Netflix's The Perfect Couple Premieres September 5

Netflix's upcoming mystery drama, 'The Perfect Couple,' stars Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber and is set to premiere on September 5. The series, adapted from Elin Hilderbrand's bestselling novel, follows Amelia Sacks as she prepares to marry into a wealthy Nantucket family, only for the wedding plans to unravel when a body washes ashore. Early reviews of the show are mixed, with one critic calling it 'ludicrously good' while others deem it 'daft' and 'derivative.' The Guardian's Lucy Mangan praised its engaging plot and pacing, comparing it favorably to shows like 'The White Lotus,' while The Independent criticized its failure to deliver on potential satire. The series is directed by Susanne Bier, with Jenna Lamia serving as showrunner. Despite its star-studded cast, the project has garnered surprisingly little buzz leading up to its release.
