The Resort

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.

I stumbled across this show while looking for something to watch and went in with pretty low expectations (giving the initial rating for this show), maybe my low expectations played a part on how much I enjoyed the show however I found myself enjoying it. As a huge "High Maintenance" fan I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ben Sinclair directs the first few episodes and has a role in the show.

I've always been a fan of projects in the mystery/adventure/comedy genres and this show delivers on all those fronts, but feels a bit disjointed and sporadic at times - overall however I would have to say that I'm enjoying the show and am excited to see where it goes.

If you're like me and enjoy shows in this genre, I'd recommend giving this one a go!

This series was a total surprise, curious, intriguing and funny.

Several surprise moments and twists that are laid out to build a climax, the actors all deliver their characters really well.

In all a very refreshing series.

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.

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!
