Glass breaks when Nicole Kidman flashes
her teeth in a smile. Dogs cower, birds fall from the sky.
Her own eyes get icy white. Her grins produce extremely high sound
waves that are inaudible to humans, but the US may employ those ultrasonic
frequencies as a deadly weapon. Her flawless white teeth are
prominently displayed in the glossy, superficially addictive Netflix drama The
Perfect Couple. In a number of TV dramas, including Big Little Lies, Nine
Perfect Strangers, and Expats, Kidman portrays the viciously unhappy, sickeningly
wealthy character that she has mastered. She's bestselling author Greer Garrison Winbury
this time, who married into one of the wealthiest old families in America. Her insecurity vibrates
through her. Her main moral compass is snobbery; she assesses others based on their
fame, wealth, and family history. She gets briefly excited in a childish way when one of her boys says she puts
too much importance on things like "who you went to school with" or "whether
you're on the guest list for Malia's wedding." "I see, Malia Obama is getting hitched?"
She lets out a gasp before realizing it was a satirical reference to
the former president's daughter. When Greer's future daughter-in-law Amelia (Eve
Hewson) shows up before breakfast wearing only her underwear and holding a ladybug, we get
all the information we need to know about her. Greer interrupts her task of directing the
caterers to direct her brittle smile towards Amelia. "Did I not give you a family robe to
wear?" she asks, her sweetness lethal. Amelia's transgression extends beyond her plebeian
act of wandering around partially nude. Furthermore, she doesn't recognize the
favor done for her—only a select group of people are allowed to don the prized Winbury
dressing gown. In real life, Hewson is Bono's daughter. At her wedding to Greer's middle
son, Benji (Billy Howle), she finds herself the sole innocent among a group of pill-popping,
cheating, avaricious, and haughty backbiters. The setting is the New
England island of Nantucket, which was formerly the hub of the global
whaling trade. The Winburys still own a $40 million beach "cottage" and
used to own half the seafront. In one aerial view, a humpback whale is seen
breaking the surface of the ocean with a massive splash. This might be interpreted as a reference
to the family's success in making whale oil, or it could represent the magnitude of the
splash that Amelia's wedding would cause. This particular type of society splicing is so
elaborate that it needs to take place twice, starting with a full dress rehearsal the day
before the ceremony. The wedding planner, Roger, is in charge of choreographing every moment
of arrogant excess, including a line-dancing performance on the beach where all of the guests
participate to Meghan Trainor's smash song, Criminals. Singing, they punch the air, "Anything
that feels this good, well, it must be illegal." However, a lot of mojitos and martinis are drunk
during the run-through, which causes family tensions to escalate. The next morning, one of the
guests is found floating face down by the water. All six installments, which are based on Elin
Hilderbrand's book, may be streamed right now. They adhere to the genre convention of not
revealing the identity of the deceased right away. A brief introduction to each character is followed
by their one-on-one interview at the police station with Donna Lynne Champignon, a detective
who is decidedly unimpressed by their affluence. Merritt Monaco, Amelia's bridesmaid, Meghann
Fahy, uses the event as a chance to increase her influencer presence on the internet. She is hated
by Benji's older brother Thomas (Jack Reynor). There are instances when privilege is
overemphasized. Thomas Fanning's wife, Dakota Fanning, was among the first
to be hauled in for an interview. She boasts afterwards, "They can arrest me, but
they won't." since I'm a female Caucasian. This level of excess and self-interest does
yield a steady stream of vignettes that are comically cruel. While smoking a joint, Greer's
husband Tag (Liev Schreiber) practices his golf swing by hitting balls into the ocean with the
intention of hitting seagulls. Irina Dubova, who plays the family's housekeeper, tells
investigators that the Winburys are so wealthy that they have a room set aside for gift-wrapping,
but she wraps every gift in her own room. And Tim Bagley's character,
Roger the wedding planner, tells the police about his clients'
incredible wealth, saying, "Oh, they're rich."Wealthy enough to engage in child
sex on a private island. 'I'm bored, let's go get a monkey.'"Rich,"
"kill someone and get away with it." That's demonstrated by the private planes at
the nearby airport, which are arranged like limos. Pour yourself a raspberry cocktail and
indulge if, since the conclusion of Succession, you have been craving your fill of
billionaire betrayals and feuds.
