The Perfect Couple

[sleepwithblanket]

Is anyone watching? New series with Nicole Kidman?

Get off the thread. You have nothing worth reading to contribute.

Yes, who was this?

Tried Googling but didn't come up with anything other than the fact the cast were very unsure about the dance thing and everyone was on the phone to their agents!

Until it proved to be so successful and then everybody loved doing it of course!

I thought it was rubbish. Had been recommended and I assumed it would be dark and tense given the premise and being under house arrest together. Honestly more believable characters and plot in a Cluedo set.
The writing and direction were so bad the actors; all of whom were individually good, couldn’t salvage it for me.

NK looks like a thunderbird puppet with the plastic face and bad wig

And the accent....what is that?

Honestly more believable characters and plot in a Cluedo set

That's it! NK looks like Miss Scarlet!

Isabelle Adjani is 69! No 69 year old has skin like glass! 🤣
She was in a relationship and had a child with Danie Day Lewis back in the day.

Isabelle Adjani is 69! No 69 year old has skin like glass!

Wow, I thought she was early 30s!

God this was absolute tosh. Like a poor man's Succession or White Lotus, and with some of the same actors. And yes, I know I could have stopped watching it! I thought Nicole Kidman's face was bad until I saw Isabelle Adjani looking like a demented waxwork. Both with terrible Malibu Barbie wigs.

So many frankly unbelievable and poorly written scenes
The idea that 3 hot women want to bed bald hairy Liev Schreiber. Yes, he's rich but still....
Benji seemed to be completely uninterested in the entire shenanigans, like he was in a different show.
Likewise Shooter was attractive but completely dispensable.
The cops allowing Greer to traipse in and out
The very idea that Greer would tell the whole world she was an escort
What was that ridiculous nonsense with the brother and the mafia and the loan
Eve Hewson looked strangely puffy and unkempt; is she pregnant?

I did enjoy the house porn and Dakota Fanning. She brought a little sauce to the whole thing and had the best lines

To everyone wondering about NK's face - she's had lots of work done but on top of that, there are actors who have digital airbrushing written into their contracts. Here is one such company that offers this post production service: Here Look at her face. No one has zero pores. Her skin has had a digital filter applied over the top. So wear your sunscreen and drink water, but don't go crazy wondering how to look like NK because not even NK looks like NK.

Her older son is in his mid 40s!

I didn't realise she was almost 70 either, but I guess if you think of how long she's been around, she'd have be about that age. I don't think she looks young. She just sort of looks ageless, but not in a good way. Plastic surgery doesn't make you look 'young'. It just makes you look like you've had plastic surgery.

Her strange round eyes - like a kewpie doll.

I didn't understand how Tag was a DILF

That was the most unbelievable part of the whole thing. I don't find Liev Schreiber entirely unattractive, but not in a DILF kind of way. He was miscast. The way 4 women, in fact nearly all the women, were falling all over him! And apparently he didn't even have any money.

I am also so tired of seeing NK teamed with men who cannot be arsed to even use moisturiser or shave. I felt the same way when I saw her playing Hugh Grant's wife in that thriller which I forget the name of. He looked like her dad.

I was freaked out by the eyes too. She's always had quite hooded eyes, but here she had big round eyes like marbles. I'm not sure if that is the result of (another?) eye lift or the digital airbrushing mentioned above. Possibly both?

Well I never...

It was tosh, but enjoyable tosh, I loved it.
Sometimes you need a bit of lowbrow rubbish to take you away from the cares of the world.

@charlotterumpling. Have you seen Rupert Murdoch? Elon Musk? Other ageing megabucks?There will be queues of women lining up for them.

Yes, of course, but Tag wasn't Murdoch. He didn't even have his own money. It was all Greer's.

But only he and Greer knew that, not the grasping women. And even without his own money, he managed to bung the girlfriend a $20k bracelet. 'It's all about the optics'.

Great fun.
Agatha Christie in Nantucket.
Loved loved the dancing.
NK good acting.

I've just started watching so won't go too far in to the threads but never mind Nicole's face...Isabelle Adjani's face!! WTF if it's pulled any tighter it will snap 😂She's 69 ffs!

And Amelia, that's Bono's daughter

Her borrowing 300K from shooter made no sense considering the wedding probably cost more than that. I did enjoy it and the pace was good. I like Eve Heuston, shes a good actress and has an untouched face and body that is refreshing. I usually can't watch anything with NK but at least she didn't do that whispering thing she does in absolutely everything now

Isabelle Adjani was absolutely exquisite when she was younger. IMO she was one of the most beautiful film actresses. Ageing must be difficult when everyone judges your ageing face with your well documented youthful beauty.

I agree about Isabelle Adjani being so so beautiful. I still think of her in Queen Margot. I didn't recognise her in this series (just finished it)

I mean it was crap really - it is supposed to be crap.

I felt bad for Liev Schreiber - I loved him in Spotlight so hate to see him in such a bad series - but why am I bothering to feel bad? he is making out like a bandit in paychecks.

The trust thing was a big plot hole. People with that kind of money and those kind of places on Nantucket (even if the income fueling it came from the wife) don't have simple trusts that end when the last child of a generation hits 18. They have trusts that last forever.

@workshy46 I assumed it was so her husband/accountant did not see £300k being spent and ask questions. But agree to people like them it would be like spending £100
