Nine Perfect Strangers REVIEW

drew here and talking about this new,series based on the novel by leon,moriarty for those of you who dont know,its just about a bunch of strangers,going to a wellness center and the,person in charge of the wellness center,played by nicole kidman,is manipulating them and pushing them,to their limits as she tries to,accomplish some mysterious purpose,uh so thats the basic premise,my wife when this was announced she was,super excited because she loves leanne,moriarty,and this was apparently one of my wifes,favorite leanne moriarty novels so i was,interested in it too obviously leanne,moriarty is best known for the,adaptation of her work that premiered on,hbo which is big little lies,so,i was interested in this too because i,enjoyed big little lies and i was up for,some more prestigious soap,uh but it was weird because the trailer,came out and some of you might have,watched my reaction to that trailer i,was kind of stunned,at how little of a hook there was like,the cast is amazing i think this is,honestly im having trouble,remembering a better,cast on tv im sure there has been but i,cant think of one,um,so it was astonishing to me you know,that these actors were on the show but,when i saw the trailer i was like whats,the hook like where is the hook,and as i started watching these first,three episodes at one point i turned to,my wife and i said,there are thriller elements in this,right like its not just like a wellness,retreat its not just like therapy shes,like oh yeah theres a ton of thriller,elements,and this gets to something that i think,is a little bit of a problem with the,show and i i like the show on the whole,but it has a lot of problems,but the first problem i would point out,is again whats the hook i think there,are some hints of thriller,thriller-esque,aspects i think one of the most,interesting things is,seeing uh its revealed at one point,that masha has picked these individuals,to come to the wellness retreat because,they will,interact with each other in ways that,bring out each others demons and its,interesting wondering,what different interactions as you watch,these interactions which people were,brought there to push other people and,to press their buttons i mean thats you,know something very entertaining but,really the most,thrillery,uh elements in the first three episodes,is one we dont really know what masha,is up to we dont know if shes actually,altruistic and wants to help these,people or if she has some sinister,motives,and it seems that as characters do,things that are more and more out of,character that perhaps she is,drugging them giving them some kind of,illicit substances that are causing them,to act out of character and thats kind,of,a little bit,frightening but that doesnt get played,up enough in these first three episodes,i feel and also that someone,is texting masha these threatening,messages saying that its like her last,week to live,but to me both of these things are,severely underplayed and it ends up,feeling just like youre at a wellness,retreat with these characters thats,basically what it feels like and i mean,im sure some people enjoy that but i,never watched in therapy for a reason,because i dont think that that,conceptually is very cinematic or very,interesting its certainly not very,mainstream which is what this show,is probably striving to be its it seems,like this is perfectly calibrated to be,the next little fires everywhere or big,little lies,and its going to be interesting to see,if it takes off like those shows because,to me at least in these initial three,episodes which i liked i dont think it,will i think people will tune in but im,im not convinced that theyre gonna,keep watching necessarily once they see,what this show is actually like,um the other thing that strikes me you,know my wife and i we recently just,finished a show called white lotus and,there was a couple ways that white lotus,did these things,that i think this show should be,striving to do i highly recommend white,lotus by the way,but the things that it did that i think,the show should be trying to do one it,had a really really obvious hook it,starts off with a body in a coffin and,you spend the whole series wondering who,is going to die thats a good hook,this show like i said there is no hook,like im constantly wondering like what,are we supposed to be,wondering about the text messages that,masha is getting well thats you know,they need to play that up more its not,its also just not as visually,and,mentally captivating as,a body in a coffin like that immediately,grabs your attention whereas text,messages that are threatening i mean,i feel like thats just not that,cinematic,but regardless the fact that that hook,is not there i mean it makes this series,just seem like like i said a bunch of,interactions between characters at a,wellness retreat and theyre interesting,enough characters and theyre portrayed,by some fantastic actors,but on the whole i feel that theres,this aspect that could have taken it to,the next level thats lacking,my wife and this is the other thing i,think this show could have learned