Thank you GNs, I’ve been wondering what to watch. I’ll give this a go.

Watchable tosh is the perfect description.

I'm still wondering how the pregnant DIL knew what effect the pill was going to have. As it was dubbed pill roulette it could have been an aspirin.

It really is awful nonsense but I've started it now and may watch the rest. There seem to be no intelligent gripping series at the moment. Where have all the good writers gone?

I sat down last night to watch episode 1 and went to bed after episode 6.
Watchable tosh as someone else said.
Do the super rich really throw their weight about like that?
Are they all objectionable snobs?
I thought Nicole Kidman was so beautiful.

I've watched two episodes, and look forward to seeing the rest. Yes it's tosh, but good tosh like The White Lotus which I loved.
I'm terrible for starting a new series, watching one or two episodes and then dumping it, but I'll see this one through to the bitter end, I feel suitably reeled in. Top notch tosh grin

I think they made him dislikable to show that money talks.

I watched all of it - it was tosh, but very watchable tosh grin. The ending (not the reveal of the murderer) was confusing I thought, and there were plot holes galore, but I enjoyed it as a weekend binge.

Yes ferry23. We are serial binge watchers, instant gratification and all that.
Did enjoy The Perfect Couple but, like you, won’t give anything away.

Yes I’ve watched it all, I quite liked it, but it wasn’t quite as good as the hype. I didn’t like the father character, but realised he was high all the time.

I watched the first episode of this on Sunday and the second last night. I really wanted to know what happened next so I sat down with a coffee this morning, allegedly just to watch the beginning of episode 3.

I then watched the whole of episode 3. Then 4. Then I made a sandwich and watched 5 and 6. It's been a long time since I've done something like that. (Yes, I've got loads of other things I probably should have been doing!)

I'm not going to give anything away but I wondered if anyone else has watched it all yet?
