The Perfect Couple

[sleepwithblanket]

Is anyone watching? New series with Nicole Kidman?

Yes I watched a few episodes last night
very confusing initially, as lots of characters but some great twists
saying no more so won’t spoil it for anyone

I watched the first one, half of the second one and all of the last one. I thought it was ok, nice to look at but very predictable.

I’m on the fourth one. Takes some concentrating to follow it but I’m enjoying the scenery and the sets of the house. Nicole’s very altered face is a tad distracting though.

I didn't understand the ending! Who killed Merritt? PM me if you don't want to post a spoiler.

Pm sent

Just finished. I thought it was good. Nicole Kidman looks a bit odd in it though. I didn’t really understand the ending in the zoo. Seemed a bit random

We’re halfway through episode 2, but finding it quite boring so far.

Finished it today. Thought it was meh. Quite forgettable.
Did enjoy D.Fanning performance though.

On episode 3.. her fiances dad is such a cliche, sick of this repeated storyline

Where's this showing?

I'm watching it all most finished it thought it was going to be a lot better than it's been considering some of the big names starring but I must admit I'm not enjoying it as I thought I would it's a bit dull at times and as others have said predictable.

@mum2jakie it's on Netflix

Thought it was enjoyable nonsense - Nicole Kidman's aesthetics work was distracting though.

I enjoyed it, it was a bit like white lotus

really interesting that some people found it hard to follow and others found it boring and predictable!

I'm nervous to join the thread as don't want to see any spoilers but yes OP I'm really enjoying it. I especially like the scenery and soundtrack. It's a totally different world to mine.

This ☝️ 😆😆

Yes. Better than I expected. I'm not a massive NK fan so almost didn't watch this but I'm enjoying it a lot. 2 more episodes to go

Kidman's still a great actor, it's a shame the industry made her feel like she needed all that work, and it would have been good if she had declined to oblige.
Re the program, agree some tropes are predictable (DILF rich bloke who loves his long suffering wife but can't keep his knob in his pants).
I feel the Benjy actor was badly cast, he didn't suit the role.
This is part of the 'Eat the rich' narrative, see Triangle if Sadness, White Lotus Hotel, where we enjoy the aesthetics of loaded people's lives, but want to see them suffer and observe what awful people they are.
Looking forward to last few episodes!

Saltburn is a perfect example of what you just said too if you haven't seen it.

Absolute garbage

Finished it, have to say I predicted the wrong suspect.

I enjoyed it. Plenty of plot twists to keep my interest plus a few loose ends. I did think that towards the end it was almost like a comedy when for the most part it had been played dead straight. Loved the dancing at the start of each episode.

Loved it and agree with @charabang, the dancing at the start of each episode was really fun. Nicole’s nose is distracting, her nostrils are uneven now.

It was enjoyable enough I thought

I watched the first 20 mins and gave up,I find her surgery so distracting now it spoils anything she's in for me.
