His & Hers is a mystery series that just gets wilder and wilder the longer it goes on. Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson are phenomenal.
I love a mystery series that keeps you guessing all the way through, and that is exactly what Netflix’s new series, His & Hers, does. From the very first few minutes of the series, I was all the way in. I mean, Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal? Sign me up. That was basically all that I needed to know and as the show continued on, there were many more reasons to love it.
The story follows Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) as he works to solve a murder case. However, the more that we learn about the case, the harder it becomes to figure out who did it. Jack himself has ties to the victim, although they do live in a small town, so almost everybody does.
Anna (Thompson) is a reporter who has been away for about a year after suffering a tragedy, but arrives back in town just in time to cover the murder. She also has ties to the victim. As a mother, I really related to her story and could absolutely understand where she is coming from throughout the series. I do not want to give anything away, but Tessa Thompson delivers an incredibly powerful and emotional performance throughout every episode.
That said, it is when Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson grace the screen together that His & Hers truly shines. Both of them are phenomenal actors, and when I say they bring their A-game, trust me. Their chemistry is off the charts, no matter what emotions their characters are feeling in the scene. I need them to do a million projects together, please and thank you. Heck, Marvel can give us a Punisher and Valkyrie series, and I will absolutely watch it.
This is one of those shows that is hard to talk about without giving spoilers, so I will simply say that you might think you have it all figured out, but I promise you, you don’t. His & Hers keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through, right up until the jaw-dropping end. I thought by the middle of the season I had it all figured out, but I was so very wrong. And I couldn’t be happier about it.
There were moments when my heart was pounding out of my chest and others when I was wiping away tears. Every character brings something exciting and thrilling to the story. This is one of those shows that you are going to want to binge all the way through – and then watch it all over again to pick up on hints that you missed.
His & Hers is an unforgettable experience. It is dark, twisted, and absolutely bonkers. Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal shine, but the supporting cast pulls their weight as well. I could not recommend this series enough, especially if you love a good mystery like I do.
About His & Hers
Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: HIS & HERS, which means someone is always lying.
His & Hers is now streaming on Netflix.
