The sister is a HORRIBLE actress.

Wow, I really hated this series. Was always intrigued by the Harlan Coben-type shows because I love a true crime mystery and Netflix recommends them to me- but this was truly terrible.

I hated how every character was awful and you didn't want to root for anyone. I hated how the investigation seemed almost cartoonishly babyish-- the fact that the sherrif/officers were even considering Jack's POV when he was saying "just because the two women who died were friends since high school and had their friendship bracelets in their mouths does not mean the other two good friends in the group have ANYTHING to do with this!!!" And it's like they almost believed him and they had to be won over by his partner Priya. I know small town police mindset is a thing but that was unbelievable.

I saw that Lexy was Catherine from a mile away. Halfway through the series I thought Alice was faking and she's the killer.

Maybe Anna blocked out what happened to her as a teen, I guess.... but was it ever explained why Richard the cameraman had those weird supplies? Why did he freak out when Anna was on the phone at the lake house?

I hated the pacing. I hate when there's a dark subject matter (because it can be depressing!) and it's not even worth it because the story is not smart and intriguing.

Thanks- I was 1-2 episodes in avoiding the spoilers but I'm glad I checked becauase it's so bad. I can't stand any of the characters. You're so right about it being dark but not even clever.

It was almost worth it for Tessa Thompson but the story was just dark and preposterous. The Lexy piece was both inexplicable and dumb beyond belief.

Is this based off of the Alice Feeney novel?

There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.

When a woman is murdered in Blackdown, a quintessentially British village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation. Someone isn’t telling the truth, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.

His & Hers is a twisty, smart, psychological thriller. A gripping tale of suspense, told by expertly-drawn narrators that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

Yeah. The TV version takes place in Georgia.

I would have appreciated understanding how two sisters became sociopaths.

What was with showing Anna had a big sore or rotten tooth in the very first episode? They never mentioned it again. So disjointed and stupid.

And then the episode where she races to Atlanta to substitute for Lexy who hadn’t shown up - Lexy shows up at the last minute making Anna leave in embarrassment and fury. The next episode shows Anna talking happily with her producer about something. It made no sense.

And the episode where the cameraman is driving forever to get to the lake house - but when Anna calls Jack in a panic to come there, he appears within minutes. GAAAAHHHH!!

So many inconsistencies.

IDK- I abandoned it. Sounds like Anna has a sister name Lexy and they're both POS. What a surprise? So they are the killers. Whew saved me time. I actually don't even know who was killed.

The teens were all sociopaths but Anna. Andrea may have been, but not enough info to know. She may have just been a run-of-the-mill bully. I think they changed Andrea's death from the book. I *hated* the representation of the female characters in this series. They had no dimension, just crude caricatures other than Anna.

Did they ever indicate why the cameraman was cheating on his wife?

No, Anna doesn't have a sister. She's the main character. Lexie is the blonde anchor who replaced her.

I liked it, but I do have similar questions as pps with some of the holes. I had it on all day in the background so I may not have been paying super close attention and missed things.

How did Cat/lexy kill her sister? Did she tamper with the inhaler or something?

The blackmail was not very clear here. Why the friends would wait 10 years to blackmail her over this? Why were Anna/Richard together in the first place? I want to know more about Lexy - did she stalk anna and get a job at the same place? Doubt it's coincidence.

I loved the ending though. I paused the show after lexy got shot and was like "wow, there's still 25m left, wonder what's gonna happen". I loved the twist, even though I had sort of guessed it earlier. I assumed she did have dementia and did it and just didnt remember, not that she was faking it entirely though. I also guessed lexy/cat, but I actually thought it was Anna + Cat doing the killings together.
