Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Where The Perfect Couple goes wrong -- and where White Lotus succeeded -- is assuming its audience is watching. Instead, everything of note is spelled out so attention to the characters themselves feels secondary Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Vinson Cunningham The New Yorker Kidman knowingly symbolizes this whole world of televisual interest in the rich. She’s got a face like one of the slinkier, sexier, more elusive species of big cat—a puma, say, or a lynx—one of those vague, quick, elegant eminences... Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine You’d have to be a bigger snob than me to resist the brain-emptying pleasures of The Perfect Couple. Not every show has to be a masterpiece to be a good time, nor does being a great actor require career-long genuflection at the altar of cinema... Sep 19, 2024 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz It’s a kind of The White Lotus-meets-The Affair, Bier making terrific use of the island setting, opulent surrounds and fractured narrative to portray a clash of cultures and a family lousy in secrets and lies. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene There are way too many superfluous subplots, digressions, red herrings and narrative dead ends. For much of the series I felt I was treading water… getting in my exercise but going nowhere. Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Summer may be over, but if you haven’t already indulged, The Perfect Couple can give you one last sunburned, overserved, vacation-season contact high.

Alexander M I dont know wether the characters are unlikeable because of the way they were written, or the way the actors performed them. I can't sympathize with a single person in the show, they are all dumb, spite- and wilful without really any positive character traits. And a show that nearly completely focuses on the relationships between characters falls apart for me when I dont like any of the characters and don't root for anyone. Beside the point, they just don't act believable... I hope in the book, they were more fleshed out but in the show just barely any reaction makes sense... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Carlos T Série: Casal Perfeito Assistido: 27-01-25 Elenco: @nicolekidman @lievschreiber @evehewson @dakotafanning @meghannfahy @ishaanktter @isabelleadjaniofficiel Billy Howle, @tommyflanaganofficial @samnivola @jack_reynor Modelo: #policial #detetive Duração: 6 Capitulos Ano: 2024 Minha opinião: Uma série que poderia ser em um filme de 1:30 h á 2 hs. Como Sherlock Holmes, A Morte no Nilo, Assassinato Oriente Express, Enola Holmes, Ace Ventura, Mistério em Paris, Glass Onion, Millennium,... É uma série que te leva a suspeitar de todo que possa ter cometido o assassinato de Merritt (Fahy). E as suspeitas passa por todos: 1º amante Tag (Liev), de sua esposa Greer (Kidman), de seu irmão que a família não conhecia Broderick (Flanagan) que tem antecedentes suspeito, com Thomas (Reynor) que é filho de Tag e Greer e do outro filho caçula Will (Nivola) e do Billy (Howle) que é noivo de Amélia (Hewson) que é amiga de Merritt que a convidou para o casamento e tudo isso acontece nas véspera do casamento. E temos ainda como suspeita Isabel (Adjani) uma francesa coroa que faz sexo com todos. E mais mostrando que o casal que se dizia perfeita, tem muita sujeira, falidos, adúlteros, mentirosos, vivem de aparência,.... E assim a cada capitulo além de te jogar a suspeitar de cada um ao estilo Hercule Poriot, Benoit Blanc, Holmes. Aquele que parece mais obvia, não é. Quem ninguém imaginava é a verdadeira assassina. Não darei spoiler aqui. Roteiro e enredo creio que fosse um filme seria melhor. Creio que colocaram muitos exageros no filme que não seria desnecessário. A pior atuação é de Eve Hewson, poderiam ter selecionado outra atriz. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra opção. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review C V Started off strong, but the plot took a real unexpectedly humerous turn toward the end. Don't waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Koo K Murder mystery worth the watch. I haven't read the book though, so cannot compare, but it seems this series is better without having read it. It thought the characters were interesting, Nicole Kidman was fabulous. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Ted B 3.5 stars; A fairly good murder mystery. The theme focuses more on the decadence of the rich elite. There were enough twists and turns in the plot to keep you coming back for the next episode of this miniseries. Fortunately, it is a one-season series; the ending came at the right point. If it had lasted any longer, it would have become boring. There was only so much that could be done with this plot. Nicole Kidman pretty well stole the show. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Reem J I loved it! Kept me on edge. It is funny, mysterious, and light at the same time. Definitely worth the binge. The characters have unique personalities and the underlying message of the show is pretty relatable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
