The Perfect Couple Goes Way Harder Than the Book
Briefly

The Netflix adaptation of The Perfect Couple takes significant liberties with its source material, ultimately portraying a more cynical view of wealth and privilege.
In contrast to Hilderbrand's novel, which absolves every rich character, the series implicates Abby Winbury, revealing her flawed intentions that lead to a tragic accident.
Unlike the book, the show directly addresses the consequences of privilege, presenting characters whose actions and motivations reveal a darker side to their wealth.
The resolution of Merritt Monaco's death starkly differs, with the series exploring complex character dynamics and moral ambiguity that the original novel avoids.
