It’s almost impossible to resist bingeing the entirety of this classy detective drama set around a posh wedding in Nantucket. It’s a glorious, perfectly paced delight
It’s gorgeous to look at, it stars a 4,000-bedroom mansion on a beautiful stretch of US coastline and it’s packed with lavish lifestyles funded by fifth-generational wealth. There are cashmere knits in impractical colours, plus more beautiful coastline, a murder that almost everyone in the vicinity had a motive to carry out – and did I mention the beautiful coastline?
We can only be in the presence of Nicole Kidman’s latest vehicle. This time, it’s called The Perfect Couple, but you can think of it as Big Little Lies relocated from Monterey, California, to Nantucket, Massachusetts. Or as The Undoing with plot. Or as Nine Perfect Strangers, but not bonkers. It is also, as any luxe murder-mystery is these days, part The White Lotus – which Kidman wasn’t in, but who can quite remember?
