The Perfect Couple - Happy Wedding Eve

Presented as a TV-mini-series about a murder investigation, the opening episode is really only murder-adjacent.

After an hour with these people I’m less surprised a murder occurred than the fact it was apparently only one. Presented in flashbacks to the day of the rehearsal dinner, we get the framework of a police investigation but since the victim isn’t confirmed until the final minute of the episode as too much time is spent spinning its wheels.
