It’s good to see Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson in a new drama. In “His & Hers” (Netflix, streaming), she’s a former Atlanta anchor who wants to get back in the biz by reporting on a murder in her home town. He plays a detective who thinks she may know too much about the case. Based on a novel by Alice Feeney, it has some weird turns and has the feel of a wanna-be HBO drama. Also in the cast: Pablo Schreiber and Poppy Liu.

Episodes will take on a network restraint, though — premiering at a given hour, with new shows running week by week.
That’s also the case for season four of “The Traitors” (Peacock, 9 p.m.) whose participants includes former cast members of “Survivor,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “Dancing With the Stars.” Among others. The ever=flamboyant Alan Cummings returns to host.
