Netflix has become a mainstay in the world of psychological thrillers, and the genre is certainly well-represented on the streamer. From slow-burn character studies to twisty, binge-ready whodunits, Netflix has made a habit of delivering stories that thrive on secrets, unreliable narrators and simmering tension. It’s the kind of genre that rewards patience — and punishes trust.
"His & Hers," starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, is the latest entry to join that crowded slate. The limited series follows a journalist and her detective ex-husband as they separately investigate a local murder, each bringing their own baggage, blind spots and motivations to the case. As the two narratives circle the same crime from different angles, it becomes increasingly clear that truth is subjective — and someone is lying.
