When one lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin – with a body discovered in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony – everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect.
I’m pretty sure there’s no nudity here, but it’s possible I missed some. I watched the series in fast-forward because … well, to be brutal, because it sucks. It’s basically the kind of story found in one of those books you buy in the Zurich airport when you’re about to board a plane to Jo-Berg, and the only things you can find in English are books like this and the last remaining, dust-encrusted copy of Charles Kuralt’s America.
Yes, I’m dredging up specific memories. I should have gone with Kuralt.
It’s actually a story about a woman who writes stories like this, as written by a woman who writes stories like this (Elin Hilderbrand), but obviously not based on her real life, since nobody’s life actually includes a contrived murder-mystery-cum-soap-opera weekend like this. You would not realistically expect much, if anything, in her books to be based on her life, since she writes one or two of these yarns every year, and each human life includes a limited amount of book-worthy stories. Even Hemingway ran out of real-life adventures to write about, and I doubt that Elin Hilderbrand was out there living the Hemingway lifestyle. I guessing that her best real-life tale was the time she was a little late to pick up her kid from Camp Nantucket.
More to the point of this post …
The lead actress, Eve Hewson, is Bono’s daughter, and looks like a younger, curvier version of Emily Blunt. That’s a good thing. It is apparently a good enough thing that she is now the queen of the mini-series, having been in four in rapid succession.
Check that.
I guess she is only the princess of the mini-series since Nicole Kidman, who is also in this show, is clearly still the queen.

Unbelievably bad…even for Netflix.
Eve was also in the one called Bad Sisters, which was pretty decent. Heavy on women yakking, light on nudity, but a good murder mystery.
I thought that was a mini-series, but I read recently that there will be a season two coming very soon.
That’s right, very bingeable series.Season 2 though? I guess once sisters go bad, they stay bad.
Per IMDb, the first two episodes of season two drop on November 13.
A lot better than “Perfect Couple.”
I would have had a different story idea for “The Perfect Couple” starring her.
I’d like to point out that a show called “The Perfect Couple” should star Sydney Sweeney.
Just Sydney Sweeney.
