La pareja perfecta

Terrible plot, zero rhythm, police work so absurd it feels like a parody, and enough soap opera-level twists to make even telenovela writers confused. By the end of this "murder mystery," you're expecting Nicole Kidman to rip off her wig and dramatically reveal she's actually the long-lost brother of the bride's father.

By the time the grand finale rolls around and the murderer is revealed, you've stopped caring. So has the police. And the entire family, for that matter. Yet, I'm sure this will be the most-watched series of 2024-because viewers will hang on just to see how much worse it can get.

Rich people's hypocrite life. We've seen that more than enough.

Boring story, boring actors, except maybe Liev Schreiber. Aging well. Sadly the face of Nicole Kidman is completely motionless, that's boring and a bit creepy. Dakota Fanning is an so overrated actress she have only one face in every situation. Boring. (For Example Kidman has much more once upon a time.) Eve Hewson absolutely characterless. Booooring. The other guys too.

The Perfect Couple story, pictures, characters reminds me of Big Little Lies without its mystery, construction and good acting.

But I watch througt it so five stars. Maybe I am hypocrite too.

The critics have been cruel. The ratings are middling BUT they miss the point.

This is a typical Agatha Christie-esque who-dunnit.... take a group of people at a country house and have a dead body type of whodunnit.

So it becomes a sort of puzzle.

1. Attractive cast - check 2. Attractive locale - check 3. Characters with secrets - check 4. Characters with motive - check 5. Characters with opportunity - check 6. Murder victim who may or may not be a nice person - check 7. Big reveal at the end after assorted red herrings are resolved. - check

Now comes the hard part. Is it well done?

Actually I think it is. It does drag at little in the middle but the resolution works.

As for the cast. I think they all do quite well and Nicole Kidman whom I have never quite taken to actually surprises me. I usually find her cold but in this, at the end, I fully understood her character. Her much maligned accent actually makes sense in the circumstances.

Give it a try. It is not the greatest mystery ever but it is fun if you just go along for the ride.

This series is so bad. None of these people even seem like real human beings. Everyone is just literally screwing everyone else, either literally or figuratively. The dialogue is so incredibly superficial and contrived. Nicole Kidman looks like a freaking mannequin. Maybe the super-rich ARE reptilians! Because the way these people are portrayed is so odd. Dakota Fanning is way better than this, super disappointed in her even being a part of this train wreck. What kind of person forgives their fiancée for cheating on their wedding weekend. It's all so sick and so unbelievable. And what's with the stupid line dancing intro? Just AWFUL.

The Perfect Couple is about a young woman (Eve Hewson) who's about to marry into an extremely wealthy family in Nantucket until the shocking death of her maid of honor prevents the wedding from happening and makes every guest there a suspect while all their secrets come to light. What a follows is a fantastic murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. This probably isn't going to win any awards, maybe for the acting, but it's a guilty pleasure show that's worth the watch. Some people have said it's a little too soapy and while it is at times it's still very entertaining. There is plenty of mystery, tension, suspense, comedy and drama to make the six episodes fly by. I actually finished all 6 episodes in one day, that's how much I was hooked.
