O Casal Perfeito

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.

The casting is perfect, isn't it? You've got Nicole Kidman, the seasoned pro who can carry just about anything. Dakota Fanning, all talent and precision, and then Meghann Fahy, still riding that wave from "White Lotus." Together, they pull in the whodunit crowd, no question. The backdrop? Gorgeous. And that simmering disdain for the filthy rich? Yeah, that hooks you in too, at first.

But here's the thing - beneath that glossy surface, it starts to wear thin. The endless closeups, the subplots that vanish without a trace, those misdirections that turn out to be... well, nothing. It's like you're being led around in circles, waiting for something with depth, something that'll hit hard. Instead, you're left with a hollow echo where there should've been a punch.

Kidman, Fanning, and Fahy? Sure, they shine. They always do. But the material? It just doesn't rise to their level. By the end, that big reveal you've been waiting for? Yeah, you probably saw it coming from a mile away. And the worst part? You're left thinking it could've been more - should've been more.

I just finished binging The Perfect Couple and have to say that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I've heard mixed reviews about, some people love it and some not so much. I like a good whodunit series and this was only 6 episodes long so I thought what the heck. It also has an amazing cast led by Liev Schreiber, Nicole Kidman, Eve Hewson, Jack Reynor, Dakota Fanning, Billy Howie, Meghann Fahy, etc. That cast alone makes this series worth trying. It has The White Lotus feel to it, especially with how beautiful it's shot. This isn't a masterpiece by any means but if you just want to turn your brain off and enjoy a good whodunit series then give this a try...you won't be disappointed.

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.

Great cast but I feel like the show was confused with its identity the entire time. Is it a thriller? A classic whodunnit? A dramedy? The suspense was premature at best and the humor felt misplaced. Some scenes also felt out of place, and left me quite confused as to why they were included in the first place. Take the cake scene between the brothers for example - what was the point of that? Slapstick comedy? I doubt anyone laughed. A cute heartfelt moment showing playfulness between brothers? Lacked that emotion. A moment showing disdain, competition, or genuine anger between the brothers? It completely lacked depth.

Nicole Kidman is a class act but this show was one-dimensional and not well thought out. Felt almost like a high school project. Just compare it to Big Little Lies and you'll see the stark diffeence.
