As someone who’s been binge-watching shows since the dawn of Netflix (or at least since 2015), I can’t help but chuckle at this whole debacle. It seems like we’ve got a classic case of “too many cooks in the kitchen” here, and it’s the viewers who are left with a burnt pot of plot twists!
Spoilers below for The Perfect Couple, so be direly warned if you haven’t yet watched!
Currently, one of Netflix’s top series is the intriguing murder thriller titled “The Perfect Couple“. This show has been captivating both critics and audiences with its engaging “who among these affluent jerks committed the crime?” plotline. The six-episode storyline, potentially leading to a second season, will keep viewers on the edge of their seats, as long as they manage to avoid being spoiled about all the answers beforehand.
Timing is everything, though, which many of this show’s characters can attest to, and Netflix’s social media team is probably that much more aware of it now. The streaming giant posted a video on Instagram featuring interviews with the two stars most relevant to the major character death talking about it over scene clips. Despite the “Spoiler Alert” noted at the front of the video and in the written caption, however, the replies are rife with people railing hard against Netflix for spoiling things.
But who’s actually to blame here, assuming there is a legitimate reason to throw blame around?
Angry Fans Blame Netflix For Ruining The Perfect Couple’s Reveal
Netflix’s IG post (seen lower) does technically seem to give away a major spoiler for anyone who knows nothing about The Perfect Couple, simply by mentioning star Meghann Fahy’s name in this caption:
🚨SPOILER ALERT🚨 how meghann fahy and [redacted] played the killer reveal in THE PERFECT COUPLE
However, while those words and the framing of Fahy in the video don’t explicitly reveal anything specific about the show’s plot, they do strongly hint that Fahy could be the main victim. Therefore, although it might not be the most straightforward way to put it, it doesn’t violate any rules either.
In an ideal world, things might have deteriorated further based on the post, but the numerous critical responses seem to indicate otherwise. Here are some reactions from those who weren’t thrilled about the appearance of this post.
- This is so annoying! Haven’t watched the whole show yet and I probably don’t have to now. Why would you spoil the ending? There’s a lot of other content you could’ve posted without spoiling it! 😕 – @eeeefff
- it used to be on My List now i have to get rid of it because i am not as excited anymore. thanks netflix! – @alrienza
- Love that I wasn’t able to scroll away fast enough. Thanks for saving me the time! Now I don’t have to spend all those hrs watching the show. 😂😂😂 – @that1duude
- Why would you post it doe??? Like literally no warning – @ruvashokoofficial
- You shouldn’t have😢😢😢😢 just got to episode 2 now I got to stop watching thanks and no thanks – @urchubby_highness
- This is completely unnecessary and unacceptable @netflix ! What were you thinking? – @noeliaxo
- Who’s doing your social media? The show JUST came out and you’re spoiling the whole thing. You all still have time to take this down. – @breachforthestars
In essence, a significant portion of the comments on that post are negative, making it seem like only a small part (the tip) of an extensive issue is being discussed. However, it’s important to note that some comments do discuss the content of the video and offer varying opinions, such as anticipating the twist or praising the show. Nevertheless, the majority of responses express dissatisfaction.
Seriously, though, no one should stop watching even if the mystery is spoiled, since Michael Beach and Donna Lynne Champlin are aces as The Perfect Couple‘s police chief and visiting detective, respectively. Nothing can spoil their on-screen chemistry.
Sorry, Fans, But I Kinda Think This One’s On You
Although I generally dislike revealing major plot twists or endings of current TV shows and movies to potential viewers, if we were having this discussion two decades ago (before streaming services and Instagram), I’d likely side with those complaining. However, in the 2024 phase of the Netflix Era, things have significantly evolved.
One notable point is that the show titled “The Perfect Couple” was premiered on September 5th, which means it didn’t simply “come out” as suggested by a commenter, although I understand their intent. However, we’re discussing a six-episode series designed for binge-watching, and since its debut, it has consistently ranked among the Top 10 shows.
Dress To Impress
At the premiere of “The Perfect Couple,” Nicole Kidman donned a timeless black ensemble, yet it was her fellow actress, Meghann Fahy, who grabbed attention in a see-through dress.
As a gamer, I can tell you that Netflix seems to be keeping track of everyone who’s binge-watching this series, from those who’ve already wrapped up the wedding-delaying mystery to those who are still deep in it. Here’s hoping that if their data showed 90% of viewers haven’t finished the six episodes yet, they wouldn’t share such a spoiler on social media!
Now, two entire weekends have elapsed since the premiere of “The Perfect Couple.” At this stage, it falls upon viewers to prevent spoiling their own enjoyment. It’s rather absurd to ponder a multibillion-dollar company withholding interview material for an extended duration merely because a handful of people arrived late to a gathering that millions had already attended.
Regardless, this point seems somewhat immaterial as Netflix clearly displayed a “Spoiler Alert” notice on both the video and captions. Disabling audio and autoplay is quite manageable, particularly for viewers aware that they are tuning into potentially spoiler-filled content.
Before we conclude, let me take a moment to acknowledge the comment that managed to find a silver lining in the concept of Netflix prematurely revealing details about its high-profile suspense series.
- You spoil the ending? 👏 Very clever, so everyone can now watch Dead Boy Detectives instead, thank you ❤️ #savedeadboydetectives – @sfhvn.all.the.as
It seems clear that this discussion on entertainment doesn’t necessarily have definitive solutions, but what matters most is that individuals may gain valuable insights from this situation and exercise caution when browsing social media during mystery-solving scenarios.
