If you like police interrogation setups where everyone is a suspect like those in Big Little Lies; portrayals of wealthy, rotten people whose lives are built on lies and secrets, like The Undoing; and seeing beautiful and whimsical people in paradisiacal settings where one of them has gone to be murdered, like The White Lotus, the new Netflix miniseries is ideal for you.

It truly is for anyone looking to have an entertaining time because that's what The Perfect Couple offers fans of 'whodunits'. 

Set on the island of Nantucket, a summer colony for the rich in Massachusetts -the same one where Hans Landa demands property in exchange for collaborating in Operation Kino to end Hitler in Inglourious Basterds- the series follows a group of guests to the most anticipated and exclusive wedding of the season, which will be canceled when a body is found on the beach the morning of the scheduled day. 

Although the Winbury family appears perfect and happy, they actually have more secrets than money can hide. Everyone is a suspect, and as each of their secrets is revealed, the viewer (and the police) will have to figure out which of those secrets they would be willing to kill for.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand's New York Times bestseller, The Perfect Couple stars Nicole Kidman as the famous and successful mystery novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, a member of one of the island's wealthiest families, mother of the groom and future mother-in-law of a daughter-in-law she didn't choose for her son.

Alongside Kidman, the cast includes Isabelle Adjani as Isabel Nallet, a family friend; Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan, Asteroid City), portraying Greer's husband, Tag Winbury; Eve Hewson (Flower and Her Son, Sisters till Death) as Amelia Sacks, the bride; Billy Howle (By Order of the Heavens, The Serpent) as Benji Winbury, the groom; Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus) as Amelia's best friend, Merritt Monaco; and Dakota Fanning as Amelia's future sister-in-law, Abby Winbury.

As you can see, the cast of this miniseries is top-notch, and watching them together is already rewarding because it's clear they all understood the tone of the story and had a great time during filming, with precise direction by Susanne Bier, Emmy winner for The Night Manager, who previously worked with Kidman on The Undoing. Jenna Lamia (Awkward, Good Girls) handled the novel's adaptation.

I have seen the five episodes that Netflix provided the press in advance, and I can tell you that The Perfect Couple is exactly what the trailer promises (and its irresistible opening): a mystery series starring a luxury cast, in a paradisiacal setting that will make you believe that summer will never end, and whose main purpose is to entertain.

I watched all five in one afternoon, and since then, I've been counting the hours to see the sixth, which I will do as soon as I finish working today. Enjoy.