from,white lotus,as we uh as the show came out my wife,was bemoaning the fact that it gets,released,so late at night,in our time zone and at such a time that,were not going to watch it live because,when the white lotus was airing on a,weekly basis we would text,my,brother and his wife about this show and,we were just having a ball you know it,was a lot of fun to just text our,reactions to stuff because hbo releases,things at a set time and its a time,that people will show up and watch,whereas this show is being released at,such a time i think most people are,going to wait and watch it sometime,during the day on wednesday theyre not,going to watch it the minute it is,released on hulu,and,you know i,i understood my wifes point about that,but something that struck me as i was,watching these three episodes is i dont,know what i would be texting about there,just werent a ton of water cooler,moments it just felt you know like a lot,of conversations between characters some,of them very entertaining some of the,interactions,uh were funny and a lot of them were,engaging,but,it didnt seem to me that there was mo,standout moments where i was like ah,thats thats something that i would be,texting austin and his wife about like,it just didnt strike me that way and,maybe youll feel differently maybe,youll be tweeting the heck out of the,show but for me that just wasnt a thing,so its gonna be interesting to see how,the show takes off or doesnt on a,weekly basis they released three,episodes initially,and,you know so you can watch the first,three episodes now and then theyre,going to release an episode every week,um,so to me,this show is good but not great so far,and it has potential to get better but,its hard to say if it will or not not,having read the book,and not really knowing where its going,if i had to attribute its problems to,one thing i think its the,director i think david e kelly you know,he mass produces these shows and hes,got a knack for just creating things,that people are going to want to tune in,and see,uh but in this show its directed by,jonathan levine and big little lies had,a very very talented auteur director in,this show jonathan levine if you look at,his repertoire of films,hes directed things that were pretty,broad comedies and some of them were,quite bad,in my opinion,and the thing is i think that makes him,a poor fit for this material we dont,always talk about you know television as,being mainstream or more independent,style but this is definitely mainstream,television like i said it seems,perfectly calibrated to entertain and to,hit all these very very obvious notes,and jonathan levine i think that its,pretty clear to me like the acting,across the board like i said this is an,amazing cast of fantastic actors but the,performances seem broad like something,you would see in a comedy and im not,just saying that because melissa,mccarthy

Nine Perfect Strangers Book vs. Hulu Show Comparison | Spoiler Discussion

Hi Im Em from twenty one readers! Today were  talking about Nine Perfect Strangers comparing  ,the book versus the show this video is going  to contain spoilers for both the book and for  ,all eight episodes of Nine Perfect Strangers the  way Im going to structure this video is general  ,things that were the same and then since this  was a very character-driven story Im going to  ,go character by character with what was the same  and different and then at the end I will get into  ,the ending what was the same and different time  stamps are in the description if you want to jump  ,around to different sections the setup for the  book and the show are the same with these nine  ,strangers coming to Tranquillum house to try to be  their best selves and then theres this big reveal  ,that they find out that Masha has been microdosing  them with LSD in order for them to become  ,their best selves for the most part most of the  characters reasons for coming to Tranquillum was  ,the same once the guests got to Tranquillum house  and they found out that theyve been microdosing  ,a lot of the middle chunk of the show was just a  character study learning more about the characters  ,so now Ill go character by character with  what was the same and what was different well  ,start with Frances’s character played by Melissa  McCarthy she was our main character our main guest  ,that were focusing and her reason for coming to  Tranquillum was the same in the book as in the  ,show her main reason was because shes like down  on her look feeling alone because she was scammed  ,by this person named Paul Drabble who pretended  to be in an online relationship with her in order  ,to get scammed for money Paul made up that he  had a son and then scammed Frances into giving  ,her money so thats her main reason for coming to  Tranquillum house however shes also kind of stuck  ,in a life slump a rut with her romance writing  career because her book isnt doing very well  ,and that was also in the book I would say that  in the book her declining career was brought up  ,a lot more than it was in the show in the show it  was more focused on Paul something that happened  ,with Frances that happened with a lot of the other  characters is that they showed a lot more of their  ,hallucinations that they were having and this  was largely due to the fact that Masha started  ,increasing their dosage in the show besides just  micro dosing and that did not happen in the book  ,in the book they stayed with the microdosing so  in the show once Francess dose was increased  ,she started hallucinating Paul the person that  scammed her a lot more so we had at least three  ,hallucinations of Paul from Francess character  most of frances scenes were with Tony so hes the  ,next character Im gonna get into Tony was played  by Bobby Cannavale and a lot of things were added  ,to his character in the book Tony very much felt  like a side character like a character that could  ,have been cut but Tony was very much one of the  main characters in Nine Perfect Strangers the show  ,and for a good reason the things that were  the same in the book and the show with Tony  ,is that Tony was a former famous football player  and that Tony was estranged from his adult  ,children and something that was added for the  show is that Tony is addicted to opioids and Tony  ,is just feeling depressed those conversations  of addiction and depression are very much  ,talked about a lot from Tonys character  with Frances and with Masha and in general  ,a romance begins between Frances and Tony at the  retreat in the book they were together but they  ,didnt get together until after the retreat  had ended but their romance started at the  ,retreat in the book it very much felt like just  convenient that Frances and Tony got together  ,but since they developed Tonys character  more for the show to talk more about  ,his interpersonal struggles with depression with  addiction with his family he was able to connect  ,more with Frances and some of the strongest  dialogue was with Frances and Tony in terms of  ,like them supporting each other and what theyre  working with and them feeling lonely them feeling  ,like hopeless so at times during the middle of the  show it kind of felt like we were getting too much  ,friends and Tony scenes compared to the other  characters but since by the end it made sense  ,for them to be together and I was rooting for them  to be together it made sense why they had so many  ,scenes why they had so much screen time and I was  glad that Tony was very much given more material  ,to work with given more depth than he was in the  book okay now time to talk about Ben and Jessica  ,they were not in the show as much as I thought  they were going to be which was definitely  ,disappointing considering they were some of the  highlights from the book their reasons for coming  ,for Tranquillum was the same as the book which  was that they won the lottery now theyre very  ,rich theyre very superficial and so because of  that theyre not really filling their relationship  ,in the book they end up breaking up  and in the show they stay together  ,in the book they talk a lot about Bens  family member who suffers from addiction  ,but in the show the character of Ben only mentions  that once so its not really even brought up  ,maybe thats because since Tony now has an  addiction they didnt want to bring it up twice  ,and so thats where they cut it but I felt like  way more connected to Ben in the book than I did  ,with the show I wish that they would have given  Ben and Jessica more to talk about I feel like  ,Ben didnt really talk to anybody in the show  besides Jessica that much and Jessica really  ,only had like one scene with Frances they really  only talk to each other by the end Ben and Jessica  ,come to realize that they want to have meaning  in their life beyond just superficial things  ,which was a great realization to come to  but like they didnt really have any scenes  ,that led up to that realization they just kind of  like thought of it like oh we should stop being so  ,superficial that seemed a little bit convenient  that there that they just came to that like  ,they didnt really deserve that big moment of  realization I didnt connect with Ben and Jessica  ,as much but thats because they also didnt give  us a lot to work with and a lot of scenes for us  ,to connect with them next we have Yao and  Delilah played by Manny Jacinto and Tiffany  ,Boone one thing that was different from the book  is that Yao Delilah and Masha were all kind of  ,in a relationship but like separately so like Yao  and Delilah were together Delilah and Masha were  ,together and Yao and Masha were together except  Yao and Delilah were like the main relationship  ,anyway that whole part of their relationship was  not in the book something that was the same is  ,that Yao was very loyal to Masha because Yao was  the person that resuscitated her Delilah we dont  ,know that much about her backstory in the book  Yao was very loyal to Masha towards the end but  ,Delilah something thats different in the book is  that Delilah did flee in the book and in the show  ,but in the book Delilah flees never to be heard  from our scene again but in the show Delilah flees  ,go gets the police and thats why the police show  up at the ending also glory is in the show but not  ,in the book as a third worker at tranquillium all  right for the next characters Im going to talk  ,about theres going to be an element of Mashas  storyline that is discussed because all of these  ,characters connect with something else that we  find out is going on with Masha okay so next well  ,talk about the Marconis which is Napoleon heather  and Zoe so the Marconi family their reason for  ,coming to tranquilim was the same in the book as  in the show which is that their son slash brother  ,Zach committed suicide three years ago so they  want to be together as a family during this

