Nine Perfect Strangers excels in balancing its incredible ensemble cast. Every performance in the series is well-acted and thoroughly engaging. ... Nine Perfect Strangers edges out The White Lotus, particularly in the writing of its characters, providing more depth and a far more compelling group of individuals.
The ensemble is large enough that if one isn’t particularly engaged by the character on-screen, one simply has to wait five minutes for the weather to change. ... One wishes for more Kidman: Not a bigger performance, which seems impossible, but one that more firmly holds the show’s center. ... While we may crave more Masha, there’s interest, still, in watching characters place themselves in her thrall.

Great show. Takes 9 people and beautifully analyzes the human condition. Showing how all different walks of life have their own individual challenges. Great acting, intriguing storyline and very good camera work. Also explores new age **** in a interesting setting.

SEASON 1
The plot is just chewy enough for its eight-hour length, and the emotional stakes are reassuringly low. In a world of increasingly appalling, fast-moving headlines, it may be the perfect time to release a drama that doesn’t move like a whirlwind nor feel too convincing.
While Nine Perfect Strangers may be a serviceable popcorn binge, it’s difficult to imagine that the series will leave any sort of long-lasting impression on its audience.
It’s a surprisingly wobbly, not-good performance from a great actress in a beautifully photographed and occasionally entertaining but mostly ridiculous and off-putting melodrama from some of the same folks (series co-developer David E. Kelley and author Liane Moriarty) who gave us “Big Little Lies.”
Unlike The White Lotus, a series that is similarly hollow and filled with mega-stars, it's not even entertaining enough to make up for the fact that it is thematically mute. What a waste.
Performers like Shannon, Hall, and Cannavale do their damnedest to imbue grace and nuance where they can, but they’re constantly hamstrung by simplistic backstories and choices that prioritize plot over logic. ... “Nine Perfect Strangers” gives its audience no reason to invest in the retreat as a one-of-a-kind locale, its subjects as human beings with agency, or its greater purpose as anything other than a fancy vacation for its famous creators.
Agree that is has overacting and the story just isn't that interesting. Kidman has never been this bad. Not expected that, i kinda like her work. Some characters work, like the former football player and also the daughter's role is a good one. I kept watching this show, so I'm not gonna read it very bad, but it could have been so much more!

SEASON 1
Not worth your time. By nature, TV series require a decent chunk of our time, which we will hopefully be rewarded for. The characters talk in exposition, they're constantly spouting thesis statements, and they all seem to be acting in completely different shows. I feel sorry for the talented cast. Nicole Kidman in particular seems to be all over the place. It’s over-written, over-edited, over-acted, and yet under-performs. Do not go on this retreat. You will not be transformed.

This is not worse than White Lotus! That does not mean that both shows are not more than trash, bringing the actors participated to the mud league! By the way what happened to Kidman, is she deliberately trying to make herself unwatchable as part of the role or what?
