Still Hung Up On The Watcher? Check Out This Thrilling Nicole Kidman Series On Hulu
Dark series just hit differently.
Summary:
- The dark themed shows are getting more and more popular among viewers.
- The Watcher is one of the best examples of psychological thrillers.
- Nine Perfect Strangers gives the same gripping vibes as The Watcher, but makes it even more complicated.
The era of sitcoms seems to be slowly fading away, existing only as an honorable rewatch of a few particular shows, like the legendary Friends, The Office, and The Big Bang Theory. And the world of small screen television is being taken over by gripping thrillers that take your mind and soul to the darkest places ever.
One of the most popular series released recently that fits the genre is The Watcher. The 2022 series has one season and is actually an emotional roller coaster that takes you on a mysterious and suspenseful journey.
At the center of the story there’s a married couple which moved to a new house and is now threatened by someone that signs the letters by the code name “the watcher”. It is a haunting drama that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
But The Watcher is not, of course, the only series of the genre that deserves your attention. The series called Nine Perfect Strangers offers the viewers a terrifying look at the life of several people trapped in their own fears and troubles.
The leading role in the series went to Nicole Kidman, who plays the role of an enigmatic manager of the so-called wellness resort for tired souls, which ends up being a psychological trap for those who come there.
The role of Masha played by Kidman is dark and mysterious, although her image is actually angelic: she is a tall blonde with a pale face who wears only white dresses in the country style.
All nine of the strangers who have been handpicked for her resort are dealing with different kinds of emotional issues, and the things they go through while they are there are horrifying.
While we see the struggles of the trapped people, the terrible truth about the owner of the place is also revealed. Her life is also haunted, and we never got a chance to know the reason why Masha is so obsessed with what she is doing.
The atmosphere of each episode is full of mystery that makes you wonder what will happen next. And what made it even more compelling is the amazing cast.
“Michael Shannon never fails to deliver a character that you can't quite bring yourself to hate. Bobby Cannavalle never fails to deliver a character you hate then feel like a bit of a jerk for hating so thoroughly. Every actor gives something extra that makes their character compelling,” Redditor DauntingPrawn said.
Nine Perfect Strangers is available to stream on Hulu, so if you're in the mood for some dark fantasy, it's time to check it out.
