On September 22, 2021, Hulu's miniseries turned multi-season drama Nine Perfect Strangers ended its first season, leaving fans wondering: Was the show an overly complicated story about forgiveness, healing, and wellness, or a trippy tale about grifting? Depends on who you ask (and how many drug-induced hallucinations you're experiencing). If you're in the camp of the former, well, then the show ended succinctly, providing everyone a (albeit undeserved) happy ending. Personally, I prefer the latter, in which Masha (Nicole Kidman) is a criminal genius who extorted her way out of jail and into a yellow Lamborghini, and the show is a cultural commentary on the power of persuasion. So let's use that lens to unpack what happened to our strangers in the season 1 finale, "Ever After."
