Netflix leaves viewers ‘jaw on floor’ over ending to new must-watch series

Netflix subscribers have been urged to check out a must-watch series that has just been added to the streaming platform – and everyone who has seen it says you won’t regret it

Netflix users have been left with their ‘jaws on the floor’ after watching the streaming platform’s new must-watch show. Film buff Eccy Review, who shares updates about new TV shows and movies on his social media channels, has shared his shock over the show His & Hers.

Added to the platform on January 8, subscribers have been binge-watching the show and sharing their thoughts online. Eccy Reviews said: “Now, you need to be checking out this show on Netflix. It’s a dark, gritty crime thriller which I absolutely love and it doesn’t let me down whatsoever.

“I loved every single second of this show and I binged the entire series in one sitting. When it came to the last episode, my jaw was on the floor.”

His & Hers follows a journalist who investigates a murder in her hometown, clashing with a suspicious detective. The IMDb storyline reads: “Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a journalist.

“But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega, the sleepy town where she grew up, Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers.

“Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: his and hers, which means someone is always lying.”

Commenting on his post, one user said: “Gonna start watching it today.” Another user added: “His & Hers on Netflix is fire.” A third user said: “Sorry to be smug but I’d worked it out half-way through!”

Reviewing the series on IMDb, one user said: “Okay, the acting was strong, overall everything was on point but maybe slow. I believed I knew who was the killer, and I was like – okay too predictable, who made this?

“The ending was brilliant, and I will stop here. I wanted to give a five but now it is good eight.

“Also, I hated every character of Rachel, Helen, Catherine, and also Zoe. Bunch of violent, complex brats and women they were, they disgusted me.”

Another added: “I have been excitedly awaiting this series since I read the book about a year ago. The book was amazing so I had high hopes for this adaptation.

“As book adaptations go, this is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Naturally there are some differences but knowing the book, these changes do make sense as TV shows cannot give as much of a character background or insight as a book can.

“The acting was superb, naturally I knew who the killer was but I think this show did a good job of keeping viewers guessing and providing multiple suspects. My only real complaint is that the final showdown wasn’t as dramatic or lengthy as in a book, and I felt this was over too quickly in the TV show.

“It would have been more dramatic to extend it a bit, as I felt there was all this suspense and build up to that moment and then it was over in a flash. The bottom line is, I highly recommend watching this series, and I absolutely recommend reading the original book.”

‘Must-watch’ Netflix thriller that Kate Middleton loves has 92% Rotten Tomatoes score

From Game of Thrones to Killing Eve, the Prince and Princess of Wales are big fans of TV – but one 92% rated espionage thriller has captured Princess Catherine’s attention

As the winter chill sets in, many of us are opting for cosy nights in front of the telly rather than braving the cold outdoors, and seems likely that Prince William and Kate Middleton are dooing something similar.

While Royal enthusiasts eagerly anticipate more appearances from the Prince and Princess of Wales, particularly as she marks a year of cancer remission this month, it’s likely that Catherine will be looking forward to some downtime at home.

However, as the Princess of Wales rings in her 44th birthday, there’s a bit of a dampener – no confirmed release date for the second series of one of her favourite TV shows, a spy thriller boasting an impressive 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Black Doves, a gripping espionage series masterminded by Joe Barton for Netflix, was one of December 2024’s standout hits and was greenlit for a second series before its inaugural season had even concluded.

The series, starring big names like Keira Knightley, Ben Wishaw, and Sarah Lancashire, revolves around a group of freelance spies whose cover is threatened. Black Doves zeroes in on undercover agent Helen Webb, portrayed by Oscar nominee Kiera Knightley, who finds her covert identity at risk after her lover is killed by figures within London’s criminal underworld.

The programme captivated audiences, with one typical response online stating: “I thought Black Doves on Netflix was pretty good and entertaining. Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw are great as a team of clandestine spies and assassins. Absolutely deserves the second season. Can’t wait.”

Another viewer gushed: “Black Doves was fantastic television. So damn good! !” A third added: “If you love a British political/espionage thriller, Black Doves is a masterpiece. Slick script, superb characters, smashing storyline. Heavy on irony and good old fashioned violence.”

