It’s not every weekend that you need to dress up and head out to brunch or a beach club. Some weekends call for Deliveroo and a Netflix binge sesh! We’ve found the perfect show to watch if you’re planning such a weekend.

Netflix’s latest offering, The Perfect Couple, has been causing a stir among binge-watchers with its intriguing blend of romance, drama, and unexpected twists. The show, based on the best-selling novel by Elin Hilderbrand, takes viewers into the glamorous yet tumultuous world of a Nantucket wedding that quickly spirals into chaos. If you enjoy murder mysteries that have you asking who did it?! Then, The Perfect Couple is for you.

At the story’s heart is a high-profile wedding between Amelia and Benji, the charming and seemingly perfect couple. However, as the big day approaches, secrets and tensions simmer beneath the surface, setting the stage for a rollercoaster of emotions. The series masterfully balances its central romance with a deep dive into complex character relationships and hidden truths, keeping viewers on the edge. You’ll find yourself switching characters on who killed Meritt Monaco (spoiler alert: it was Abby Winbury!)

If Succession, The White Lotus and The Undoing were to have a baby, this would be it. Now, we’re not saying it’s the greatest show ever, but it’s the ideal watch if you find yourself scrolling through Netflix, searching desperately for something to watch.

Overall, The Perfect Couple is a compelling watch that offers more than just a love story. It’s a deep dive into the intricacies of relationships, filled with twists that keep viewers hooked. If you’re in the mood for a series combining romance with a hefty dose of drama, this Netflix show is worth adding to your watchlist.
