The One for You Podcast dives into the world of so-called prestige TV with an in-depth discussion of NINE PERFECT STRANGERS, a show about, well nine strangers, their weird so-called therapist, and some really nice smoothies. The show is set at a very exclusive wellness resort in California. Many people want to visit, but self-help guru Masha (Nicole Kidman) only allows a select few to into her resort, making sure the guests’ problems bounce off each other perfectly. But this time around, it seems as though things might be slipping out of Masha’s control as the groups is more volatile than expected. On top of that, she’s also receiving threats from a mysterious source. Based on a book with the same name by Liane Moriarty, NINE PERFECT STRANGERS is streaming on Amazon Prime. Astrit Abazi and I talk about the four available episodes in great spoilerific detail. If you want to avoid spoilers, listen to us setting up the show until (12:43) and then jump to (46:49), when we give a spoiler-free summary of our thoughts on the show. One perfect show?
