Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 66 /100

Critics are decidedly split on Netflix's His & Hers, though many agree it serves up an addictively chaotic, bingeable mystery ideal for popcorn viewing. Driven by the strong performances and screen chemistry of lead stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, the limited series leans heavily into dark psychological tension, shifting perspectives, and relentless plot turns.

Enthusiastic reviews praise the show as an elevated thriller that embraces its own wild tone. Reviewers at outlets like IGN, Variety, and The Guardian highlighting the leads' fiery interactions and describing the series as twisty, fast-paced, and deliciously unhinged entertainment.

On the other hand, more skeptical critics found the murder mystery frustrating and narrative choices improbable. Outlets such as The A.V. Club and Movie Nation argued that the series favors cheap shock value over meaningful character development and emotional depth, making the overall experience feel shallow despite solid efforts from the cast.

“Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal's fiery chemistry makes His & Hers an elevated thriller that levels up the material from a standard murder mystery into something gripping and bingeable.”

“This six-part adaptation of the bestselling 2020 novel about a murder investigation is twisty, absurd and bingeable.”

“Unsatisfying and improbable, the series prioritizes shock value over substantial world-building and character development.”

“His & Hers is one of the most unhinged shows ever seen on television.”

Why fans love it

Fans of this 2026 mystery drama miniseries are drawn to its harsh, competitive spin on a murder investigation. Instead of teaming up, an estranged detective and a news reporter race to solve the same homicide. The friction deepens because each spouse suspects the other of committing the crime, turning a standard case into a cruel, personal contest.

Tessa Thompson leads a cast operating in a bleak, cautionary story that does not soften its blows. Beyond the central intrigue, the narrative weaves in heavy elements of dementia and bullying, confronting familiar genre clichés with an intentionally stark tone. It offers a bitter, sharp examination of what happens when personal history and professional duty collide.
