A murder in a quiet community. Two central figures drawn into the case. Secrets that ripple outward as the investigation deepens. Yet as the series unfolds, it becomes clear that this glossy thriller is less concerned with solving a crime than with examining how truth bends under the weight of emotion, ambition, and unresolved relationships. Released at the start of the year, His & Hers arrives at a moment when audiences are both saturated with crime dramas and increasingly selective about which ones deserve their attention.
