The Perfect Couple - Netflix

I am on episode 5 so far it is intriguing and the story line broadens more as the characters develop. It is very good acting by all concerned in a beautiful setting something different to watch.

I watched it after watching Sherwood and found such a contrast between the two dramas, Perfect Strangers was a light snack for the mind and Sherwood was a banquet. Nicole Kidman is a stunning woman though. I also thought it was reminiscent of The White Lotus.

The white lotus, was fab. Watched both series.. the main actress, who was in “The Watcher” is another with all the Botox & fillers, but she is so dry! Really funny.

Think Amelia is Bonos daughter, in real life.

in all fairness I might have dropped off too

Oh maybe you’re right-I could well have dozed off and got that bit wrong 😜

ahh ok. I thought they met in a zoo in America

I might be wrong but I think the zoo bit is because Amelia worked there and that’s where she met NK’s son originally.

unless it was because it was alluded to that Nicole Kidman, the Australian actress was British lol

I quite liked it but found the London zoo thing baffling

We did watch it all just to find how Who Dun It, but very disappointed all in all. I love a murder, but this was confusing.

I think Nicole Kidman is always wooden. She is usually given the same role in films.

I though Nicole Kidman was very wooden.
Loved the male lead.
Loved the dancing.
Amelia was beautiful.
Thought the 'groom' was a weak character.
However, yes, thoroughly enjoyable tosh.

Ha ha Nannan2 - I didn't know there was any hype!
If I'd spotted hype I might not have started it!

I watched it all and it was a bit ham to be fair. The French woman with the terrible hair style was my least favourite character but I did like the police officer and the detective. 7/10 from me.
Sambre now. That is worth a few hours of my time.

Sorry, pressed send before finishing.

Part of the reason I loved it was the gorgeous scenery.
Despite it being set on the island of Nantucket, it wasn't filmed there.

It was filmed in Chatham, Cape Cod where a few years ago myself and my husband holidayed for a week. It was such a beautiful place.
Our 2nd week we stayed at Hyannis Port and did head across to Nantucket on a 2 hour ferry crossing.

The aerial views in the prog are of Nantucket, the charming high street etc

I watched all 6 eps on Sunday

Loved it

Finished it and found it all a bit 'meh'. Couldn't really take to any of the main characters at all. I would love to watch Slow Horses (really enjoyed the books on which it is based) but it seems you need to subscribe to Apple TV - is that the only way to watch it?

Not been pulled in by the hype on this, and not sure i will now, i saw the listing but i thought it was a film, but if its a series, & it drags on i probably wont bother.I watched 2nd series of The Teacher other night, with Kara Tointon & will Mellor, quite good, but not as good as first series of The Teacher with Sheridan Smith i thought.I take it theyre going to do more of these 'Teacher' series depicting different people in different situations?British drama is usually good- i saw first episode of 'The wives' last night but dont know if you can stream & binge watch the rest?

Kept going to find out whodunit, but …….. how on earth did two main characters finish up in London Zoo? And I couldn’t make out what nationality Nicole Kidman was supposed to be, she sounded terribly British at times although it was never mentioned. Beautiful scenery though.

We decided to watch on account of hearing it described as "watchable tosh" - was that the phrase? And Nantucket - well who wouldn't enjoy that setting - as long as all sound was muted!

But for me, it was truly awful and, worse, because having already wasted the time, we really needed to find out who-dun-it. Thankfully it was only 6 episodes.

The writing was dire, almost no plot, no connection between a bunch of unpleasant, unlikeable and unattractive characters who so disliked and resented each other....all that anger and contempt from everyone... from the weird maid to the increasingly odd and wooden Ms Kidman. The only amusing parts were the dialogue between the detective and the local Policemen : though even that seemed to have been based on the antics of (the wonderful) Melissa McCarthy in a similar part.

Mustn't forget the dancing - now if that had occupied at least 55 minutes of every episode, it would have been worth recommending.

I saw on here a post about bingewatching TV. I did exactly that for Funny Woman series 2, which came out on 6th September . Now TV channel ( Sky) ..I had to join for a month but cancelled before subs due again!
If you like 60s social history. a time of striving for equality for women [ pay/ jobs / Equality in all sectors of life etc]
And fabulous outfits similar to mine at that time ....think Mary Quant .the Kings Road and the Beatles!!

We watched 15 minutes and then decided life was too short Each to their own I guess. On the other hand, KAOS was superb!

I have just started watching this
