Seeing rich people doing unusual things can be a quite enjoyable pleasure. The ‘realities’ in which they show their unusual lives are usually a success. There we have ‘Las Kardashian’ or ‘Rican women of Beverly Hills’ congregating thousands of fans in front of the screen. In the plane of fiction the same also happens and we have a lot of classic examples, such as ‘dynasty’, or more current, such as ‘Succession’ or ‘The Crown’. family clans always play, but also the adventures of strangers in extreme situations, as we see in ‘The White Lotus’, the series of the season that is in all conversations.
If you already finished this latest installment of ‘The White Lotus’, you can continue with this addictive suspense series starring Nicole Kidman that we have discovered in Prime Video and that reminds Max’s quite a lot. David E. Kelley, architect of other successes such as ‘Big Little Lies’ and ‘The Undoing’, trusted his Muse Kidman again to star in this story that catches you from the first episode thanks to the halo of mystery that envelops her. “Does the ‘hype’ and its great budget deserve? Absolutely,” says ‘The Guardian’.
‘Nine Perfect Stranger’ is based on the successful homonymous novel by Liane Moriarty located in Tranquillum, a luxurious retreat directed by Masha, a disturbing Guru to which Kidman embodies. She and her team will receive nine strangers who have come there to try to heal certain traumas that we know as the plot progress in this world section of the mundane noise.
One of the keys to the success of this production, considered one of the most addictive series of recent times, is in the profiles of the characters. We have French, played by a great Melissa McCarthy, a novelist in full crisis. The Marconi family, embodied by Michel Shannon, Asher Keddie and Grace Van Patten, who needs to recover from the death of his other son. A couple of ‘influencers’, played by Samara Weaving and Melvin Gregg, with problems in their relationship. Bobby Cannavale, like Toni, a former American football player with drug addiction, and Regina Hall, like Carmel, a single mother who does not exceed that her husband left her for a younger woman. While Luke Evans gives Lars life, a guy full of secrets.
- Guests are designed a personalized treatment that includes health studies and strange drinks that, supposedly, will help them obtain their best version. However, it will soon begin inexplicable events between them and related to the director of the center itself, which will bring to light secrets of the past that will affect everyone’s stability.
As a curiosity, Nicole Kidman said, during an encounter with the Association of Television critics, having been playing Masha for several months. “I was completely crazy. I only responded as Masha. I wanted him to emanate a very calm healing energy all the time, so I remember approaching people and putting his hand in my heart and when they talked to me by my name I ignored them,” he said. The work is noticed because it manages to build a very enigmatic and disturbing character.
She is a fundamental piece for ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ to function, in addition to her aesthetics and script turns that manage to keep our attention without letting decline. In addition, it proposes an interesting reflection on duel, mental health, the inability to disconnect in a world full of stimuli and about excess faith in well -being. When you finish, you will feel more and the good news is that the second installment will arrive on May 22. On this occasion, nine other strangers will meet in a retirement in the Alps. Surely what Masha has prepared for them leaves us as frozen as the landscape that surrounds them this season.
