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.

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. Go to Full Review
Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 09/14/2022
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Mar 7 8 successful drama episodes. See more Nancy B @Nanceee Mar 1 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. . . See more Bill C @BillC1618 Sep 18 There was some OK acting, but McCarthy and then Kidman succesively dragged the movie into utter unvelievability. See more lonely b @RT89710647 Aug 17 Healing, great acting, profond and meaningful. See more Greg S @RT82412886 Jul 7 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. See more Amy A. @amya98450 Jul 4 Well, I didn’t know what to expect when I started the show, but it amazes and it pushes the envelope!
