What to Know

Critics Consensus

With broadly drawn characters and implausible situations, Perfect Couples is an unfunny and less-than-insightful look at modern romance.

Had it had time to grow I think it would have gone down as one of the great sitcoms. But, it just wasn't given the chance it deserved. See more Read all reviews
