The 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!

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!

This show was so different than anything I had seen before. Just when i thought it was going to be one way, it headed in an interesting and unique (albeit odd) direction. When I initially saw the trailer, I thought it was one of those cheesey horror series. The show initially had a 5 rating on IMBD. However, after revisiting IMBD a few weeks later, the rating had jumped immensely so I thought I would give it a go. I initially thought I was in for a decade long cold case for two murdered/missing teens, but it turned out to be something more complex and "out there". The cast is great. There are no weak links as far as acting and character development goes. The show has its endearing moments, comedic moments, sci fi and mystery. Definitely worth seeing and I hope there is a season 2.

The first three episodes were amusing enough; a necessary setting up of characters and scenarios and whatnot, but after that, a large pinch of Cosmic weirdness, an even larger dollop of spaced out Thomas Pynchon-esque Noir intrigue and a hint of Borges as the characters fall down the rabbit hole has made this an unexpected treat. If your tastes stretch to any of the aforementioned, you should give it a try.

As noted by other reviewers, I was a few seconds away from turning off the first episode 15 minutes in. But I like Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper as actors, so I kept going. I'm glad I did. The second half of episode 1 is far more compelling than the first half, and after three episode I am completely hooked.
