Nine Perfect Strangers
Created by David E. Kelley, John-Henry Butterworth
At a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation, 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. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →After listening to King Princess for two years now and fully watching Nine Perfect Strangers season 2, I can’t believe I didn’t realize she starred in the show until I was googling her. I knew the actor was faintly familiar, but did not connect the dots at all!
unlabelledView post →I was reluctant to even watch it because I'm lukewarm on both Star Wars and modern TV but Andor absolutely did it right by basically being a series of three movies per season broken up into episodes. We're watching Nine Perfect Strangers right now and there's barely 90 minutes of good here.

unlabelledView post →I really enjoyed that ending. Trippy, literally, and grounded. I believe [redacted] can be highly therapeutic, though not as portrayed in the show. Still, it was handled well, including explicitly highlighting the lack of consent and rigorous control. I don't know how they managed making a second season, but they've earned a shot at my viewership by delivering a solid first season 👍🏿 #NinePerfectStrangers #Hulu #tv

unlabelledView post →Nine Perfect Strangers is an absolutely insane show that is equal parts surprisingly good and not surprisingly awful. i love a melodrama where i can anticipate the next line because it’s always something like “i never wanted to be a piano prodigy” dropped like a big reveal

Her whole vibe is so icky I doubt I can finish the first episode, much less the series.
