There's a big genre in TV right now that's a little hard to name – the relationship-murder-drama-thriller, perhaps? Think Big Little Lies for the most famous example, although shows like The White Lotus also edge into this territory at times. Take a cast of beautiful people, make something terrible happen, then slowly peel back the layers to show us how messed-up they've all been from the start.

Well, once you've taken in what is a fairly spoiler-heavy trailer (as they go), you'll know that Kate Mara's character isn't long for this world. After a seemingly somewhat heavy heart-to-heart with her two friends, she's going to wind up dead, and it's not at all clear how that might have happened.

With husbands and partners entering the frame with suspect motivations and loyalties, it seems like both Washington and Moss' characters will have their own driving forces. The trailer seems to suggest Washington has something major to hide, while Moss is positioned more as an innocent who's desperate to find out the truth about her friend's life and death.

Of course, the best shows in this genre tend to have more than a few twists up their sleeve, so don't be surprised to find that Moss in fact has plenty of her own skeletons in the closet (after all, she's one of the "imperfect" women in the title). I'm all but certain that there'll be plenty of dirt to uncover on all three of them and their families.

One commenter under the YouTube upload is similarly keen, saying simply: "Can't arrive soon enough". That's a sentiment I can get behind, and thankfully the show starts on 18 March, so there's only around a month to wait.
