The surprisingly solid latest entry to a Netflix genre that’s reliably awful meets cute with the Top 10 in 75 nations

It's actually good this time!

Everyone knows that star-studded action blockbusters, anything revolving around serial killers or mass murder, and wanton forms of titillation are among Netflix’s most reliable sources of in-house content, but let’s not ignore that The Perfect Find has rung up another victory for the wholly predictable romance.

The streaming service figured out relatively early on that it was onto a winner churning out formulaic romantic comedies that ticked every box and hit every story beat audiences had come to expect, but in the case of director Numa Perrier’s latest, offering no surprises has proven to be massively beneficial.

On Rotten Tomatoes, The Perfect Find currently holds a critical approval rating of 71 percent, which is virtually unheard of for any Netflix original that revolves around a pair of would-be lovers overcoming innumerable obstacles on their way to the resolution that every single title of its ilk offers by the time the credits come up.

The medium is often compared to comfort food for the eyes for a very good reason, which has been reflected in the data after FlixPatrol revealed The Perfect Find to have spent the weekend as the fifth top-viewed film on the global charts after meeting cute with the Top 10 in 75 countries all told.

Gabrielle Union stars as a recently-fired woman who returns to New York to resurrect her fashion career, where she ends up falling for a younger and exceedingly handsome colleague, who is also the son of her boss. See? We said it was predictable, but that hasn’t put anyone off.
