There’s something irresistible about watching the wealthy and powerful navigate their lavish, yet precarious lives. Between Big Little Lies, The White Lotus, and Succession, the complex blend of schadenfreude and social commentary offers an absurdism that makes things much more fun. As a genre only gaining steam, Netflix’s latest series, The Perfect Couple, taps into the vein that exposes the cracks of high society’s seemingly pristine worlds.
When The Perfect Couple starts, it's genuinely giving White Lotus vibes. These are rich white folks savoring the good life and oblivious to their privilege. Much like other shows in the genre, the Netflix series finds its charm in the quirkiness of out-of-touch characters and sumptuous details woven through social perception. As it goes, this is a wealthy family absolutely bored by their excess.
With characters introduced almost immediately to help set the tone and pace, what begins as the wedding of the season quickly turns into a nightmare as a dead body is found on the beach the next morning. Setting off a chain of events that reveals the family’s deepest secrets and a turn no one could've seen coming, every moment leading up to its conclusion is intentional.
While The Perfect Couple focuses on a very WASP-like family, a rich, curated mix of established actors and newcomers brings a unique energy and depth to the series. This variety not only creates a dynamic range of performances but also brings out an entertaining layer to its storytelling.