The Nine Perfect Strangers Cast Discuss The Bizarre Journey Their Characters Take On

[Music],thank you for this time on a very long,day i was just watching you all on the,panel,and this time to discuss these,wonderfully layered,characters that have already drawn me in,uh,regina beginning with you carmel is such,a,a woman who has been and beaten down,but she looking something to pull her,sort of out of that abyss,shes on this journey of discover just,trying to break through,is that a fair assessment of her and,what does that break through,could that even look like for her from,when we meet her to the end of the,season,uh yeah i mean i think that for all the,characters um and thank you for having,us,theyre very layered and complex and i,think sometimes the reason you went you,know,thats the journey of the story is you,know yes carmel is there for wellness,but there are many other reasons that,the the the uh story explores why these,characters are there but you know its a,safe assessment to say that,she um definitely has issues of,self-worth,and and um self-love and,you know and you know anger and blame,and shes coming there to,to discover things and then in turn we,discover a lot of things about,her and she discovers a lot of things,about herself i think,it was very exciting for me to see you,in this after seeing so many comedic,performances for you to see,stretch incredible wonderfully done,nicole switching over to you masha has,this ability to,almost like a snake charmer to get these,people to kind of follow her,and and do what shes asked of them,really without a whole too many,questions what do you think is the,the strongest quality she has that shes,able to entice these people,to to follow her along and participate,in what shes offering,i think its her i think its,authenticity which i know,seems like a paradox with her but it,actually is shes,deeply authentic in the sense that she,wants to heal everybody,and believes she has the way of doing it,i mean that was the,the basis for the character for me was,always that it was coming from a truth,and marcia has experienced so much,and has so much in common with almost,everybody thats there,and so her ability to say,um trust me and i will i will take you,there,so i think and thats when youre,playing somebody like this and ive,played,you know different characters like in,the others where,if you dont find the place of truth to,come from,then it will read inauthentic and that,that to me was,really really important um that,people werent saying im gonna run a,mile because i can sniff out that shes,that shes lying or shes not being,truthful i think she has a mythology,that she,totally believes in and says if you,trust me this will work and thats why,i want people to see all eight episodes,because you actually see that play out,i like how youre i like how you said,because i never got that,impression that it was uncaring or just,from a,a different type of agenda other than a,place of,trying to help these characters heal,particularly with your character melissa,francis,francis has undergone thing that a lot,of people,can relate to who have been at the top,of their art their sport,or anything they have been the premier,person of,when you look at whats motivated her to,go to this place where is that,that deep rooted desire coming from,because she could have just trudged,along done a traditional route but where,is she,at that she was like i i just got to,step out,and try something different to find this,healing,i feel i feel like it when we meet,francis she is at a,she has a shes at a point where the,damage,is shes come undone and what i found so,interesting,about her is that she still kept,presenting,as very well like she still put on a,face and did her hair because,it was more important of how people saw,her,and what they thought of her than,actually what she really,thought her own worth was i think we,live in a world where people,you know did you like my vacation do you,find my kids attractive,do you like my like theres so much,presenting to the world and,when that goes away and you have to,actually go do i like me,do i have any opinion of myself i have,nothing left and i just thought she was,at a spot,where she went there because she truly,didnt,have any other choices and i dont know,if coming in there i think she was a,distraction ive always said,i think she booked it for a spa holiday,to distract herself because she can,usually