Fans Hail Netflix Show As ‘Trash TV At Its Finest’ As They Binge Entire Season In A Day
Fans are calling a new Netflix show ‘trash TV at its finest,’ and binging the entire season in one day.
Netflix’s latest series has quickly become a major hit, with viewers claiming they devoured all six episodes in less than a day.
Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s 2018 novel, this drama revolves around a grandiose wedding that takes an unexpected turn, leading to disaster.
Fans and critics alike have drawn comparisons to popular shows like The White Lotus and Big Little Lies.
Social media buzz is already in full swing, with comments ranging from glowing praise to amused critiques of its ‘trashy’ appeal.
One viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Finished the entire series in less than 24 hours. It was so good.”
While another raved about the unexpected twists: “The plot twist is SO GOOD.”
Amidst the chatter, a recurring theme has been its addictive nature, with several fans describing the show as ‘trash TV at its finest.’
One even called it: “Bonkers in the best way.”
Despite its divisive reception, many acknowledge its entertaining qualities.
A fan enthused: “Pure, delicious trash TV at its finest! Soapy drama, twists at every turn, and just the right amount of guilty pleasure fun.”
However, Nicole Kidman’s performance – and her fluctuating accent – has become a topic of debate.
“Nicole Kidman’s accent is American, British, and Australian all at once,” one amused viewer noted.
Others celebrated her unique screen presence, stating: “If Nicole Kidman is in a project, expect her character to be attached to a man who is hot, toxic, obsessive, and useless all at the same time.”
While the fanbase seems captivated, critics have been less united.
Some reviews praise the series as a glossy, well-paced delight, while others criticize it as overly derivative and lacking depth.
Lucy Mangan of The Guardian offered a positive take, likening it to The White Lotus but acknowledging its more superficial exploration of themes like class and wealth.
She applauded the ‘proper plot’ and the well-timed revelations, calling it ‘a glorious, perfectly paced delight.’
Conversely, The Independent’s Nick Hilton dismissed the series as ‘daft’ and criticized its failure to live up to its satirical potential.
Highlighting the disparity between the title and its substance, he quipped: “For all the beachfront properties, designer dresses, and wedding cakes that could feed a small army, perfection is nowhere to be found.”
He added that the star-studded cast brought little depth to the material, describing the show as ‘a neat shot of unadulterated naffness.’
Adapted from Hilderbrand’s work, often dubbed “queen of the beach reads,” The Perfect Couple has sparked debates about whether it’s a clever whodunit or simply glossy escapism.
Even the lighthearted opening credits, featuring the cast dancing to a Meghan Trainor song, divided opinions.
For some, it underscored the show’s playful tone, while others found it jarring.
The drama, set around an extravagant wedding in Nantucket, has undeniably captured attention.
Whether loved or criticized, it’s clear this show, starring Nicole Kidman, has earned a place in the ‘binge-worthy’ TV canon.
Only time will tell if it achieves lasting popularity or remains a fleeting sensation.
