"Nine Perfect Strangers'" Second Season is Less Insightful, Still Somewhat Fun | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

In the second season of "Nine Perfect Strangers," set in the Swiss Alps, Masha Dmitrichenko's backstory is expanded, taking away much of her enigmatic quality. While the show retains its impressive cast, including Nicole Kidman and Annie Murphy, the focus on Masha's past detracts from the development of the other characters, reducing them to mere sketches. The season risks over-relying on stale humor and does not provide a robust narrative arc for its ensemble, making the experience less engaging than its predecessor.
The second season of "Nine Perfect Strangers" deepens Masha's backstory but strips away her mystique, making her less compelling and the narrative weaker.
This edition still contains top-tier talent but sadly reduces the titular strangers to mere sketches, overshadowed by a focus on Masha's character.
