Riding off the coattails of shows like Big Little Lies, The Perfect Couple, out on Netflix now, has all the makings of a hit on paper. The series, like so many others before it, is adapted from a bestselling novel, in this case by popular writer Elin Hilderbrand who’s known for her Nantucket-set beach reads. The show is set during the lavish wedding weekend of working-class Amelia (Bad Sisters’ Eve Hewson) to privileged Benji (Billy Howle), the middle son of a wealthy British novelist, but the celebration is interrupted when a dead body turns up on the beach the morning of the nuptials. The cherry on top of the escapist sundae? The high-profile ensemble cast includes Dakota Fanning, Liev Schreiber, Meghann Fahy, and, most importantly, Nicole Kidman, who plays Benji’s mother, Greer Garrison Winbury. Based on this information alone, The Perfect Couple has all the potential for a new classic to the genre. If only.
