What to Know

Critics Consensus

A powerhouse trio isn't enough to save a middling narrative that lacks originality, pizzazz, and a sustainable conceit.

Not a Must Watch
You have such little insight into their character and who they really are and then it is like boom, tragedy, everyone is really miserable and everyone is really really, really sad. Go to Full Review Rebecca Onion Slate Apr 16
The idea that these three women are friends from college who see one another as their “people” is a bit difficult to swallow. Go to Full Review Johanna Schneller Globe and Mail Apr 2
The bigger reason I’m irked is that this series keeps insisting on the power of female friendship, while undermining it at every turn. Go to Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy Jun 17
85/100
Imperfect Women did exactly what it needed to do by building a house of cards on a bed of mystery, and the series got better as it got more messy, or imperfect.Terrific performances to be remembered. another sleeper from Apple. Go to Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Jun 9
Lifestyle noir shines at its seductive best in this story of three women whose lives and friendship are torn apart by a death Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ May 5
Sure, the opening two episodes contain enough twists and turns for an entire series, but by then you’ll be exhausted and just willing everyone to come clean and/or reveal the killer, without you having to sit through another six hours. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Emily H. @emihubbard Jun 26 Thrilling with good plot twist See more Shannon C. G @RT45392795 Jun 25 DO NOT take any of the negative reviews seriously! This show was phenomenal! And definitely not predictable. Both compelling and emotionally layered are the stories within the show. Incredibly honest… the characters feel real. They are all flawed, complex, vulnerable and deeply human. Rather than presenting perfect heroes or villains, the show explores the messy realities of friendship, loyalty, love, secrets, and the choices people make when life becomes complicated. Further, Imperfect Women succeeds because of its extraordinary cast. Kerry Washington, Elizabeth Moss, and Kate Mara deliver layered, emotionally intelligent performances that elevate every scene. This is definitely a story that will stay with you. Highly recommended! See more Carolina N. @CarolinaSeacoast Jun 22 Idk about the bad reviews. I absolutely loved it so much I binged it in one night & believe me, I’m picky. The Mary character was soo good. Elizabeth Moss, excellent actress, as well as Kate Mara. Twists, turns, drama, mystery. I loved it. Season 2 PLEASE! See more Kathryn L @RT78716972 Jun 17 Early on I had an idea where this was going to go but I tried to tell myself that surely they were not going to be that lazy as to go there, so we continued watching onto the next episode even though neither of us were certain it was really worth it, then they did go there and that was it for both of us and we immediately said we didn't want to watch further. I know I may seem a bit cryptic but if you watch the show I think you will see what I am talking about. This show has good people in it but I don't think it brought the best out of any of them. Please don't make Season 2 See more Mattie B @Fluddy Jun 14 Perfect cast but predictable plot and imperfect show. See more Nina K @Nina678 Jun 11 The writing is very shallow and fast with a predictable yet frustrating plot line. But I like Kerry Washington, and it satisfies me enough to where i’ll be tuning in until it’s over. See more Read all reviews
