It’s surprising that Masha Dmitrichenko has found herself in charge of another wellness retreat, this time for Nine Perfect Strangers season 2, considering her past record of disregarding health and safety regulations during the series’ first installment. Nevertheless, she’s in the position now…
The upcoming episodes, derived from events beyond those in Liane Moriarty’s book of the same title that served as the basis for season 1, find nine fresh characters making their way to Zauberwald, an elite wellness retreat nestled in the Austrian Alps. Some journey willingly, others are unwillingly drawn, while some remain unaware of their destination.
In a typical Masha style, she pushes boundaries as she strives for emotional and mental health.
In true Masha spirit, she doesn’t shy away from testing limits while seeking her emotional and psychological balance.
Can they manage it? Will she succeed? Masha is prepared to attempt any method for the sake of healing all parties concerned, including herself.
Among the attendees, Peter (Henry Golding), aspires that by inviting his businessman dad, David (Mark Strong), to Zauberwald, he might secure his approval, thereby discovering his personal sense of direction.
Viewed from Peter’s perspective, it seems like a final attempt. I believe that at this point in his life, if anything can mend our relationship or possibly make my father see things differently, it might just be something like this.
However, even though David informs Masha that he’s at the resort to strengthen his bond with his son, his actions have shown otherwise as he’s been preoccupied with work and hasn’t fulfilled the role of a good father, being constantly engaged in business worldwide; yet, there’s another motive behind his presence.
Strong mentioned that the reason David is visiting also stems from a shared past with Masha, which becomes evident throughout the initial four episodes.
Instead of delving into David, she manages to draw out his confession about underlying problems, and he initially resists, stating he doesn’t require therapy. He’s more concerned about his son. However, it becomes clear that there are deeper, hidden struggles waiting to be uncovered.
However, despite venturing into complex territories, Annie Murphy, portraying a visitor bringing along one of her family members to the retreat, ensures viewers that there will be ample humorous scenes as well.
In this cinematic rollercoaster, mayhem reigns supreme, yet it’s not all doom and gloom – there are bursts of laughter and joy throughout that keep things balanced, offering a delightful blend of action and amusement.” (Movie Critic)
Murray Bartlett, the star playing an ex-children’s TV host residing at Zauberwald, also commented, “It’s quite harmonious here.
Indeed, the change in scenery significantly alters the mood of the series, imbuing it with an air of mystery.
