Rating: ★★★ stars
Verdict: "Imperfect Women" is glossy, well-acted and occasionally compelling, but it rarely surprises or breaks free of its familiar genre tropes. The performances keep it watchable, yet the story often drifts, leaving the central mystery less gripping than it should be

There's no genre of TV show I love more than the wine mom drama. You know, the "Big Little Lies" type: rich women, expensive lighting, a murder that exposes decades of secrets, and at least one emotionally repressed woman (often played by Nicole Kidman) staring into the middle distance while holding a glass of wine she absolutely deserves. "Imperfect Women" is that show. It’s glossy, it’s stacked with stars and it’s built around a friendship-that-might-actually-be-toxic dynamic.
