El resort

I'm not going into details, only want to say - if you've been looking, searching for a creative, wonderfully written, clever, entertaining show, this is the one. Watch "The Resort," if you love mystery, drama, comedy, witty repartee and gorgeous scenery. This is the series for you. And me. More than 10 stars. A million stars. Thankfully there are smart, clever writers and excellent actors creating this treat. Thank you to all of you creative people making this show!

Tonally it's all over the place, but something about The Resort kept my attention long enough for this seemingly rom com based mini-series to take a dark existential turn.

The team Sam Esmail (executive producer and creator of the brilliant Mr. Robot and Homecoming) put together here is why I gave it a shot in the first place (Cristin Milioti, Nick Offerman, Ben Sinclair, Luis Guzman, William Jackson Harper, Skyler Gisondo, Michael Hitchcock).

If you're a fan of other complex, existential, sci fi, black comedies like Maniac, Palm Springs, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Made For Love, etc; this might scratch that itch.

I stumbled across this show while looking for something to watch and went in with pretty low expectations (giving the initial rating for this show), maybe my low expectations played a part on how much I enjoyed the show however I found myself enjoying it. As a huge "High Maintenance" fan I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ben Sinclair directs the first few episodes and has a role in the show.

I've always been a fan of projects in the mystery/adventure/comedy genres and this show delivers on all those fronts, but feels a bit disjointed and sporadic at times - overall however I would have to say that I'm enjoying the show and am excited to see where it goes.

If you're like me and enjoy shows in this genre, I'd recommend giving this one a go!

To be frank, I can understand the first reviewer's position. However, the story was developed and was more interesting in the last 15 minutes in the first episode and kept me throughout...I am stuck to my screen because I want to see how these parallels and mystery unravel. It's a clever story, and far more a mystery than a comedy. Which is why I think it has "6". Lastly, these main characters, who are married, have made several choices that are poorly crafted which can be a turn off. Primarily, researching in a foreign nation while drinking. Other than that I'm tuned in and want to see where this goes!

Show is better than 5.8 especially by today's standards. It's funny, intriguing, and is a mystery. Acting is also good. Not sure what people's complaints are. Give it a go.
