A new heart-pounding thriller has gripped the nation, rocketing straight to the top of Netflix's UK charts. His & Hers, a six-part limited series that landed on the platform on 8 January 2026, is being hailed for a shocking plot development that has left audiences stunned.
A Murder Mystery That Pits Spouse Against Spouse
Adapted from Alice Feeney's 2020 novel, the show features Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson as a pair of estranged partners, Jack and Anna. He is a detective under intense pressure to solve a murder; she is a reclusive news reporter drawn to a haunting killing in her sleepy hometown of Dahlonega, Atlanta. The central hook is a deliciously tense premise: each believes the other is the prime suspect.
The series has been met with critical acclaim for its relentless pacing and cunning narrative. Digital Spy lauded it for containing the 'most diabolical twist in years', while Variety boldly called it 'one of the most unhinged shows ever seen on television'. In a 9/10 review, IGN stated the show 'keeps you hooked from beginning to end'.
Viewers and Critics Are Gobsmacked
The reaction from audiences has mirrored the critical praise. On social media and review sites, viewers have expressed their shock at the series' layered conclusion. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) noted, 'The way I thought the plot twist was obvious…only for the real reveal to happen, something I never saw coming. This series ate!'
Author Alice Feeney reflected on the seven-year journey from page to screen, telling Netflix's TUDUM: 'I love this story with all of my dark heart, I love the TV series too, and everyone who helped make this dream come true.'
Following Another Hit Thriller
The success of His & Hers follows another recent Netflix thriller based on a Harlan Coben novel, Run Away, which also saw a rapid ascent up the streaming rankings. That series, starring James Nesbitt and Minnie Driver, currently holds a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
For those seeking a weekend binge packed with suspense, stellar performances, and a truly jaw-dropping finale, His & Hers appears to be the perfect choice. All six episodes are available to stream on Netflix now.
