Tries to balance comedy and drama in a similar vein to Big Little Lies, though in a much less effective and cohesive way. A lot of it really falls flat, and then there's a scene or two that rouses my interest again. Everything with McCarthy and Cannavale is dynamite (McCarthy is definitely giving the show's best and most well-rounded performance), and Shannon has a really hard-hitting scene at the end of episode 3 that really affected me. I'm in, it's reasonably enjoyable and intriguing, but it's not even on The Undoing's level, let alone BLL.

Honestly, the only thing more embarrassing than Kidman's Wigs 'n' Whispers (TM) shtick at this point are Luke Evans' leathery thirst traps on social media.

The reviews for this have been absolutely brutal. The first teaser was very promising (but not the rest) but I'm skipping this. Sounds like a failed at attempt at what The White Lotus did better.

The second episode was better than the first,but yep,this isn't great.I like the banter/chemistry between Melissa McCarthy and Bobby Cannavale but that's about it.

Yikes ! Awful acting , storyline , dialogues , etc. Episode 2 > episode 1 but still incredibly dull. Go rewatch the 1st season of The White Lotus instead ps : Nicole should lay off the Botox

msmoviestar called it back on an entire dead message board YEARS ago .........THAT'S why she's a legend people ....... Yeah, this isn't a good show ........I'm only on episode 3 and I may give up............but it looks like the movies will pay the returns for her she's not getting (imo) from TV atm - her Lucy Ricardo doesn't "seem" like a disaster - maybe on the contrary- and she'll possibly contend for a nod even ....... from the test screening that seemed "possible" (though you never know to trust those entirely) and I think The Northman is the ace up her sleeve......that's the advantage of a great work ethic (and she has that) - you can sometimes work your way through an uneven patch of work like she's had imo........we'll see........ like she has 2 big movies that are just months away....... This has dropped to 58% Rotten atm.......episode 5 airs tomorrow

pacinoyes - Yes, the wigs ‘n’ whispers thing has definitely entered the mainstream now. I was talking to my cousin last week and she said she didn’t want to watch this show because she just wasn’t in the mood for Kidman’s “whispery voice and yet another wig.”

Grace Van Patten looks so much like Shailene Woodley - it's uncanny at times.

Someone please stop Nicole Kidman from doing accents that aren’t her own. Her Russian accent in this show is SO bad, that it’s distracting. And it’s pissing me off as is her horrible wig

This looks fun and I love the cast. A nice mix or movie stars, character actors who are often underused in film, rising stars, ect. I’m especially excited for McCarthy who can be a great dramatic actress. As for the Kidman debate that’s going on in several threads, I’ll just say that I do think she’s largely responsible for the television renaissance as well as breaking down the perception that tv is lesser. Witherspoon too to some extent. It’s not that she was the first, but it’s been a while since any movie star has been that prevalent on television, hitting with her consistency in terms of ratings/acclaim WHILE thriving in film and maintaining an A-list career in that medium. I think that’s what makes her television venture feel unique and not all that comparable to others who may have done some tv work before her. A major film actor doing television work now feels like an event instead of a demotion of sorts She did for TV what Sandler did for Netflix. Wait what did Sandler do for Netflix?

Well, love it, hate it or indifferent to it (and this show did get a decidedly mixed reaction critically and on social media), Nine Perfect Strangers was actually a massive hit for Hulu and has been renewed for Season 2. GOAT Kidman stays winning as the Queen Of TV (fuck it, she's just the Queen of Acting at this point.lol!)

Not sure how anyone who calls themself a Kidman fan could see this as a positive, considering the first season was critically panned (as was her performance) and she’s doing this instead of a much more promising sounding film! But use whatever mental gymnastics necessary to turn this into a reason why she’s the ‘Queen of acting’, I suppose. 😂

But use whatever mental gymnastics necessary to turn this into a reason why she’s the ‘Queen of acting’, I suppose. 😂 Dude/Dudette, your such a a goddamn weirdo! Obsessing negatively over Kidman's career and praying for her downfall, won't make Naomi Watts flop career any better. They really aren't in any competition, unless it's in your imagination. If they ever once were, Kidman lapped her many moons ago and is in a completely different league. It is what it is. Kidman has critical hits, ratings hits, all the goddamn hits she'll ever needs, coming out of her ass.lol! A middling recieved show like Nine Perfect Strangers getting renewed is a actually feather in Kidman's cap. It just shows how powerful her brand on TV/streaming has become that her shows can be popular enough to survive without being overwhelmingly supported by critics or awards bodies....and that will ultimately give her opportunities with streamers and broadcasters and studios for years to come. Kidman understands what TV audiences want, which makes her an extremely valuable commodity to streamers and studios at an age when actresses often lose that kind of commercial viability. As a fan, I celebrate that. So suck on that, lol! Be a better fan of Watts, instead of a obsessively dull hater of an actress you don't like. Turn that negative energy into something positive and maybe it might manifest into some good fortune for the actress you actually like. Y'know, I'd find it super ironic (and very possible) if Kidman chucked Watts a bone and gets her cast as a lead in the second season of this show. What a plot twist that would be

Nicole Kidman, continuing to keep good actors in gainful employment with the prodigious output of her production company adds Henry Golding, Mark Strong and Lena Olin to the cast of the 2nd season.
