Review: His & Hers 7.5/10

His & Hers is a tightly constructed mystery thriller that understands the value of perspective and misdirection. The series follows estranged spouses Anna Andrews and Jack Harper as they investigate a series of murders that slowly expose not just the truth of the case, but the fractures in their own relationship. From the start, the show makes it clear that trust is a moving target, and that uncertainty becomes its greatest strength.

The performances anchor the series. Tessa Thompson brings emotional complexity and restraint to Anna, while Jon Bernthal gives Jack a rawness that keeps him compelling even when his character choices are frustrating. Their dynamic carries much of the show’s tension, especially as personal history bleeds into the investigation. Critics have largely agreed that the acting is what elevates the material, particularly in moments where the plotting threatens to feel familiar.

Where His & Hers truly stands out, though, is its twist. Without spoiling anything, the final reveal reframes the story in a way that feels intentional rather than gimmicky. It’s the kind of ending that rewards attention and hindsight, encouraging you to mentally replay earlier episodes. Not having read the book likely worked in the show’s favor here, as the twist landed with genuine impact and surprise.

That said, the series isn’t without flaws. The pacing slows in the middle episodes, and some secondary characters feel underdeveloped, existing more to serve the mystery than to stand on their own. There are moments where the logic stretches just enough to be noticeable, and the show occasionally leans into familiar thriller beats instead of pushing deeper.

Still, His & Hers remains engaging throughout. Even when it stumbles, it maintains a steady sense of unease and momentum that makes it easy to keep watching. It may not reinvent the genre, but it executes its ideas with confidence and delivers a finale that justifies the journey.

Overall, it’s a solid, well-acted mystery with a twist that sticks the landing. For viewers who enjoy character-driven thrillers and are willing to sit with some narrative messiness, His & Hers earns a 7.5 out of 10.
