Nine Perfect Strangers

It's not a perfect show, but from the first 3 episodes that have been released it's intriguing- there's an overall uneasy feeling, the acting is very good for the most part (the scenes between Melissa Mcarthy and Bobby Cannavale's characters steal the show) and the scenery is beautiful!! I definitely will be watching the other episodes as they are released.

Great premise, beautiful cinematography, terrific cast. Too bad the plot falls flat towards the end. And the last five minutes are just stupid. Too bad, because it started pretty strong. But then it just lost steam and eventually got ridiculous. To the point that I only gave it six stars and I am being extremely generous.

Now the big question is, why do we need to write six hundred characters to comment on imdb? I have read actual film reviews by real film critics that were shorter than that. I think three hundred words would have been just fine, without risking spoiling anything for people who reads it.

There were at least a dozen life lessons taught through the existence and experiences of every character. In my eyes, that makes this series meaningful and gloriously made.

If you liked Big Little Lies and were waiting for something similar let me tell you this show has the perfect ingredients.

Based on a book by the same author, check.

David E. Kelly behind the project, check.

Nicole Kidman as the lead, check.

What else do you need. Just put your trust in these talented people, sit back and wait to be entertained.

Fantastic cast totally torpedoed by terrible pacing and direction. The longer it goes on, the less interested I am in the characters' outcomes.
