The ending I found half-satisfying, or half-frustrating, from character to character, but there are great, committed performances along the way, and I was far more than halfway entertained.
Ultimately, "Sirens" is another casualty of the bloated runtime of a story that should've been a two-hour movie at best. It would've worked better as a tighter, less sprawling piece, and should've focused more on the banality of its subject matter.
We’re still largely “meh” about Nine Perfect Strangers, but the show’s second season is marginally better than its first.
This efficient, if somewhat rushed, five-episode limited series also wants to get serious about heavy subjects, and the two tones don’t just clash but magnetically repel one another into different dimensions. I appreciate the effort to make characters and their relationships complex, but it can play out like a parade of dissociative identity disorders.
Though the eight episodes are peppered with twists — including one late reveal that feels recycled from season 1 — Nine Perfect Strangers forgot a key ingredient for its storytelling smoothie: Fun.
The series gestures at using its wealthy ensemble to lampoon cultural discourse, whether it be the half-hearted fallout of “cancel culture” or the pitfalls of millennials embracing therapy speak without reflecting on their personal trauma. But after a few episodes, it falls away in favor of cloying, unearned epiphanies.

It looks glamorous and talks the prestige TV talk, but it’s a hollow, self-indulgent emotional vacuum.
