The Perfect Couple

Season One

This show is on Netflix, and it starts off interesting. Its location is in Nantucket, where a rich family gathers for a wedding.

The gorgeous house is owned by Tag and Greer Winbury, the parents of the groom, Benji. The entire family is in attendance for the big wedding. The bride, Amelia, doesn’t seem too excited about the wedding. Her best friend, Merritt is concerned about her friend wondering if she should marry Benji.

Amelia’s parents come to be with their daughter. They are not rich and feel uncomfortable around the Winbury’s. They do their best to try to blend in. Amelia’s mother has cancer and does not want anyone to know and feel sorry for her.

Hours before the wedding, a body is found floating in the water. The wedding is postponed, and police begin to investigate. Now everyone is considered a suspect and taken to the police station for questioning.

The bride comes to the station in her wedding dress. Why is she in her wedding dress? The wedding is postponed. They show a scene where Amelia sees a body floating in the water. She runs out there with her wedding dress on. Amelia turns the body over and its Merritt. Amelia is in shock after this and unable to answer any question at the police station.

Throughout the season, everyone is questioned; and everyone starts to point the finger at each other. The local police get a lot of money from the Winbury’s and does not want to jeopardize that connection. All the secrets of each family member come out. Looking from the outside, you would think that this is the perfect family, but it is far from that. It is as dysfunctional as they come.

In the end, you may or may not be shocked how Merritt dies. And who is responsible for her death. This is a quick watch. Hope you like it.

Flashback of Emilio asking Muncho why he hasn’t gone to get ice yet. Muncho clearly says he wants to finish securing the bouncy house first. But Emiliano assures Muncho he would do.

The guilt is killing Emiliano and he confesses to David that it was his fault the stakes were not secured on the bouncy house. He was so excited to get the call from the Americans, that it completely slipped his mind.
