Based on The New York Times best-selling book by author Liane Moriarty, "Nine Perfect Strangers" takes place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation as nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living. Watching over them during this 10-day retreat is the resort's director, Masha, a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies. However, these nine "perfect" strangers have no idea what is about to hit them.

Critics Consensus

A meandering mystery may muddle its impact, but strong performances across the board from this eclectic ensemble mean Nine Perfect Strangers is never less than watchable.

The new Hulu drama has everything going for it, which makes its failures even more striking.

Watch on, Macduff. Full in the knowledge, of course, that, when everything's revealed, the sore tooth may give way to that dread feeling of regretful gloom you get when faced with imminent root canal treatment.

Playing a cult-like figure running a secretive resort, the only thing wobblier than the Australian Oscar winner's Russian accent are the lifeless scripts.

In the end, Nine Perfect Strangers is a powerless and tedious retreat that does not spring any kind of mystery to the show’s storytelling.

It was hard to take some of it seriously, partially because some talented cast members, such as McCarthy, Carnnavale and Shannon, can turn comic on a dime. Kidman’s strange accent as Marsha didn’t help.

Nine Perfect Strangers strands a great ensemble, turning an eight-episode run that should have been a fresh, easily-drinkable smoothie into a stale, hard-to-chew salad.

The season was good. . . ... Nicole Kidmans Russian accent was awful . Although she was the main character trying to hold everyone together. To help people deal with their problems. What didn't make sense is all the drugs involved . What kind of withdrawl symptoms .are these people going to have at the end of their journey? . A positive ending After all. . .

There was some OK acting, but McCarthy and then Kidman succesively dragged the movie into utter unvelievability.

Nicole Kidman's performance is laughably bad. She makes the show, despite a few good performances and a half interesting plot, a punish to watch. Don't bother.
