Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand, the six-part Netflix series “The Perfect Couple” suggests Agatha Christie by way of Jackie Collins. Lent a certain degree of élan and gravitas because of the participation of Danish director Susanne Bier (“Things We Lost in the Fire”), the series has several peaks and a few narrative valleys, but never fails to keep the viewer guessing and entertained.
