Netflix viewers have been hooked on the “unhinged” new thriller series with a jaw-dropping twist that has been dubbed the perfect January binge.

On Thursday, Netflix released the psychological thriller series His & Hers.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Alice Feeney, the plot follows journalist Anna, played by Tessa Thompson, who becomes obsessed with the brutal murder of a woman in Atlanta and discovers her own personal ties to the case.

The official synopsis reads: “Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor.”

“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.”

Jack, played by Jon Bernthal, a local detective, is suspicious of Anna’s involvement in the case, and learns there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

In the trailer, it is revealed that the pair are estranged, and were once married and in love, creating higher stakes for their suspicion of each other.

Further, Anna uncovers that not only did Jack know the victim, but they had been romantically involved, leading her further down the rabbit hole.

When released in 2020, the book received raving reviews and has become a staple on #BookTok for lovers of psychological thrillers, and THAT mindbending twist.

Following the release, viewers immediately binged the series and took to social media to share their thoughts, calling it a “10/10.”
