The characters on Netflix murder mystery The Perfect Couple aren’t very likable.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t love them all the same.
This article contains spoilers forThe Perfect Couple.
Almost everyone onThe Perfect Coupleis terrible.
In the premiere ofThe Perfect Couple, that behavior causes the death of an innocent woman.
WatchingThe Perfect Couple, theres really no one to root for.
Thats what makes it such great fun to binge watch.
Were not rooting for the characters.
Oh what fun it is to judge these truly awful people.
Theyd do the same to us.
So lets dive in, ranking the characters from best to worst.

15 (TIE).
Perhaps her only crime was thinking with her heart and not with her head.
We never fully find out why shes so loyal maybe they just pay her really well?
10 (Tie).
He also presents her with a portrait of herself as a wedding gift.
Always check the registry, dude.
Because an unwanted portrait isnt it, my guy.
They end up mostly unscathed, but that is some seriously poor decision making.
Maybe the powers that be should wait a few more years before letting him have his trust money.
Isabel Nallet (Isabelle Adjani)
Isabel is weird.
Why, exactly, is she hanging around for so long?
And why does she think its a good idea to be sleeping with Thomas?
This seems like something an asshole would do.
He also loans Greer $300,000 without asking why she needs it.
Is it fair to judge Shooter for having gobs of money?
But Im gonna do it anyway.
Broderick Graham (Tommy Flanagan)
Greers secret brother isnt good, but hes also not bad, exactly.
Blackmailing her with that information once shes passed that stage of her life?
Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson)
I just dont like Amelia.
Her whole Im-just-a-poor-girl-nobody-knows-the-true-me act is total bull.
Did none of the windows in that house open?
Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman)
Ah, Greer: She of the mystery accent and cold heart.
A second season is probably out of the question, but one can wonder.
Tag Winbury (Liev Schreiber)
This mans hobby is hitting seagulls with golf balls.
I feel like that alone is enough to place him prominently on this list.
He also sleeps with young women, gets them pregnant, and then abandons them on the regular.
Abby Winbury (Dakota Fanning)
You know how I said I dont like Amelia?
Well, I also dont like Abby, in fact, I love to hate her.
Abby is just so openly and brazenly awful that shes magnetic to watch.
And Dakota Fanning makes her a delight to watch on screen.
But shes also a murderer.
When Abby decides to kill Merritt, we dont see much emotion on her face.
Its much like shes doing a chore or checking off something on her to-do list.
Which brings us to…
1.
Thomas is legit the worst.
But lets check a few boxes, shall we?
This guy is cheating on his pregnant wife.
He pulls a gun on another pregnant woman.
Hesteals prescription medication from a woman with cancer.
All of these are totally reprehensible behaviors that suggest that Thomas has acted recklessly for his entire life.
And worst of all?
Hes a crypto bro.
Um, shouldnt he be at the station with his very pregnant wife?
Or on the phone with a high-powered lawyer, attempting to get her some representation?
All six episodes of The Perfect Couple are available to stream on Netflix now.
