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.
You're welcome! I'm glad to save someone from spending more time on this show.
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.
I would have appreciated understanding how two sisters became sociopaths.
What two sisters?
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.

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.
