Okay, let's talk Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu. Remember that show? Nicole Kidman being…well, Nicole Kidman? Yeah, that one.
The big question: How many episodes did we have to commit to? It felt like a lifetime, didn't it? We're diving into the episode count.
The Official Count
The official answer, drumroll please… It's eight episodes! Eight trips to Tranquillum House.
Eight chances for self-discovery (or at least awkward encounters). Was it eight too many? Let's discuss...
My Unpopular Opinion (Prepare Yourselves!)
Here's my hot take: It could have been six. Maybe even five. Okay, hear me out!
The show definitely had its moments. But did every single episode *need* to be there? I'm not so sure.
The Pacing Problem
It felt like some episodes were just…filler. Beautifully shot filler, mind you. But still filler.
We got lots of lingering glances and dramatic music. Sometimes, less is more!
Too Many Strangers?
Nine strangers meant a LOT of storylines. Keeping track of everyone's baggage was a workout.
Maybe fewer characters would have allowed for more depth. More time to *really* connect with a select few. Just a thought!
The Kidman Factor
Let’s be real, we all tuned in for Nicole Kidman. That accent? Iconic (and maybe a little bizarre).
She definitely delivered the unsettling vibes. Was it enough to justify eight episodes? Debatable.
A Rewatchable Show?
Would I rewatch all eight episodes of Nine Perfect Strangers? Probably not anytime soon.
Maybe I'd cherry-pick a few favorites. The ones with the craziest plot twists, of course!
The Verdict: Eight Episodes, a Bit Much?
Look, Nine Perfect Strangers had potential. The cast was great. The setting was gorgeous.
But those eight episodes felt stretched. A tighter edit could have made it a true masterpiece.
What's Your Take?
Did you love all eight episodes? Or are you secretly on Team "Fewer Episodes, Please"?
Sound off in the comments! Let’s hash this out. We could even make a list of the best and the worst! I'm ready to hear your unpopular opinions.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, Nine Perfect Strangers gave us something to talk about. It gave us memes. And it gave us a whole lot of Nicole Kidman.
So, maybe eight episodes wasn't so bad after all... Right?
Just kidding... Sort of!
Remember to take everything with a grain of salt, and maybe a nice cup of calming tea after that Tranquillum House experience.
