The Meaning of Dreams

An uneventful hour, punctuated by two excellent scenes, one between the three ladies and one with Lochlan at a treatment to improve his posture.

The few action sequences that did happen were slow-paced and contained very few consequences. They served to firm up some character development, but not in an interesting or novel way.

As it ended, you couldn't help but be disappointed by the lack of story progress. Not unpleasant, but overall the worst episode of the series so far, or at least since early season 1.

It doesn't take anything away from a season that is developing well, but as a standalone, this was a relative snoozer.

Whatever they are doing, it isn't working. Unlike the previous two seasons there are absolutely no characters that are engaging and it is totally devoid of the humour of season 1 and to a lesser extent season 2. I'll stick with it but after three largely uneventful episodes I'm not overly optimistic. Episode 3 was the dullest so far with lots of 'mood' shots but very little by way of moving the stories on unless you like watching rich, unlikeable people shovelling food in their mouths. I was quite forgiving of the rather bland opening episode as it is all about introducing the characters and location but episodes two and three have been equally nondescript.

The plot drags on with no significant developments, leaving viewers waiting for something to occur. This season has been particularly disappointing, with repetitive storylines and a monotonous pace.

Moreover, I don't understand the praise for the character Mook... Her role is uninteresting, and I would even say unnecessary. The character's presence doesn't add depth to the story, and their scenes feel forced.

Everything unfolds too slowly, I know (I hope) that a crescendo and climax await us, but it still could have been better. The potential is there, but the execution is lacking, making it a struggle to stay engaged.

My husband and I absolutely loved the first two seasons. I'm now beginning to realize that a good part of that was because of Jennifer Coolidge. She is deeply missed this season.

I'm afraid the writing is weak because it's basically the same stories as in the first two seasons, just different characters. And it's hard to really like any of them other than the masseuse. Everyone else is so irritating. The casting is lacking. Jason Isaacs is supposed to be portraying a southern businessman, but his British accent keeps breaking through. Patrick Schwarzenegger definitely seems to have been cast for the name factor, but he's not a great actor, and his character is really unlikable. And Parker Posey's overdone southern accent is annoying.

And what's missing in this season is that while the resort is gorgeous, it seems much more claustrophobic and not open like the other two locations in the first two seasons. You see the resort, and then you see the ocean, but you don't see the resort and the ocean in the same shot as you did in the other seasons. And unfortunately, the weather was not very forgiving because it was cloudy so much of the time. Maybe that was a production choice, but if so, it makes the whole story seems so much more dreary.

Was so excited for the new season, but disappointed as the story is slow, and the cast and scenery are not what they were in the previous seasons. I'm hoping that there is going to be a season 4 (so I originally heard there was not going to be), and I hope they can choose a better location and cast.

Just watched the third episode. The family drama and the romantic tension between Mook and the security guard are mostly good. Other than that, most of the men seem either depressed or into weird stuff. And the three women characters-did anyone even write their dialogues, or are they just saying whatever they feel like? This time, they're talking about politics.

It's been three episodes, and nothing big has happened yet. They just keep building up mystery in every episode, but I'm still waiting for something exciting to happen. At least a fight between Saxon and Greg would be fun to watch. The comedy works here and there, but overall, it's still just decent. 2.5/5.
