Best for: Fans of Gone Girl, The Affair, or any story about unreliable narrators and relationship mysteries.
Skip if: You need clear answers and satisfying closure. This show lives in ambiguity.
Binge or weekly? Perfect for binging—6 episodes, each ending on a hook that demands the next.
What It's About (No Spoilers)
Jack and Emma are married. Something happened on a specific night. Now they're in separate interrogation rooms telling completely different stories about their relationship and that night.
The show alternates between "His" version and "Her" version of the same events. Same dinner party—different conversations. Same argument—different words. Same marriage—different truths.
Your job as a viewer is to figure out who's lying. Or if anyone is. Or if "lying" is even the right word for what happens when two people remember the same event differently.
