New Day

I thought this episode was really fun to watch with many absurd scenes that made me laugh out loud. There's a lot of interesting dynamics developing. I don't really know what it is exactly about this episode but I can't wait to watch the next episode.

Admittedly I was a bit tired when watching so I may be biased but I just loved it. Get into it with an open mind and no expectations and hopefully you'll love it too!

I understand the feeling this show is boring and slow, but you have to acknowledge the need to build a back story and that characters usually have an arc. You have to know something about them before something happens to them.

I enjoyed this episode more than the first, and love the actors in this show. They signed on for a reason, so my opinion is hang on folks... give it time and there will be a payoff coming. It's only 7 episodes!

Just watched Ep 2 and I'm beginning to see what this show is truly about.

Its genius lies in how he transforms seemingly innocent holiday interactions into something rather more sinister... every poolside conversation now feels loaded with potential conflict.

Murray Bartlett's hotel manager continues to be fascinatingly unhinged beneath his professional veneer, whilst the guest dynamics are becoming increasingly uncomfortable. The entitled American tourists are starting to grate against both the staff and each other in ways that feel authentically cringe-worthy.

What I'm particularly appreciating is how White doesn't rush his reveals. Ep 2 maintains that deliberate pace from the opener, allowing tensions to simmer rather than boil over immediately. Jennifer Coolidge's mysterious guest becomes more intriguing, whilst the newlyweds' relationship shows its first proper cracks.

Still a solid 7/10-the show is clearly building toward something, and I'm rather keen to see how these social dynamics unravel.

Dysfunctional all over, the self indulging characters continue along oblivious to how trivial their circumstances are.

Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) oversteps the mark becoming more needy with continued massage therapy and a rather odd obsession leading to a dinner date with the therapist she just met.

Mark Mossbacher (Steve Zahn) aims to spend more time with his son after a slight scare that he made a bigger thing of than it needed be.

Shane Patton (Jake Lacy) continues on his quest to upgrade his room whilst smoothing his wife, not allowing her to continue her work and remain independent.

Nicole (Connie Britton) seeks the respect and approval of her daughter Olivia Mossbacher (Sydney Sweeney).

Much like the quote from the opening episode, everybody just wants to be seen. The plot is developing well, as each episodes starts to build tension when the score hits halfway through. The acting is spot on and it well worth continuing on to see how it all pans out.

The hotel manager is my favourite although it appears everything is getting a bit much for him especially considering he seemed so sure of himself early on and so sure of his guests.

Criticizing the reviewers who don't like this show by claiming that they don't get satire. Well. Satire is constructed of exaggeration, parody, sarcasm, wit, or irony. I find none in this show, just people acting awkwardly and/or being obnoxious. Not amusing, entertaining, or enlightening.

Plus, the writers have no clue about the hospitality industry. Not to mention that this resort is run like a dump not a five star resort.
