The Perfect Couple Netflix Series Review

The Perfect Couple is the brand new limited series on Netflix, and this is my official review and reaction. Leave your thoughts on this new show! This show stars Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning, and more. Amelia Sacks is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Her disapproving future mother-in-law, famous novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, has spared no expense in planning what promises to be the premiere wedding of the season — until a body turns up on the beach. As secrets come to light, the stage is set for a real-life investigation that feels plucked from the pages of one of Greer’s novels. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect.

I genuinely couldn't figure out if we were supposed to like Amelia or not. It was nice to see Dakota Fanning again. And Nicole Kidman's accent was almost as confusing as Moira Rose.

I stuck with it just to find out if they’d redeem it at the end. It was okay. The whole time I was thinking, how did this girl get cast as the lead? I didn’t get it. Then Wikipedia gave me the answer afterwards.

There were some things that made no sense. Like why would Amelia act so weird about seeing Shooter on the train years before if nothing actually happened between them? And why is the brother crashing the fan meet and greet and taken out by security if she had already helped him pay off his gambling debts? Those were both just to mess with us.

I love murder mystery/whodunit shows and movies, and so this series worked perfectly for me. I was hooked episode to episode, and the ending was really satisfying.

IMO: Good binge. Great show.

[nealsidhu]

It's a fun watch. If you like seeing murder mysteries and/or rich families, this is a good show for you.

Austin, you want a recommendation: “Terminator: Zero.” One of the best TV shows of 2024.

By the end, I honestly didn't care who did it. The acting was cool and the underlying humor kept me watching. The twists and turns out me in the mind of of the old ABC show Revenge. It was just okay. Great review once again, Austin!! #GeeSawThat 🤘🏿😀👍🏿

This show was a huge letdown. It tries to be too many things at once, and fails almost at every single one. It's all over the place while never really landing anywhere for more than a minute. The story is both too simple and too far-fetched, as if the writers didn't really know where they were going and made it up as they went.

I think Kidman's character was likeable, only when looking at her on a superficial level she seemed unlikable because people hate strong females. She truly cared for her children and I feel that objectively she did very little wrong. I felt that she was behaving quite reasonable through the entire thing and had a lot less contempt for people around her than some of the others. She supported her entire family financially and even emotionally, whereas her useless husband betrayed her, didn't care for any of his children and didn't even make money.

Austin, a recommendation that might pique your interest is a South Korean TV series called "Those Who Read the Hearts of Evil" (On Netflix where I have seen the series is titled "Through the Darkness"). It's basically South Korea's version of Mindhunter and it is impossible not to compare the two shows, but the Korean series is nothing to sneeze at as I found it really gripping and well executed, for the most part. If you can navigate through the characteristics of Korean filmmaking, I think you would enjoy this one.

It’s been years since I’ve been able to watch narcissist 100 Kidman as she just creeps me out. Thanks for the great review so I can let my mother know she might dig (though she thinks Kidman is gross too) as luvs Liev

[trudiehoward]

The only thing good about this was the dance routine title sequence! X

[gf-ejkw]

have you watch cobra kal series there a new season

[loladiaz]

There’s been a what whaaattt????

I enjoyed the series. Loved watching these rich folks struggle

[sebber]

I binged-watched it in three days. Even so I paid less attention as the story evolved, I feel cheated. It was unconvincing, boring and predictable.

[ktom]

For me this guy Austin is clueless. He doesn't like this and he thinks Dune 2 is a masterpiece... LOL on both counts.

[ziggy]

Remember when Nicole Kidman was one of the Queens of the Silver screen? Now, she’s the Queen of Netflix. That’s what streaming services do—swallow up great actors and turn them into meh actors.

[ktom]

A good show. Well written and looking good. A smart and modern take on Agatha Christie's crime novels.

[BobBobbidi]

Have you been watching Only Murders season 4?

[mashenka]

I hated the ending..wasn’t shocking enough…

[bestlexluthor]

Like the story idea but find the tone really cringey. I know it’s on purpose but I wish they used this cast to make a serious show
