Netflix has just added a very fun new mystery thriller series

The show comes from the director of The Night Manager and The Undoing.

In the Netflix original show, based on the novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand, Kidman plays Greer Garrison Winbury - a famous novelist and the matriarch of the extremely wealthy Winbury family.

With her son Benji (Billy Howle, On Chesil Beach) about to marry the working class Amelia (Eve Hewson, Bad Sisters), dozens gather at the Winbury's luxurious Nantucket home for the wedding celebrations.

When one of those in attendance is found dead, however, everyone is a suspect.

Directed in its entirety by the great Susanne Bier (The Night Manager, The Undoing), The Perfect Couple's ensemble cast also features Dakota Fanning (Ripley), Donna Lynne Champlin (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Isabelle Adjani (Possession), Ishaan Khattar (Don't Look Up), Jack Reynor (Sing Street), Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus), Michael Beach (Waiting to Exhale) and Sam Nivola (Eileen).

Having seen the first three episodes of six, JOE can confirm that the Netflix series continues Kidman's trend of starring in immensely watchable mystery shows following Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers and The Undoing.

While The Perfect Couple perhaps lacks the depth of those earlier series, it is still very much worth checking out thanks to its fine cast, its beautiful setting, its darkly comic script filled with gossip and catty remarks and its genuinely gripping whodunnit story.

You can read some other positive reviews for the show right here:

El Español: "A very good mystery with a gorgeous cast, in a setting that will make you believe that summer will never end... If you like Big Little Lies, The White Lotus, and The Undoing, this will be your new obsession."

Entertainment Weekly: "Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestseller and adapted for the screen by Jenna Lamia, this arch and at times outlandish miniseries delivers the cheap and tasty thrills of a beach read on a lavish, prestige-streamer budget."

The Guardian: "If there is anyone who can resist bingeing all six episodes once they have started, I will eat a fruit basket."

All six episodes of The Perfect Couple are streaming on Netflix right now.
