The Perfect Couple
The cast dancing on a Nantucket lawn in wedding clothes, entirely straight-faced — a tonal misdirection the series never repeats.
The Perfect Couple opens with a main title sequence of 32 seconds.
At 32 seconds, it opens well under the 47-second median for crime sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Netflix in 2024, when Big Mouth, Cobra Kai and Elite were also on the network.
