Netflix's His & Hers Becomes A Viewer Favorite
His & Hers is a 2026 Netflix limited series (six episodes) — not a traditional movie — adapted from Alice Feeney’s bestselling 2020 novel.
It stars Tessa Thompson as Anna Andrews, a former news anchor, and Jon Bernthal as Jack Harper, a detective — both estranged spouses drawn back together by a murder investigation in their Georgia hometown. The mystery hinges on each character’s perspective — everybody has their truth — and the title reflects that tension. His & Hers has surged to #1 on Netflix’s global charts, outpacing even huge franchises like Stranger Things.
The series intertwines murder mystery with relational drama and keeps viewers guessing — many report being hooked early and finishing the whole thing fast.
Viewers and some critics praise performances by Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal — their presence draws attention even from people who might not usually watch a thriller. A key reveal late in the finale — and its implications for grief, loyalty, and how we judge others — has become a major talking point online and in reviews.
Fans on social media are praising the unexpected twists and emotional hooks. And rightfully so.
Some reviewers felt the writing and structure were inconsistent or the story less compelling than the setup.
A few say the mystery’s resolution didn’t fully pay off for them. But even amid criticism, it’s conversation-generating, which fuels viewership in the streaming age.
Even if you’ve never read the book, the adaptation’s twists and layered viewpoints make it one of the most talked-about Netflix releases of early 2026.
