Plot: When a lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin, with a body discovered just hours before the ceremony, everyone in the wedding party is a suspect.
The Perfect Couple miniseries was Very Good.
Pros: It is fascinating having a series which you now knowing who to not route for. I like how this family keep lying to keep themselves out of trouble. All of the performances are so good. The ones I was routeing for the most were the detectives, and how it’s paused their twists and turns throughout the story.
Cons: My only issue with this series is about not a lot of steaks happening.