talk and,say witty things and get out of real,conversations,and masha would not let that happen and,she got stuck,in just terrible uncomfortability,because she had to admit,im i have nothing im broken,women ladies i have enjoyed you so much,this is a wonderful series thank you for,your time and i appreciate you speaking,with me thank you thank you,thank you,[Music],bobby thank you for your time i am very,very intrigued by,your performance in the show so thank,you again uh for training,yeah good to be with you we see a lot of,times people joke oh im washed i needed,an extra nap on the weekend im washed,but its a different thing when you live,in a time where you had a lot of glory,and then that glory is,gone and thats what were experiencing,with tony,where does tonys uh pain begin from,when we first meet him and,how does he evolve over the course of,the episodes because hes in a really,painful dark place when we first meet,him,yeah look i think when we find tony in,the beginning hes closer to the bottom,of that rope than we think,um and he um and i think he knows it,i think that what was interesting and,challenging about the role was,playing a guy who volunteered for,something like this and then spent all,of his time resistant to it,i thought well thats really interesting,why would you sign up for that so,clearly hes,at the end yet its maybe,his last gasp um i thought that that,made the stakes really high for him,and i thought it was challenging i,thought it was a big interesting,challenge to play a guy i know a lot of,athletes i know a lot of guys who used,to play the game and,i just think its um its a real,psychological trip to be a professional,athlete because you know youre done by,the time youre 30 in some cases,and i find that an interesting place to,be psychologically and then you add the,physical element to it this guys,addicted to painkillers its ruined his,life,just thought well its an interesting,place to be its an interesting,complicated dark place to be but,you know the writing was so good and,getting to work with melissa means that,theres opportunity for comedy and i,find like when,with desperate characters sometimes it,can be a real challenge to find out what,it is thats funny about them or,charming about them but thats the fun,of it you know is trying to find that,and i think along the way we succeeded,you definitely did because its such,heavy material just because of all of,the characters and what theyre,experiencing,but there are those comedic moments and,i like that they didnt happen,in the beginning it was like a slow burn,into getting,to know all these characters and it gave,them so much more meaning,when you have a character like this,where it is a slow burn and each time we,get a little bit more,of the layer chipping away how does that,transform you as a performer,that you know the vulnerability changes,from course to court episode to episode,well you know you got to just hope that,you have a good script right so were,lucky i mean you know the source,material is terrific,um leanne and david e kelly that was a,great combination the first time out,with big little lies ive worked with,david before,you know like nobody writes complicated,messed up conflicting inner conflicted,characters like he does,um and so i thought that combo was,really good but really it all has to,come down to how good the script is and,how,how the script unfolds you know and then,i hopefully can bring something to that,again you know what i think was,hard to do was figure out how to make,somebody thats so,dark be you know theres something about,theres something about when youre

Liane Moriarty on Nine Perfect Strangers

nine perfect strangers I have a sort of,a long convoluted story as to how it,came about when I was touring after big,little lies was published I kept getting,asked the same question which was what,will your next book be about and I had a,standard joke that I was making which,was my next book will be set on a,tropical island resort and I will have,to do a lot of research to get it right,a lot of meticulous research to get it,right and the more I made that joke the,more I stunted me actually why not that,could make a perfect setting for my next,book and I think I even write a couple,of chapters of a book set on a tropical,island resort but then something,happened to me at a barbecue and that,was what was my inspiration for truly,madly guilty so I put that idea aside,and wrote truly madly guilty and then I,probably kept making the same joke when,I was you know a book tour for truly,madly guilty about the tropical island,resort and I came back to the idea but,then I record a health resort that Ive,been to with the girlfriend many years,before when we we actually smuggled in,some contraband on just a weekend and I,thought that actually creates,opportunity for a little bit of conflict,so my tropical resort turned into a,health resort and I took up from there,if I was taking contraband into a health,resort now it would definitely be coffee,thats the thing that I missed when I,was doing research for this book I did,go to a health resort and I