Limited Series: The Perfect Couple
Shingle-style siding, ornately carved white balustrades on rooftop decks, a front porch that hugs the front of the house on more than one level, a humble 5,700 square-foot floor plan with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, decorated with beautifully detailed floral wallpaper and wainscotting. The house is surrounded by English gardens filled with nature’s most alluring and aromatic flowers, alongside a vegetable garden maintained by the area’s best horticulturist, all set against panoramic views of a pristine private beach and Atlantic Ocean waters! On paper, it sounds like a dream — a picture-perfect dollhouse come to life. In reality, it’s the scene of a murder, a cover-up, and the home of The Perfect Couple!
Watch as this miniseries uncovers the scandalous secrets of Nantucket’s most affluent family, the Garrison-Winburys. With a star-studded cast, it’s no surprise that each episode lures you in like a fish on a line. Matriarch of the family, authoritarian, and author Greer Garrison-Winbury (Nicole Kidman tries to maintain the status quo and preserve her own social standing while a high-profile wedding at her Nantucket home sets the stage for a murder built on ignominies that refuse to wash away with the tide.
Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), Benji Winbury’s betrothed commoner, leads viewers through the web of lies that is the Garrison-Winbury family. Follow her as she tries to hold on tightly to her values while the temptation to abandon any semblance of goodness lurks around each corner. The skeletons in this family’s closet are overflowing, threatening to bust down the door and reach out to grab hold of the ankles of anyone who comes too close. Just when Amelia thinks she knows who is at the center of this labyrinth of transgressions, she turns another corner and hits a roadblock. She uncovers secret after secret but still finds herself chasing the truth right through to the very end!
