Could ten days at a health resort change you forever? These nine perfect strangers are about to find out.
Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight; some are here to get a reboot on life; some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves.
Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work, but none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days will be.
Can you stand to be in a room with nine people you don’t know?
People Reviews
Some people found the series exciting and worth watching; some see that One of the successful twists in the story was the storyline revolving around the parents and their daughter, who were trying to come to terms with the suicide of their son/brother. The feelings as they unraveled were genuinely touching, and the performances from Asher Keddie and Michael Shannon were excellent.
Others liked Melissa McCarthy and Bobby Cannavale, who plays an author and retired NFL athlete who starts off detesting one another. It’s a little predictable where their story is going, but it has nuance, humor, and a depth of feeling that kept it from becoming sappy.
Mostly it has been said that it has a well-made production, with great cinematography, impressive effects, a beautiful soundtrack, unique and touching acting.
Critics
Nine Perfect Strangers received good reviews and vibes, as well as criticism. The show was created by David E Kelley (of HBO’s Big Little Lies and The Undoing), based on the 2018 book “Nine Perfect Strangers” by Liane Moriarty (author of Big Little Lies’ source material).
Kidman’s character in the Nine Perfect Strangers was criticized for its cult-ish vibes, a mysteriously inscrutable central figure in Kidman’s Russian-accented Masha, a lush locale (a spa retreat in California, though filmed in Byron Bay, Australia), a hot topic rich for skewering (wellness culture), and the perennial TV draw of miserable wealthy, it was described as thoroughly dull.
It was also criticized for its unencumbered length, overwrought performances, atmospheric tracking shots, and lousy score masquerading as depth – amounting to a misfire, intriguing blocks with no harmony with its parts.
Critics see Nine Perfect Strangers as the most disappointing, especially given the cast, with a clear, yawning gap between what the creators think they’re making and the show that exists.
Also, the series suffers from some confounding logistical questions out of the gate: how are none of the guests at Tranquillum, the dubious wellness resort run by Masha, aware of the no-cellphone policy ahead of their 10-day retreat? How did the guests discover and subscribe to a place that does not advertise nor have any word-of-mouth recognition?
Throughout the six episodes available to critics, each character poses and ponders why they’re sequestered at Tranquillum – “why am I here?” washed up ex-jock Tony (Cannavale) cries in the fourth episode – which unfortunately prompts the same question from the viewer. Why are we here, hours into this shallow pool?
It was criticized for the screaming, meditating and slow-motion shots of smoothies whirring in a blender. The effect only highlights the show’s slim characterization and stands in unfavorable contrast to the intoxicating.
Some criticized Kidman’s appearances, such as the wig and makeup. In addition, the sex scenes were described as devoid of excitement. It was also assumed that the series tried to rely on its success on the fame and beauty of its actors.

Where to watch House of the Dragon online in MENA
![Where to watch House of the Dragon in MENA](https://adigitalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/house-of-the-dragon-2022.jpg)
Want to learn more about the story of House Targaryen? HBO series House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, will debut on OSN+ on August 22.
The new fantasy drama takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It details the rise of the Targaryen family to the Iron Throne.
This new HBO series is promising to be nothing short of extravagant. House of the Dragon is considered George R. R. Martin’s first return to the screen since he created Game of Thrones in the last decade. Martin has kept followers up to date by publishing his digital entries from time to time. “The look of it is great, and the acting, the directing, and writing are the first rate. And yes, for all you book fans, it IS my story. Sure, there are some changes from FIRE & BLOOD— but I think Ryan Condal and his writers made good choices. Even some improvements.”
Since he was heavily involved in the “making of,” literature fans will enjoy this one, too. But they won’t be the only ones; fans of menacing dragons will also get to see what Westeros looks like when the skies are teaming with them. It’s safe to say it’s expected to be an epic series. One that has everything from mystical dragon wars to the gruesome violence and epic stunts we’ve grown to love.
Another point worth mentioning about the series is they’ve gone all out with the cast, bringing a very diverse and unique collective who complements the show’s setting. The cast includes Paddy Considine (HBO’s The Third Day and The Outsider), Matt Smith (Doctor Who), Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint (It’s a Sin, Doctor Who), Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, and Rhys Ifans. Milly Alcock, Bethany Antonia, John Macmillan, and Graham McTavish round out the cast.
The show has ten episodes and starts on OSN+ and OSN Showcase at the same time and date as in the US. The first show will be at 5 a.m. GST on August 22, but it will be shown again at 9 p.m. on OSN Showcase.
