It’s an enthralling adaptation of Feeney’s thriller masterpiece.

Repeatedly, and amusingly, toys with expectations.

The performances and potential for lots of twists makes His & Hers a show that we want to see more of. But the first episode needed to give viewers a few more crums of contextual information in order for it to make more story sense.

It all floats along, watchable enough as far as it goes. It unfolds in that middle ground somewhere between utter boredom and compelling entertainment. But you can do better than that.

Where the ending of "His & Hers" straddles the line between good and bad in an interesting fashion, most of the show up until that point falls in the much less exciting middle ground of mere mediocrity.

The general indifference shown toward its own story — or, at least, the best versions of it — comes to emphasize the emptiness at its core. And the big reveal, so preciously protected until the very end, isn’t clever enough to distract from such a muted build-up. It isn’t really clever at all.

Unfortunately, with almost no chemistry between them [Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal], they’re lost in a sea of unconvincing misdirections that should have been a 90-minute feature, if that.
