The Resort

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.

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.

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.

Love all the actors here especially the two starring! , but did not expect this story! So so good! Definitely a nice watch during the summer!

Also get that shazam ready- really good music to add to your playlist!

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.