This marks another occasion where William and Kate have revealed their television tastes. During a trip to the BAFTA offices in central London, where he discovered details about a bursary granted in his honour, William admitted his passion for the Jason Bourne series.

When encountering Paul Greengrass, who helmed three of the six films, William enthusiastically enquired “another Bourne, another Bourne”. The filmmaker allegedly replied with chuckling and a head shake.

Swiss filmmaker Edward Berger was linked to the project for several months but subsequently declared “It’s really not clear whether… I’m doing that film or not”. Currently, the prospects for William’s cherished Bourne franchise appear uncertain.

Another William and Catherine favourite facing an unclear future is the BBC’s hit series Killing Eve, starring Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh. During a 2019 visit to a BAFTA exhibition, William reportedly confessed his fondness for the series.

Show producer Sally Woodward Gentle and costume designer Phoebe de Gaye revealed that the prince “apparently… has watched it all”.

“He [Prince William] said he loved it. He talked about the dark humour of it, and Jodie [Comer] and Sandra [Oh], how amazing they both are. And he talked about the humour you get through the costumes, which is what Phoebe is so clever at,” Gentle disclosed.

Whilst the programme concluded with its fourth series in 2022, persistent speculation continues about a potential spin-off, possibly centred on the early years of Fiona Shaw’s character, Carolyn Martens.

Prince William has revealed that he and Kate, 42, were equally keen on watching episodes of Game of Thrones. The Royal pair even told actor Tom Wlaschiha, famous for playing Jaquan H’ghar in the drama, that they have “watched every series”.

Speaking on BBC Radio 1 in 2017, William declared their passion for the programme, describing them as “big fans” and advising: “You should definitely watch Game of Thrones, that’s worth watching.”

Beyond television, Prince William is recognised for his love of music, an interest he shares with his children, George and Charlotte. He disclosed on Apple’s Time To Walk podcast in December 2023 that the youngsters frequently bicker over song choices during their morning routines.

The musical inclinations of the Wales family were put in the spotlight when William, accompanied by Charlotte and George, made international headlines after snapping a selfie with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Marking his 42nd birthday, the future monarch was spotted having a grand time at Swift’s concert at Wembley Stadium with his children.

The 2021 thriller is said to have a perfect balance of scary and shocking moments

An ‘underrated’ 2021 thriller that you probably missed is now available to stream on Prime Video.

The Girl Who Got Away (or Mother) didn’t gain much traction when it premiered but it sounds perfect for weekend viewing.

Written and directed by Michael Morrissey, the psychological horror centres on serial kidnapper and murderer Elizabeth Caulfield, who is imprisoned for abducting and murdering young girls she pretended were her daughters.

She had five victims, but one called Christina managed to escape. Twenty years on from her crimes, Elizabeth breaks out of prison to hunt down her only liberated victim. But Christina’s own dark past starts to unravel as her kidnapper tracks her down.

American actress Lexi Johnson leads the cast as Christina, with Nigerian-British actor Chukwudi Iwuji as local police officer Jamie. They are joined by The Matrix alum Kaye Tuckerman who plays the story’s villain, Elizabeth.

Although the mystery thriller didn’t reach wide audiences upon its debut, it still earned impressive ratings from audiences. Rotten Tomatoes viewers awarded it an 87% score.

One Google reviewer shared their five-star verdict, writing: “A perfect dose of scary and shock. An interesting theme with a unique plot. Good strong acting. I felt the latter half slipped through quickly with so many revelations coming to light suddenly. But must say this is an underrated gem.”

While an IMDb user praised: “Was pleasantly surprised that what I thought was happening was close but the twists left me guessing until the very end. A few jump scares but builds a good storyline and the thriller/psychological terror is more the backburn to that. Strong cast performances.”

And a third fan posted: “Me and my wifey really liked this movie and were never bored I recommend it and don’t understand the negative reviews.”

This moviegoer was responding to a barrage of brutal reviews that the thriller also suffered. While some dubbed it a ‘must-watch’ others were less than impressed.

“Predictable & bordering on ridiculous,” penned one, with another slamming: “Don’t bother [watching]. It’s not even bad enough to be good.”

Those keen to form their own opinions can stream The Girl Who Got Away now on Prime Video.
