This star-studded crime series is Netflix subscribers’ new obsession. It’s the show you can’t miss right now.
You don’t know what to watch at the beginning of September? While waiting for the return of its big flagship programs, like Emily in Paris Or Arcane, Netflix has released a new mini-series that has aroused the curiosity of the streaming platform’s subscribers, and which has already accumulated 20 million views in one week. Breathtaking and composed of a star-studded cast, it can be binge-watched in just one weekend, ideal for those in a hurry.
The plot immerses Netflix subscribers in the heart of a wedding event, that of one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Everything seems perfect, until a body is discovered on the beach where the ceremony is taking place. Everyone is hiding secrets, and the facade gradually crumbles as everyone becomes a murder suspect. This series is A perfect couple.
Cluedo and Agatha Christie fans, this detective series will probably be for you. Who could have committed the crime, between the characters played by Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies), Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), Eve Hewson (Flora and Son), Billy Howle (The snake), Dakota Fanning (The War of the Worlds), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus), Ishaan Khattar (Beyond the Clouds), Jack Reynor (Midsommar) or Sam Nivola (Maestro) ? Unless the culprit is Isabelle Adjani, who plays a family friend?
On social media, many Netflix subscribers are already sharing their opinions on A perfect couplewhen latecomers say they are curious to discover it or are already won over by its offbeat opening credits. On the critics’ side, Le HuffPost hails “a thrilling Cluedo”, “paced in a Big Little Lies”when it comes, for the specialist magazine Première, to “the obsession with the weekend”, “which relies on its immense star power and a certain sense of irony” for a series “which should not be taken seriously”.
More measured, Ecran large considers that it is “a sub At Knives Out which doesn’t make sparks but doesn’t do any harm either”, when Le Point Pop judges that it “establishes itself as an effective series with many twists and turns” with “offbeat humor”, despite “a final result which lacks a little bit of originality”. The 6 episodes of A perfect coupleless than an hour long, are already available on Netflix.
