"(Nine Perfect Strangers) can't quite decide whether it's a parody of the wellness industry or a thriller, a comedy or a drama."

—
Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune"(Nine Perfect Strangers) isn't the worst show of the year, but it might be the biggest letdown."

The Washington Post
The Washington Post"A tantalising trip..."

The Guardian
The Guardian"Viewers hoping to transfer their tropical schadenfreude high from (The White Lotus) to this new series will be disappointed."
—
San Francisco Chronicle
San Francisco Chronicle"Kidman has the range to play both the unicorn and the woman, but nobody bothered to give her the more important part of that equation."
—
Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"So far... this is a perfectly mediocre affair."
—
Chicago Sun-Times
Chicago Sun-Times"(Nine Perfect Strangers) reels the viewer in quickly, deploying just enough dry humour to keep it from becoming an emotional grind."
—
Sydney Morning Herald
Sydney Morning Herald"(Kidman) lights up the story, and brings fascination to even the weakest plot strands."
—
Boston Globe
Boston Globe"Coming so soon after (White Lotus), Nine Perfect Strangers seems flimsy, superficial in execution..."
—
Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair"In the balance, Nine Perfect Strangers doesn't achieve perfection, but it is both pretty strange and reasonably compelling."

RogerEbert.com
RogerEbert.com"At the centre, and oddly enough the most off-putting element, is Masha. Kidman never gets a handle on just how ridiculous or how sinister her character is meant to be."
—
BBC
BBC"Nine Perfect Strangers is neither groundbreaking nor especially resonant, but with an excellent cast carrying an intriguing story, the series still adds up to time well-spent."
—

—
Collider
Collider"A trippy, intense, exhilarating ride..."
—
Paste
Paste"One wishes for more Kidman: Not a bigger performance, which seems impossible, but one that more firmly holds the show’s centre."
—
Variety
Variety"Nine Perfect Strangers, in all its twisted, perfectly manicured glory, is an excellent adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel of the same name."
—
