Hi, I’m Josh Nason. I wrote this.
Netflix kicked off their 2026 thriller season strong with January’s His & Hers starring Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson.

2026

Adults that enjoy similar “whodunnit” shows with some modern flair and stylings that feature big stars, but are also ready to move on after one season.

How about another sentence?
Bernthal plays a law enforcement official while Thompson is a news anchor based in Atlanta…and they have a relationship.

Low
If you like these shows, you’ll like this one:
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 His & Hers?
If you are into these type of mystery thrillers, you won’t come away from His & Hers disappointed. The finale really pays off and there’s plenty of potential players to question as the prime suspect which makes watching with someone pretty fun as you can play the guessing game.
Also, 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.
