For "His & Hers", the glossy new thriller that's primed to be the perfect guilty pleasure for TV viewers on New Year's Day, producers Jessica Chastain and a talented cast are bringing a bestselling novel by Alice Feeney to life in six juicy episodes.
As we meet the show's protagonist Anna (Tessa Thompson), a sharp-witted former TV news anchor seeking redemption in her small hometown, it's clear that she's got some scores to settle. Her presence at the scene of a gruesome murder is no coincidence - this is very much a story about two sides to every story, and one woman is clearly hiding something.
With Anna at the helm, Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal), a gruff but affable small-town detective, becomes her unlikely partner in unraveling the tangled threads of the case. As they dig deeper, their complicated past as estranged husband and wife begins to surface, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction.
The plot thickens with Anna's complex history with her former clique, including a particularly nasty girl who may have played a role in Rachel Hopkins' - the murdered woman at the center of the story - untimely demise. Alongside Jack, we also meet Clyde (Chris Bauer), the husband driven to despair by his wife's mercenary ways; Anna's sister Zoe, struggling with addiction; and an aging mother whose fading memory may hold a crucial secret.
The show is all about keeping you guessing, as each new revelation throws another bombshell into the mix. While some plot twists might be justly criticized for relying on convenient coincidences - like the conveniently available dementia-stricken relative - overall "His & Hers" delivers on its promise of addictive entertainment with a script that's sharp and serviceable.
With binge-watching built-in, this slick adaptation is more than happy to take you out of the driver's seat, allowing you to simply enjoy the ride. And that's exactly what it's designed for - a warm-up show for the New Year, full of juicy secrets, sizzling tension, and plenty of twists to keep you hooked until the very end.
