I would have enjoyed this so much more if it had been labelled a comedy/dark comedy. I've read lots of books with similar plots and have enjoyed them but the tone in this show felt a little off from the start. Good actors were bad, performances were too big, etc. I thought it was just incredibly cheesy for the most part but by the end it's a clearly a full on satire. Keep this in mind and you might actually enjoy it, even if the overall direction doesn't quite get the tone right all the way through.
Not good enough that I'd seek out the book it's based on but a decent watch if you're in the mood for a cheesy show that doesn't take itself too seriously (and you can handle some bad accent work).

I genuinely struggled through most of it to pay attention. Most of the characters seemed lacking something or just too completely Cliche. Nicole Kidman did an excellent job at playing the stuck up/ up tight rich wife that rules every part of the families life. A lot of people said Liev Schreiber just phoned his performance in but I thought he played his roll extremely well. It boils down to a rich family murder mystery where the cops seem completely incompetent. It's only after politely asking each subject and literally taking their word for it do we FINALLY find out who the killer is, which is barely explained what the motive was.
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.

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.

- TriviaEverybody in the cast was upset when they learned they needed to do a dance sequence, with some cast members even calling their representatives to try to renegotiate. The only exception was Liev Schreiber, who was excited to do it.