didnt take,anything you know because I thought I,should experience it properly and I,desperately missed my coffee thats,thats the main thing and the responses,to the characters in nine perfect,strangers so far have been lovely to,hear so nice the way people respond to,different characters so Im surprised,sometimes the particular characters some,people will choose Im always gratified,when they say theyre like Francis I,guess because secretly Francis is the,closest to me and so Im fond of people,who say they like Francis and Im really,happy when they said they liked Napoleon,because the Pauline is probably my,favorite character but of course any of,the characters and unpleased if readers,say they respond to them I like it when,people say that they understood Masha,the charismatic slightly scary director,of the health resort,I like when people say oh I I understand,that she meant well even though she was,terrifying,so I appreciate hearing that,if I won the lottery I honestly dont,know what I would would do you or you,start to agonize dont you and thats,when you start to think actually you,choose some ridiculous amount of money,and then when you start spending it you,think actually thats not enough thats,so its silly how you start to think Id,need to give this to this person this to,this person and thats not enough now so,now I need to win more in this imaginary,scenario so I dont I dont know are,holidays holidays I think the best thing,experiences and of course it would be,wonderful to help people out but yes,thats where you start to agonize over,who do I help its confusing and thats,why I find it so interesting thats why,I wanted to explore that in nine perfect,strangers because every article Ive,read about lottery winners shows how,often they go off the rails and how,often it ends up is are not actually a,very nice experience at all so actually,sometimes seems like its something,thats more fun to dream of and to,actually happen thats an interesting,question so if I was in a situation,similar to the one I created for my nine,perfect strangers the role I would play,I feel like I wouldnt actually have,that much to contribute Im not somebody,who would who can help with clever,solutions if you are caught you know,without giving anything away but trapped,in a difficult situation I dont know,what I what I would add I wouldnt be,the panic er I would become I would try,to stay calm a part of that I think I,would be quite useless,so yes itd be better to if theres,another narrator I probably be better to,kill me off fairly early on in the piece,I loved riding nine perfect strangers I,think after the success of the husbands,secret was sort of my breakout book but,I was well into big little lies when,that happened so it was truly madly,guilty where I really felt the weight of,expectation so I got myself all worked,up with that book and worried that,perhaps people wouldnt like truly madly,guilty as much as my other books but,then when it came out and then when some,people said they didnt like it as much,I realized actually thats not the end,of the world and and some people liked,it more but I realized its not the end,of the world if some people like one,book more than the other so I think I,came to nine perfect strangers with a,new sense of freedom a feeling of what,will be will be so I think I had a lot,more fun with this book then perhaps any,of my other books I feel like Ive come,full circle and I had the same amount of,fun writing this book as I did with my,first novel three wishes which is,perhaps why its probably brought back a,lot of the humor of my of my previous,books yeah I loved it,you

three,episodes right uh so if you want to know,our initial thoughts of the show you can,go check out that review but yeah were,going to give our final thoughts right,here but before we do that guys we

below your thoughts on nine,perfect strangers did you like it was it,one of your favorite tv series of the,year let us know in the comment section,below so um yeah starting off,what what are your impressions so going,into the show i was pretty like,optimistic you know it has a pretty,great cast oh yeah the cast is what,really drew me into it right um i mean,we have nicole kidman uh melissa,mccarthy mccarthy,yeah and its from the creator or writer,or something the creative force behind,um big little lies right and the undoing,which are both hbo shows right uh that,we both enjoyed yeah so going in i was,very optimistic i was,excited to watch it um and i would say,like the first couple of episodes were,pretty good,um,by the end of it i felt like,it,kind of didnt go anywhere yeah um some,stuff didnt really work well for me,like i feel like it almost didnt know,what it wanted to be,yeah tonally all over the place yeah,like,something that just stands out to me,like it was like,you know it definitely dove in to like,psychedelics,like drugs drug usage and stuff like,nicole kidman basically she uses,different drugs to basically,uh basically theyre on quaaludes like,the entire tv series right its all part,of her you know treatment or,bigger plan like what she is doing and,so,i