I enjoyed seeing all the characters ultimately find the transformative experience they were looking for. Jessica was auditioning for The Bachelor (to boost her followers, naturally), while Ben - whose sister’s drug addiction was briefly mentioned in the series - bonded with Zoe over the untimely deaths of their siblings.Įven though the Nine Perfect Strangers Hulu series strayed from Liane Moriarty’s book quite a bit, it all came together in the end. But, at the end of the book, the couple actually gets divorced. The series rectified this by showing them taking over Tranquillum House together. Both the series and the book showed the couple’s revelation that despite winning the lottery, they weren’t happy not working, and needed to continue contributing to society somehow. Frances and Tony got together Lars told Roy he wanted to talk about having children Carmel came to terms with the end of her marriage and the Marconis found some closure.īen and Jessica’s end game was pretty different, though. Most of the characters saw similar endings in the book and the series, with all of them having a transformative experience that benefited them, despite the unexpected journey that got them there. After their magic mushroom trip - which was monitored closely by Masha, Yao, and Delilah - the guests remained locked in the studio and spent much of the latter part of the book trying to escape as Masha descended into drug-induced madness and made them think there was a fire. Remember that scene in the series finale where some of the group are locked in a room with a simulated fire? That was the setting for pretty much the whole second half of Liane Moriarty’s book.
By the time they figured it out, the nine “strangers” had already consumed a full dose of psilocybin and were locked in a yoga studio for Masha’s new protocol. In contrast, the retreat-goers were unwittingly being micro-dosed with LSD for the whole first half of the book. The TV series showed the Tranquillum House guests figuring out pretty early on that Masha was putting something in the smoothies, which gave them the opportunity to consent thereafter to the increased dosages. No Consent Was Given For Illegal Drugs In The Book
