After the success of the romantic comedy A Family Affair, and that of the film Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival, Nicole Kidman returns to Netflix with a new crime miniseries in which she is the protagonist. It is called The Perfect Couple and is a crime title that tells, in six episodes, the story of a body found on the beach and the subsequent investigation to find the killer. But let’s go into more detail to find out more about this new flagship title of the streaming platform.
The Perfect Couple: the plot
Amelia Sacks is about to marry the heir to one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families.
