This is a game changer for Dutch TV drama, even cinema. What a well produced, good looking TV drama this is. Unprecedented when it comes to Dutch TV series and/or Dutch cinema.. Never before has there been a Dutch production on par with Hollywood or British productions. Sad but true. There has been some rather good series and films in the past decade or so. But not on this level. Kudos for the location scout: what exciting and relevant locations they found for shooting scenes. And the cinematography and the lightning and the editing. Gorgeous. And all Dutch people behind this all. I guess it is the budget from Disney+ that made it possible to create such an excellent product? More money is a better result? If that is the case, The Netherlands should open up bigger budgets to create this international market worthy drama. Or was Disney+ also involved on other levels? Whatever it is, Dutch drama. From now on, has hit a higher tier....

This is such a good, well made and directed series. I was really pleasantly surprised. After the success of Hollywood predecessors Only Murders in The Building and White Lotus, The Perfect Couple hits a home-run. It is so well directed, such a beautiful thing to watch. And during all episodes there are hilariously funny moments: so well written, funny, strong, smart dialogues. The acting: everyone so smooth, strong and really good. You can sense there was a real unity at work. And Nicole Kidman. I recently wrote how miscast she was in that romcom: A Family Affair. But here she is so so good. I am sure she will get nominated many times over for this role and win some awards. She displays such a real an believable Greer Garrison Winbury. Without exaggerating I really think this is one of her top performances of her whole career. I hope she will repeat this role many times over. If not we will miss out on this strong character. Such a joy to watch good acting. From A to Z this series is perfection. And that little dance at the beginning of every episode, with the whole cast dancing. It gives off such a good vibe. This is really on par with White Lotus and Only Murders in The Building. Susanne Bier did a superb job as director. And the script: so rich with all these characters the viewers can bite their teeth in. All dialogues serve the story so smoothly. Beautiful, I can't say anything else. And Nicole Kidman is still growing as an actor. She created this whole new fresh persona. She became Greer. And until the end I was still guessing who could have done it. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Well done, people!
