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 Roxana Hadadi
New York Magazine/Vulture Allow me to surprise you, as The Perfect Couple
surprised me — because this show is wonderfully, preposterously hilarious. Sep
17, 2024 Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail The Perfect Couple doesn’t
reinvent the wheel, but it’ll certainly scratch an itch for whodunnit lovers.
Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com It is a soap opera
on steroids. Rated: 6/10 •  Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Anthony Morris ScreenHub
The point here is that there’s been a murder and a lot of juicy secrets are
going to come to light, not to let us in on the not-very secret secret that the
wealthy rarely deserve their ill-gotten gains Rated: 3.5/5 •  Sep 26, 2024 Full
Review Roger Moore Movie Nation A TV version of a bad “beach book,” making one
wish one had spent these six hours doing something else, preferably on a beach.
Rated: 1/4 •  Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert Z It would be great to see Ms. Kidman play a different role than the
"perfect" person with the smoothest skin, but luckily the show isn't about her.
It's about a poor girl caught in the crosshairs of greed. The show keeps you
guessing and that keeps you watching. They're not breaking new ground, but it is
diverting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review
Mehrnoosh M Generally, I enjoy this genre. The series reminded me of other shows
I've seen in 2024, and I find it intriguing how the cinema industry often
focuses on wealthy families, portraying them as having a dark side beneath their
beautiful and pristine exterior. This theme seems to echo a sort of common
philosophical critique of wealth and power. Returning to the story, the most
attractive part of the series for me was the revelation at the end. The
characters who appeared to be the least significant—the French woman and the
eldest son—turned out to be the most innocent. I found myself more sympathetic
towards them. Despite their flaws being as evident as those of the other
characters, their transparency made them more relatable and acceptable to me.
Additionally, the revelations made by the mother throughout the series improved
my perception of her character. I recommend watching this series and reflecting
on how it might influence your judgments in real life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • 
Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review micah c When I started this show I
wasn’t really feeling it. After each episode is continuously got better and I
was hooked. I enjoyed all of the cast and how they all played their parts well.
I think Dakota Fanning was my favorite in this show and it was a really good
watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review David
Lee K The story isn't making any sense from episode two. It seems that nobody
knew where to go with this script. The series starts reasonably okay, but with
every new episode the story and the characters become more ludicrous. After a
certain while you can only be annoyed or laugh uncontrollably with the
ridiculous plot twists. Another thing is: it doesn't seem to end, it goes on and
on and on... This is a complete waste of time, and I cannot believe the great
Susanne Bier was the director who made this crap. What a blemish on her career.

predictable and I thought it had a really good cast. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated
