A Messy Start: What's Wrong with 'His & Hers'?

A Messy Start

The show 'His & Hers' begins with a flurry of confusion. Anna Andrews, a news reporter, is found in a disheveled apartment, drinking wine straight from the bottle. She then heads to her old job, only to discover that her position has been filled by someone else.

Meanwhile, Jack Harper, a police detective, is called to investigate a murder in a nearby town.

Connections and Revelations

The show takes its time to unravel the connections between the main characters. Anna and Jack share a history, and it's revealed that Jack and Zoe, the mother of the child he was playing with, are siblings.

A heavy plot point is introduced: Anna and Jack lost a baby, a trope common in many dramas.

Pacing and Dialogue Issues

The slow pacing and lack of suspense make it difficult to stay engaged. The dialogue often falls into clichés, with lines like "The killer could be with us in this very room" delivered without any irony.

The show also suffers from a lack of quality control, with plot holes and scenes that don't make sense.

Strengths Amidst Flaws

Despite its shortcomings, the show has some strong moments. The way it establishes the characters' connections to the murder victim, Rachel Hopkins, is well-executed and adds depth to the story. However, these moments are not enough to save the show from its many problems.
