Reporter calls it “disappointing.”

Despite the mixed reviews, the consensus among viewers is clear: His & Hers is a must-watch. All episodes are available to stream on Netflix now.
