TV enthusiasts have shared their shock over a new crime thriller series on Netflix – and they’re urging everyone to check it out thanks to its unexpected ending
Netflix viewers have been left utterly stunned after watching the streaming service’s latest must-see programme. Film enthusiast Eccy Review, who posts updates about new television programmes and films on his social media platforms, has expressed his astonishment over the series His and Hers.
Available on the platform since January 8, subscribers have been racing through the show and posting their reactions online. Eccy Reviews said: “Now, you need to be checking out this show on Netflix. It’s a dark, gritty crime thriller which I absolutely love and it doesn’t let me down whatsoever.
“I loved every single second of this show and I binged the entire series in one sitting. When it came to the last episode, my jaw was on the floor.”
His and Hers centres on a journalist investigating a murder in her home town, who comes into conflict with a distrustful detective. The IMDb synopsis states: “Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a journalist.
“But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega, the sleepy town where she grew up, Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers.
“Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: his and hers, which means someone is always lying.”
One social media user commented on the post, stating: “Gonna start watching it today.”
Another added their recommendation: “His and Hers on Netflix is fire.” A third couldn’t resist a little boast: “Sorry to be smug but I’d worked it out half-way through!”
Over on IMDb, one reviewer shared their thoughts: “Okay, the acting was strong, overall everything was on point but maybe slow. I believed I knew who was the killer, and I was like – okay too predictable, who made this?”
“The ending was brilliant, and I will stop here. I wanted to give a five but now it is good eight.
“Also, I hated every character of Rachel, Helen, Catherine, and also Zoe. Bunch of violent, complex brats and women they were, they disgusted me.”
Another viewer said: “I have been excitedly awaiting this series since I read the book about a year ago. The book was amazing so I had high hopes for this adaptation.
“As book adaptations go, this is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Naturally there are some differences but knowing the book, these changes do make sense as TV shows cannot give as much of a character background or insight as a book can.
“The acting was superb, naturally I knew who the killer was but I think this show did a good job of keeping viewers guessing and providing multiple suspects. My only real complaint is that the final showdown wasn’t as dramatic or lengthy as in a book, and I felt this was over too quickly in the TV show.
“It would have been more dramatic to extend it a bit, as I felt there was all this suspense and build up to that moment and then it was over in a flash. The bottom line is, I highly recommend watching this series, and I absolutely recommend reading the original book.”
