The Perfect Couple, which is based on Elin Hilderbrand\u2018s novel of the same name, centers around a wedding weekend in Nantucket that doesn\u2019t go exactly as planned.

So, why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">While the show may be set in the Mexican jungle, <em>Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue<\/em> was actually filmed in the Canary Islands, an archipelago that is part of Spain.
