Recentering

The drama and plot this episode had my jaw on the floor at some parts!

The actors do an amazing job with the material, and the atmosphere of the show feels relaxed and slowed down while still managing to bring the tension.

I love how flawed and complex all the characters are, from the rich guests to the staff. Highly recommend!!

I'm starting to see the appeal of this show and why it hooks so many people. These people are some of the most horrible people on television and I can't look away while they make bad decisions after bad decisions. At this point, I'm rooting for Armond to make their lives completely miserable although he is such a flawed character as well. Shane Patton gets worse every episode and I can't believe he's ruining his marriage with a stunning woman. The Mossbachers carry the show at times since they are all completely different and a disjointed mess. I like the father in that family for some reason and his comedic dialogue with his son is always a treat to watch. 3.5/5 stars.

One of the things that I would require, even in a black comedy, is a person whom we should root for. Whose life direction has some importance. I can't think of a single person that I could care less about.

Starting with Armond, we see a person who is a liar about himself and his actions. Secondly, is Shane. He is the worst of the worst. He is entitled and abusive. Rachel is borderline. I'm hoping that she will finally put her foot down. She is going down the road to permanent misery. Of course, there is the whole family of dingdongs, the Mossbachers, who have always had everything they wanted. It is a matriarchal family. Tanya could be sympathetic if she were not so damaged. She is at least pretty honest.

This is definitely the best episode currently.

Without spoiling anything, we see in this episode, character friendships/relationships are possibly threatened.

A new character appears and the fued between Shane and Armond hits a boiling point.

The series is coming together. It seems like Episode 5 will shape how the miniseries finally ends.

Expect some more cringe worthy moments with a shocking end to round off another thrilling episode as the tension builds even more for Armond (Murray Bartlett).

The musical score is fantastic on each episode building suspense the further the duration the more anxious things become.

Tanya is considered a little on the crazy side in Shane opinion, hence the baby Jane reference still, he wouldn't be considered low-key himself in the grand scheme of things. As he gets more and more agitated about how the hotel manager operates or runs his hotel and goes to war further with him.

This episode introduces Shane's (Jake Lacy) mother much to the annoyance of his wife Rachel who isn't overly thrilled to see her on her honeymoon.

Olivia (Sydney Sweeney) is believed to be envious if her friend Paula (Brittany O' Grady) has something she does not, or so Paula says.

(Jennifer Coolidge) Tanya enjoys the company of Greg Hunt (Jon Gries) as to her surprise she is asked out on a dinner date.
