Here's how Netflix's glossy mini-series resolves the central mystery
Susanne Bier’s series lands us in the sprawling summer home of the Winburys, an affluent family headed by ice-cold matriarch Greer and reluctant husband Tag , on the eve of their son Benji’s wedding to Amelia . But their opulent nuptials are put on hold when, hours before the ceremony, someone is found dead in the water. Suddenly, everyone on the extended guest list is a suspect.
First, there’s Kidman’s Greer, who side-hustles her successful career as an author by making sure her husband’s skeletons never go public. She knows Tag has been repeatedly unfaithful, and she alludes to a history of cleaning up his messes. Of course, Tag is also looking pretty plausible, as Merritt is no longer just a fling he can hide away with an NDA.
Then there are the other Winbury children. Eldest brother and certified douchebag Tom is married to Abby , who is pregnant, but having an affair with his mom’s best friend Isabel , who also used to sleep with his dad . He’s in a lot of debt and struggling to keep up with Abby’s high society demands.
For the Winbury boys to get access to their bloated trust fund, they have to wait until the youngest child turns 18. Will is only weeks away from the big day, but with a surprise bun in Merritt’s oven, that trust is looking to be sealed for another 18 years.
