Imperfect Women is a new Apple TV thriller series premiering next week, and the first reviews have arrived. Here’s what the critics are saying.

Imperfect Women Reviews Arrive Before Apple TV Premiere

If you are looking for your next prestige series from Apple, you won’t have to wait long.

Imperfect Women will premiere with two episodes on March 18, Wednesday, and will continue weekly until April 29.

Based on the novel of the same name, Imperfect Women features a star-studded cast including Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, Kate Mara, Joel Kinnaman, Corey Stoll, Leslie Odom Jr., and many more.

According to Apple, the series “explores a crime that upends the decade-long friendship of three women.”

The first reviews are in, here are some quotes:

  • AV Club: “Imperfect Women may not reinvent the murder mystery format, but it elevates it with sharp character sketches and a desire to make them complex, contradictory, sometimes frustrating, and ultimately compelling.”
  • ScreenRant: “Imperfect Women is an addictive thriller that ultimately has much more to offer than its predictable mystery.”
  • Fandom Wire: “Despite my issues with the ending, Imperfect Women is another successful production for Apple TV. The result isn’t weak enough to overshadow the great structure that gets us there.”

The three critics above provide a general consensus from other reviews.

In short, Imperfect Women offers a strong character exploration, with surprises and an engaging story, but the mystery isn’t the biggest highlight as it is somewhat predictable.

If you enjoy crime dramas in the style of Big Little Lies, you will probably love Imperfect Women as well. However, if you are tired of the genre's tropes, there isn’t much innovative here.
