HT: "Ishaan Khatter makes his debut as Shooter Dival, the best man at the wedding of Greer's son. He's a smooth talker, a ripped charmer, who shakes things up with his entry into the Winsbury household. Ishaan keeps the mystery of his character alive with his economical gestures, but one wishes his dynamic with Nicole Kidman's character was explored more. It's an interesting mix of cast, but it's also the casting that gives the murderer away."
The Guardian: "Subtle foreshadowing has its place, but not here. There is also the Winbury’s faithful housekeeper (Gosia, played by Irina Dubova), who is contemptuous of anyone who has not been born into or worked for the family for at least two generations, and a particular admirer of Greer’s tight rein over all. “Without fear, there can be no control.” Their interviews with the police intersect the action and shed sidelights on the main characters, just as those of potential witnesses and suspects did in Big Little Lies. It’s equally effective." ‘The Perfect Couple’ Trailer: A Shirtless Ishaan Khatter Makes Memorable Cameo in Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning’s Murder-Mystery (Watch Video).

Rediff: "Ishaan Khatter, as the mysterious man of Indian origin, may have been a diversity hire (in the book the character is not Indian) but he acts with confidence and fits right into the sea of smooth-skinned sleek aristocrats, being 'kidnap rich' himself. Shooter does not come into his own till the fourth episode. Still, he does well in the part given to him, and he speaks accentless English."
If you enjoy a good mystery with a touch of suspense, The Perfect Couple is definitely worth checking out on Netflix.
