“There are at least two sides to every story. Yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and hers…which means someone is always lying.” If those opening lines didn’t give it away, the Netflix drama His & Hers, which debuted on January 8, is a twisty psychological thriller where nothing is as it seems. The series, based on Alice Feeney’s mystery-thriller novel of the same name, stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal as news reporter Anna Andrews and detective Jack Harper, who both have connections to a shocking murder case in their rural Georgia hometown—oh, and they’re estranged spouses, too.
The threads of why Anna and Jack are so interested in this case—beyond her desire to report on a sensational news story and his obligation as local law enforcement—are just the tip of the iceberg here. Dahlonega is the kind of small town where everybody knows everyone, and the locals have plenty to hide. Anna and Jack do too, which is why they’re both also suspicious of the other’s involvement in the case.
