Nine Perfect Strangers - same author as Big Little Lies - anyone going to watch?

[KillingMeDeftly]

Starts on Friday on Amazon Prime, with Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy and other well-known names.

Trailer and review makes it sound intriguing and I love the first season of Big Little Lies so I'll definitely be watching!

Really disappointing book, hope they change it a bit for the series.

I'm going to give it a go.

Thanks for the info, I quite enjoyed the book and shall watch the series.

I might give it a go, despite hating all of her books. Big Little Lies worked so much better on the screen than on the page, and I've not liked any of her other books. All total shit.

I can't quite tell whether you enjoyed her books or not?

I feel the same about Sally Rooney's books. I'm still angry about reading Normal People and couldn't watch the TV adaptation as a result, even though people said it was good.

Dammit. 3 episodes in. When are the next up?

over the next 5 weeks. Aaarrgghh! that is annoying!

Im enjoying it...

but Im still recovering from that poor goat scene 🙁

SPOILER ALERT for Ep. 3

I can't believe they went there...... Bad enough that they firstly implied it, seeing the goat grazing in the clearing - THEN bringing it back over his shoulders - THEN it being spit-roasted - THEN a bloody flashback to who actually did it!

I think NK will exact revenge somehow.....
I have gone from liking it, to hating it.

Mind you - I couldn't watch this week's Masterchef due to the octopus/squid/lobster drooling, so am not the most forgiving viewer.

Same with Below Deck (cannot remember which iteration - I think Sailing Yacht) - and the full-on lobster slaughter. No NEED to show us everything (I feel sure they didn't used to.)

Yes I don't think she's gonna let that go by unpunished ... 🤣

I think she won't - and I HOPE she won't...... It will be the only reason I continue to watch [angy]

silly typo

I was stunned tbh 👀

The book was total contrived shit - Lisne Moriaty has clearly run out of ideas, as I enjoyed her other books.

I will not be watching this, as from the trailer, I can also see NK is doing some weird intense, over-acting schtick - and yes, I know the role she is playing is a (contrived) weirdo, but I don’t want to see someone over-acting the part.

NK was also the only unbelievable one in BLL.

I’m enjoying it so far. The setting is so beautiful and I love the interiors.

Nicole Kidman’s Masha is probably the weak spot for me, all emoting with her eyes because of the rest of her face won’t budge but the rest of the cast are great.

she's good actually... but Ive not read the book to be fair 🌸

Ulysses’ take suggests otherwise.

Just started watching it and it's a bit odd hearing all the American accents when they're very obviously in Australia!

Watching episode 1. Is completely freaking me out already.

I'll be watching it but only once all the episodes are up so I can binge watch.

I agree that the book wasn't her best so I'm hoping they improve it.

will it stay true to the book?

the book I haven't read lol

just hoping its good y'see lol
