His and Hers (Spoiler-Free): This One Got Me
His and Hers (Spoiler-Free): This One Got Me
Every now and then a crime thriller sneaks up on you. You hit play expecting something comfortably familiar — a mystery death, some moody tension, a few suspicious glances — and suddenly you’re fully locked in. That’s exactly what happened here.
His and Hers starts the way many crime dramas do: a mysterious death, unanswered questions, and just enough breadcrumbs to pull you forward. But what separates this series from the overcrowded field of “dark and broody murder shows” is how quickly it stops feeling generic and starts feeling personal.
There’s a relatability baked into the story that makes the tension hit harder. The characters aren’t just puzzle pieces in a plot — they feel messy, human, and occasionally frustrating in the way real people are. I found myself cycling through interest, intrigue, anger, sympathy, and empathy sometimes within the same episode. That emotional whiplash? Completely intentional, and honestly, very effective.
The pacing is another standout. This thing is bingeable in the most dangerous way. Episodes move with enough urgency to keep you glued to the screen, but without that exhausting “manufactured chaos” energy some thrillers lean on. It constantly escalates, keeps you guessing, and manages to sustain tension without feeling like it’s trying too hard.
And yes — without getting anywhere near spoiler territory — the ending absolutely lands. It’s shocking, logical, and one of those moments that makes you mentally rewind earlier scenes going, “Wait… hold on.” The series even tossed in just enough misdirection that I briefly started side-eyeing other possibilities along the way. Exactly what you want from a twist-driven story.
Now, because no review is honest without at least one gripe…
There’s a plot hole that seriously bugged me. Without diving into specifics, a particular character dynamic tied to a major traumatic backstory never really gets addressed in a way that feels believable. It’s the kind of thing that doesn’t ruin the show, but once you notice it, your brain keeps poking at it like a loose tooth. For a series that’s otherwise so sharp with character psychology, that disconnect stands out.
Still, flaws aside, this is exactly what a limited series should be.
One season. One contained story. No sequel bait. No “we’ll see how streaming numbers look.” Just a tight, dark, twisty ride that respects your time and your attention span.
If you’re a fan of dark, mysterious crime dramas that actually deliver on the intrigue, His and Hers is an easy recommendation.
This one got me — and I don’t say that lightly.
