The Perfect Couple | Spoiler Review & Recap | Netflix

[@kaylonbrown314]

Hold up, the detectives were really good actors

[@Rickety_Cricket]

I agree!

[@SteveVarleyShow]

hey power to you!

[@rf03-f1w]

You are spot on about the writing, casting and soap opera overtones. The best part about the production was the set design, IMO. Great review-- thank you!

[@SteveVarleyShow]

thank you :)

[@pamelaboden]

I thought it was all good fun. I didn’t take anything seriously. I loved the TikTok dance at the beginning of each episode. Yes, it was a whodunnit but I didn’t care who did it. It was entertaining just to be a fly on the wall. I’ll save my criticism and cynicism for Handmaids Tale.

[@jadacampbell9331]

Exactly 💯

[@SteveVarleyShow]

hahah fair!

[@Emjay.d]

I had the same soap opera vibes! The way dark music starts playing are the characters look off into the distance and the camera zooms in!! I really liked the show, but it was definitely very soapy.

For a minute I thought the father of Isabelle's baby was going to be Tag.

[@claudiaenriquez73]

Kidmans accent changing all the time he me confused

[@jochenstossberg5427]

Why was that? Her changing accent is explained in the show - or haven't you watched it??

[@PassiveAgressive319]

It was great soap opera schlock. Loved it and the opening sequence was great

[@Jessedessie]

For some reason i was convinced Amelia was just acting concerned and it was her who did it. Something about her seeking out the cops often to point the finger at others concerned me. Low- key dissapointed with the motive. Abby could have just as easily sneaked an abortion pill rather than a sedative in Merrits drink and caused a misscarrige. It's not like Abby can't get her hands on the abortion pill and you can't detect the pill since it contains natural hormones so she would have gotten away with it

[@jadacampbell9331]

I wondered this too about Amelia and everyone else. Twists are challenging to pull off nowadays. This really doesn't do this as everyone looks guilty. In the end, Abigail being the one makes sense. Even though there are clichés, the writing provides thematic continuity

[@jochenstossberg5427]

I think you've missed the point of the story. Totally.

[@SteveVarleyShow]

fair points!

[@amandab4725]

Couldn’t agree more on this review! Spot on

[@llamaloop]

I've read the book and thought this was an improvement because it added more of a dark comedy element. I liked Eve Hewson in Bad Sisters but she kind of fell flat for me here, I would have liked to have actually seen her and Meghann Fahy switch roles since Fahy is being a bit typecast here and I think she has more range. Nicole Kidman's performance also didn't work for me due to her ever changing accent and flat expressions. Reynor and Fanning were the best part, they brought a hilarious campiness that felt intentional (unlike some other parts of the show).

[@hildevongruning7474]

So on point! It was on the nose at times. Also, Eve Hewson was great in The Knick.

[@jochenstossberg5427]

It's a slick, polished family drama with a clever mystery attached. All the cast are terrific, the location is gorgeous, and it's also a lot of fun. Very entertaining.

[@SteveVarleyShow]

polished?! no way!

[@PassiveAgressive319]

2:12 yeah, everyone has their backstories except Abby. I was also conflicted because I thought she was a red herring ie too obvious. and then I thought, why cast Dakota Fanning if she’s not gonna do anything….? So yeah, a lot of back and forth in my mind😅

[@kelseymaher1786]

Please review Kaos! It was so engaging- like Romeo + Juliet.

[@SteveVarleyShow]

I gotta check it out!

[@lydiaquinn2892]

I’m right there with you! I gave it a 7.5 but I was happily entertained just the same. A bit light and too soapy but fun. I did really like the female detective - thought she was great and I like Michael Beech as the me detective but it wasn’t a standout role. I agree with just about every thing you said. Great review!

[@jadacampbell9331]

Paula from crazy ex gf

[@SteveVarleyShow]

yay great comment and happy you watched Lydia

[@loladiaz3534]

Did you see Bono’s daughter in Behind her eyes ??

[@SteveVarleyShow]

never seen it!

[@loladiaz3534]

@@SteveVarleyShow you must. It’s very hard to guess what’s goin on

[@silviaetna9874]

Yes but her best work is based sisters . That is great actually! This was watchable

[@bjmurray1842]

I'm still confused about the ALMOST sex scene with Amelia and Benjy. They are hot and heavy, but then she gets on all fours, he freezes, and then they just stop, with Amelia being frustrated, I thought it might have been an idea that Benjy was somehow? Gay? In love with Shooter? What did I miss?

[@jochenstossberg5427]

I think you missed the point - yes.

[@Maggie-jk8lc]

He tried to turn the vibe from sexual to romantic by turning her over, trying to enforce eye contact. She's frustrated and gets dressed complaining about how 'perfect' he is. Basically signifying he's more in love with her than she is with him.

[@mapletree3434]

I thought the dance was quite ambivalent... It's fun, but ominous. I experienced it that way. The cast talks about having fun, but the director said it came from dance in nightmare sequence. The nightmare sequence wasn't shoot, but the dance part of it was. It totally gave me those vibe! To jolly to be real. Well...that's the feeling I got. Overall, I found the show more interesting. I didn't think that sooo many things are grating. I understand the criticisms though. p. s. That final cut dance was grating, indeed.

[@SteveVarleyShow]

hahah thanks for sharing!

[@loladiaz3534]

I loved the dance !!!

[@SteveVarleyShow]

to each their own LOLOL

[@silviaetna9874]

A Bit late for this but still want to give you my opinions absolutely watchable but also forgettable … for me a couple of days of entertainment but nothing more. Enjoyed some of the performances especially from the”guilty couple”. Although they were all guilty about something… I see you are all hating on the dance scene but I think it is a parody. Insta and tic tic are full of these dances at big weddings. And they do it for real and believe in them so I found it a sarcastic parody .

[@beardedringo5151]

Too many bad reviews for me to even try. Seems like 90% of netflixs shows and movies are terrible. Plus nicole kidmans plastic surgery is so distracting to me now

[@ldydyk]

You are an easy marker. 6/10 max

[@Betcaligarcia]

I sort of watched this show slept through most of it and fast forward through the end ! I don’t know what was worse the acting or the casting ? The AI who obviously wrote the script! Or the Mickey Mouse Bollywood dance at beginning ! Every other word was F😡🤬💩 Or ing! Terrible show

[@ruskiexpatsreviews2683]

Such Awull series ! Terrible acting!
