Finished watching The Perfect Couple on Netflix yesterday. Meh. The murder reveal at the end made sense, but the little bit “after 6 months” was a very weird catchup interaction between two characters.

Since it was based on a book, I thought that last scene maybe made more sense if you’d read the original source … except maybe not, as the murderer in the limited TV series is different than in the book ?!

Today, I finally figured out why The Perfect Couple felt familiar in a way …. it’s like the 2.5 star version of the 5 star Knives Out (common girl amongst rich eccentric family).

So, IMHO, watch Knives Out instead of The Perfect Couple - you’ll save 4 hours and get a much better story and more interesting characters.
