Kerry Washington Stars In Imperfect Women On Apple TV+

There’s a certain kind of story that doesn’t try too hard to be liked, and that’s part of what makes it interesting. That’s the tone of Imperfect Women, the new murder-mystery thriller starring Kerry Washington, now streaming on Apple TV+.
At DivaGalsDaily, we’re always drawn to stories that explore women as they are—not polished, not idealized, just layered and sometimes difficult. Based on the novel by Araminta Hall, the series follows three friends whose lives begin to unravel after a shocking crime. What unfolds is less about solving the mystery quickly and more about understanding the relationships at its center.
Kerry Washington leads alongside Elisabeth Moss and Kate Mara, and together they create a dynamic that feels tense, complicated, and at times intentionally unlikable. These are not easy characters to root for, and that’s the point. Their friendships carry the energy of “frenemy,” a mix of loyalty, competition, history, and quiet resentment that simmers beneath the surface.
The show leans into that discomfort. Conversations feel loaded. Silences feel intentional. You’re constantly questioning who is telling the truth, who is holding something back, and whether these women actually trust one another at all.
There’s still a softness in how the story unfolds, nothing is rushed, and each episode gives you time to sit with what you’ve just seen. It’s the kind of series you don’t binge so much as *process*.
New episodes are released weekly, which feels fitting for a story like this.
Because Imperfect Women isn’t trying to present perfect friendships or perfect people. Should out to Sherly Lee Ralph, playing Kerry’s emotionally distant Afro-Caribbean mother who lays out a spread of lunch with cultural favorite kallaloo.
It explores what happens when closeness and rivalry coexist and how fragile those bonds can become as everything unravels.
