As one of the greatest minds of our time once said: Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
The place in question here is the lush and moneyed Nantucket in The Perfect Couple, the latest Nicole Kidman “Rich Lady on a Beach” glossy mini-series that just hit Netflix. But as every “eat the rich” story of the last few years has taught us—from The White Lotus to Saltburn—the gilded veneer of the super-wealthy is often just one tragedy away from chipping.
Susanne Bier’s series introduces us to the Winburys, led by matriarch Greer and husband Tag. Before their son’s wedding, a murder occurs, turning everyone on the guest list into suspects. Similar to “The White Lotus” with shared cast member Meghann Fahy.
At just six episodes, The Perfect Couple doesn’t take long to fling us into the scandalous debauchery of the mega-loaded and just how far they’d go to keep their business behind their automatic estate gates. Let’s break down its twists and turns.
What happened? Netflix’s The Perfect Couple
A good murder mystery needs, well, a murder. Or at least a very suspicious death that has enough suspicion around it to get fingers pointing.
In The Perfect Couple, Fahy, known for her surprising moves in The White Lotus, takes on the role of Merritt Monaco, an Instagram influencer and Amelia’s Maid of Honour, facing more challenges this time.
At the first episode’s end, we discover that Merritt, found in the water, likely met foul play due to barbiturates and her pregnancy after her affair with Tag was revealed.
