So has anybody started watching Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu yet? I did, I did. (I haven't seen the latest episode yet though.) It's perfectly fun so far, with some keen moments of performance, but I do feel kind of bad for it coming out right on the heels of the similarly plotted The White Lotus from the genius Mike White, by which anything -- yes even a thing starring Nicole Kidman, Michael Shannon, Melissa McCarthy, Regina Hall, Bobby Cannavale, Luke Evans, and the lovely Manny Jacinto here -- would pale in comparison. It feels much more of a piece with HBO stuff like Big Little Lies or that other Reese Witherspoon show, the one where Joshua Jackson wore tighty-whities. (I never bothered finishing that one.) Serviceable but basically disposable glossy trash. We will see. For now let's enjoy this new sweater-tastic photoshoot of Manny for WWD though, right on after the jump...
It’s bad.
ReplyDeleteHe shows his butt in the latest episode, which obviously you'll enjoy, even if the show is a near-complete mess.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly watchable, though. But yes, utterly disposable.
I ended up watching the new episode last night and I am not convinced that it's manny's actual butt -- the way it's shot made me think butt double. Which makes me HATE the show. How dare they
ReplyDeleteI mean, he commented on Twitter about having to undress for the show and made a joke about that being a great reason to hit the gym, so... lol
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty cynical too, but eh, Schrödinger's cat.
