Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
With a mini-reunion of key players from "Big Little Lies" at its core, Nine Perfect Strangers combines a book by Liane Moriarty with Nicole Kidman and writer-producer David E. Kelley, then surrounds them with an equally impressive cast. The series is another one of those riddles wrapped in a mystery, managing to pique interest while remaining stingy about disgorging big truths, much less little lies.

Season 2 Review:
The pacing, at times, can also feel as glacial as the setting. Still, as Masha, Kidman skilfully navigates a fine line between predator and victim, a manipulator who is also vulnerable. .... The reveals coming via the slow unsheathing of the strangers’ emotional carapaces that transforms at least some of them from formula to flesh.

Season 1 Review:
"Nine Perfect Strangers" is a clumsy star-driven project that, scene to scene, is never quite sure what it is. ... Hopefully there's an answer tucked into the final episodes, which were not provided for review. Whether or not you care enough to stick around that long, that's another story.

Season 1 Review:
It could all have been so much better. The ensemble cast is great. ... But in episode two, nothing happens, and the show carries on this way. Only six of the eight episodes were made available for review, so perhaps the last two are a triumph. By that point, though, you’ll most likely have checked out.

I am hooked. Binge-watched the first 4 episodes and really like what I see as the intentional and unintentional masks of the guests are slowly peeled off.

Great show, love the characters and the intention behind it. That it does not contain elements that most shows have these days, does not make it bad, but a fresh breeze

Nine Perfect Strangers drama miniseries. At the beginning, you expect chamber drama from the series. As a result, it all comes down to a "soap opera". If not for the cast, it would hardly have looked to the end. The plot is very long for 8 episodes

Nine perfectly boring and shallow people willing to put up with psychobabble from an ethereal Russian and her diverse handlers. The fact that "Big Sur" is actually Australia is a major clue that this is a comedy not a drama. Crikey Kelley!

Take “The White Lotus”. Invert everything you’ve heard about that show.
Pity. Stellar cast and crew wasted on terrible (and terribly trite and boring) story.