mean,it just i dont know i feel like it just,wasnt,it just for me it started off,interesting like i was interested in,what was going to happen right and i,dont know like exactly what i was,expecting from this show i think i was,expecting,without like spoiling anything i was,expecting it to be,maybe a little scarier than it actually,was a little darker yeah a lot darker,there are some darker themes that that,play into the final couple of episodes,but theyre all but not the kind of dark,i was thinking no i was thinking maybe a,little bit more sinister not exactly, but maybe more on the,sci-fi,wavelength maybe yeah um just i was,expecting a little something more to be,going on behind the scenes because,when when you get to the end theres,really not,that much um thats really added that,you dont know from the beginning that,you dont already figure is maybe going,on right um like they tell you nicole,kidmans backstory theres a one thing,that they get into in the later episodes,we wont spoil that was a surprise yeah,um but mainly like you you get who she,is as a character in the beginning i,dont really feel like that changes much,yeah like you know youre youre waiting,for that like big,big reveal big plot twist like are you,sure you want to move on to plan b or,whatever theyre saying right,its too early for that but basically,that big plot twist or big never happens,its just basically like plan b c or,whatever they called in the show is like,give them more drugs,like put them on more drugs and like,thats not,i dont know it just wasnt really that,i think a great a great way to describe,it is just very anti-climatic yeah and i,think what they were trying to do is,theyre trying to bring in all these,characters in the beginning they all,obviously have their flaws and problems,yeah and by the time you get to the end,theyre all supposed to be recovered in,a sense however right unorthodox the,treatment was yeah you do get arcs for,all the characters but i just dont i,wasnt as satisfied with the way they,went about like delivering those it was,almost i mean i didnt believe it i,didnt buy into it right and i almost,feel like,it was easy it was tied up a little too,nicely with the bow like yes,like the stuff that happens,throughout the show i just dont feel,like um,i dont know i just dont feel like it,wrapped up good enough and all the,characters i found to be interesting,that i was interested in in the,beginning like they all just fell flat,for me by the end yeah its like by the,time we got to like episode five or six,i was like all right i get whats going,on i get who they are,um are you gonna do anything with them,thats interesting,and i just became disinterested with all,of the characters and i didnt care,about any of them yeah by the time that,we got to the end and they all just,started to annoy me too yeah i would,agree with that like some characters got,a lot more like development than others,some you know were barely i feel like,barely even developed yeah like you said,the couple right uh samara weaving yeah,samara weaving i say her name wrong,every time um yeah her character and her,um she has a husband in the show yeah um,his character like they,like we just got a very small snippet of,i feel like theyre,the reason that they felt like there was,some stuff cut out like they yeah they,should have went somewhere with them,like in the middle of the season yeah,its almost like we missed some episodes,about them or something yeah because,they get like their their full story,like by the time we get to the end yeah,um and then you show them at the end,theyre theyre working at the facility,and all that stuff well i think they,like opened up their own or something,yeah something like that but you dont,ever feel like that was really,earned right,um so yeah it to me is just a lot of,build up a lot of anticipation for,something to happen and that something,just never happened right yeah i would i,would totally second that,um,i mean if you,knew,now,what you know,am i saying that right like would you,basically would you watch it again,knowing um,i dont know probably,there was some interesting thing im not,sorry i watched it i guess so i probably,i would watch it again yeah ill watch,it again there were some interesting,things um,i was compelled to finish it at least,like i wanted to see how it ended up,yeah um but like i said by the time we,got to the end with the family and their,their son that they were seeing he,wasnt really there but they basically,they were seeing him because they were,on the psychedelics,they were all seeing him at the same,time so that was weird well yeah that,was the whole reason that nicole kim and,started this this place remember yeah,she started the place because,its something that we dont want to,spoil yeah its its i would consider it,a pretty big spoiler so yeah so that,thats like the one,big reveal that we got,yeah,yeah i mean there were definitely some,you know emotional,um,scenes in the show um,you know we have a family who which i,dont think would be a spoiler because,its pretty much,in the first episode i think,but we have a family
