The Beast In Me, Presumed Innocent, The White Lotus, Love & Death, The Night Of

Is this a first or second screen show?

Second screen, but I’d focus in on the finale intently.

Should you watch?

I think if you’re into these type of mystery thrillers, you won’t come away from His & Hers disappointed. Again, the finale really pays off and there’s plenty of people to question as the prime suspect which makes watching with someone fun to guess who it could be. The episodes are short and at a total four hour runtime, that’s easy to bang out over a weekend.

It’s not the best of the thriller mini-series boom, but it’s far from the worst.
