Nine Perfect Strangers | Ratings & Reviews

"(Nine Perfect Strangers) can't quite decide whether it's a parody of the wellness industry or a thriller, a comedy or a drama."

SalonSalon

"A moderately serviceable soapy thriller..."

USA TodayUSA Today

"Nine Perfect Strangers... tastes bland and feels tonally indistinct."

Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"(Nine Perfect Strangers) isn't the worst show of the year, but it might be the biggest letdown."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"A tantalising trip..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Viewers hoping to transfer their tropical schadenfreude high from (The White Lotus) to this new series will be disappointed."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"Kidman has the range to play both the unicorn and the woman, but nobody bothered to give her the more important part of that equation."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"So far... this is a perfectly mediocre affair."

Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

"(Nine Perfect Strangers) reels the viewer in quickly, deploying just enough dry humour to keep it from becoming an emotional grind."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"(Kidman) lights up the story, and brings fascination to even the weakest plot strands."

Boston GlobeBoston Globe

"Coming so soon after (White Lotus), Nine Perfect Strangers seems flimsy, superficial in execution..."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"In the balance, Nine Perfect Strangers doesn't achieve perfection, but it is both pretty strange and reasonably compelling."

CNNCNN

"The story is tediously more driven by star power than it is narrative..."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"At the centre, and oddly enough the most off-putting element, is Masha. Kidman never gets a handle on just how ridiculous or how sinister her character is meant to be."

BBCBBC

"Nine Perfect Strangers is neither groundbreaking nor especially resonant, but with an excellent cast carrying an intriguing story, the series still adds up to time well-spent."

Film School RejectsFilm School Rejects

"The fluctuations of the tone occasionally get distracting, as if it's never totally clear what this show wants to be."

ColliderCollider

"A trippy, intense, exhilarating ride..."

PastePaste

"One wishes for more Kidman: Not a bigger performance, which seems impossible, but one that more firmly holds the show’s centre."

VarietyVariety

"Nine Perfect Strangers, in all its twisted, perfectly manicured glory, is an excellent adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel of the same name."

DeciderDecider

"The show simply doesn’t know what it wants you to invest in, or why."
