“I never understood how normal people who aren’t millionaires get duped by wellness con artists and drop their entire life’s savings on people with zero medical training — that is, until I watched Hulu’s NinePerfectStrangers,” writes marianne_eloise
Photo: Hulu I have always gotten a weird little thrill from watching rich people do insane things in order to feel just a little bit better. I’m not alone: When eccentric celebrities get vampire facials or swear by ice baths or pursue ascetic lives of pure deprivation for no reason other than excessive funds and a desire to feel again, we all watch on, laughing and tweeting as if we might not do the same.
And yet, none of them ever leave or demand a refund for the life’s savings they’ve dropped for a peaceful vacation. There is nothing physically stopping them from leaving, no force when they try and get in their cars, which they don’t. You want to scream, “Enjoy yourself! You’re on vacation! If it’s so bad, just go home!” But they don’t, and you have to understand why: It’s Masha.
Of course, everything descends into chaos, with some horror movie–esque touches. It’s all a little weird and psychedelic and sometimes unnecessarily brutal, but it’s a ride worth sitting through. The vague term “wellness” and the desperate people who pursue it are ripe material for narrative distortion and extremity. The extents rich people will go to in order to just look or feel a little better often mimics torture in a way that we can’t stop watching.
