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

His & Hers breaks a lot of thriller rules, and it’s about exclusively unpleasant characters, but both of these things ultimately benefit it across six tight, twisty episodes.

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.

But as a series, “His & Hers” is best at luring us in. The payoffs are consistently disappointing and the final episode basically an eye-roller, start-to-finish — all filler and “explanations” and “You didn’t see THAT coming” when we most certainly did and a long time before.

“His & Hers” hints at a welcome playfulness by revealing the reporter/cop connection just after Anna has sex with someone else she just met. But the show quickly becomes irretrievably serious, despite most storylines hinging on conflicts of interest so outrageous they would only make sense in a farce.

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.
