TV review: If you liked The White Lotus, you... won't like The Perfect Couple

There is a middle-aged man with sex addiction. The identity of the floating corpse isn’t revealed immediately. Entitled rich people are mean to the help and then rude to investigating detectives

If you liked The White Lotus, you won’t like The Perfect Couple (Netflix). They’re both cut from the same reel, but The White Lotus is much better.

It’s cookie-cutter TV at this stage. The Perfect Couple has super-rich sexy white Americans in a beauty spot, a body floating in the water and a cast that would make you think this is going to be great.
