Imperfect Women Review (2026): Is It Worth Watching?

Is Imperfect Women worth watching?

It depends — Imperfect Women holds a 46/100 Celluloid Editorial Rating and a 54% Celluloid Score. Audiences rate it higher than critics do (45%), which usually means the series works better for viewers already invested in its genre or cast.

Created by Annie Weisman, Imperfect Women ran 1 season, 8 episodes on Apple TV+ in English, from United States. Imperfect Women has ended, so you can watch the complete story without waiting on a renewal.

What is Imperfect Women about?

A late-night call summons Eleanor to identify the body of her murdered best friend Nancy — and cracks open thirty years of friendship among three women who believed they knew everything about one another. As the investigation winds through Los Angeles’s moneyed enclaves, the story splinters across timelines, handing the narrative to Eleanor, Nancy and Mary in turn until the killing looks less like a whodunit and more like a reckoning decades in the making. Adapted from Araminta Hall’s novel.

Celluloid verdict: A stacked cast can’t rescue a thriller that mistakes timeline shuffling for depth — glossy and perfectly watchable, but Washington, Moss and Mara deserve a mystery worthy of them. The cast is led by Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Joel Kinnaman, Corey Stoll.
