REVIEW: His & hers – Netflix’s Latest Mystery Is a Twisty, One-Day Binge You Won’t See Coming

I’m always down for a twisty little show, and His & Hers almost completely flew under my radar. I remember seeing it pop up as one of Netflix’s big headline announcements and not thinking much of it at the time. It wasn’t until I noticed all the strong reviews rolling in—and saw it sitting comfortably in the Top 10 (I think around number three or four)—that I finally decided to give it a shot.

And honestly, His & Hers turned out to be such a breezy watch. It’s one of those shows you can easily knock out in a single day. Part of that is thanks to the short episode runtimes, but the real reason is how relentlessly it keeps throwing twists and turns at you. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on where things are going, it pulls the rug out from under you. The mystery keeps unfolding at a steady pace and builds toward a genuinely wild ending. I’ll straight up call BS on anyone who says they saw it coming—but credit where it’s due to the writers for hiding the truth in plain sight.

One standout element that might fly under a lot of people’s radar is the score by Mac Quayle (American Horror Story, Mr. Robot). It’s very minimalist, but the main theme is incredibly catchy and does a fantastic job establishing this constant sense of unease. There’s something ominous baked into the music, like danger is lurking around every corner, and it really helps set the tone from the jump.

Performance-wise, the entire cast delivers. Tessa Thompson’s Anna Andrews is presented from the very beginning as someone you shouldn’t fully trust. There’s clearly something she’s hiding, which immediately frames her as a potential culprit in these murders. Thompson leans into that ambiguity beautifully, playing the character in a cryptic, almost femme fatale-like way—ambitious, alluring, and quietly dangerous. Jon Bernthal is also great as the detective who gets pulled into this web of lies in a very personal way, for reasons the show lays out early on. He excels at playing these simmering, passive-aggressive types. The dynamic between him and Thompson really works, especially in the fleeting moments of tenderness that break through the bitterness and resentment shaped by a major loss in their past.

All in all, if you’re looking for a show that keeps you guessing, on edge, and occasionally outright shocked, this one is absolutely worth checking out.
