The Resort

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.

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.

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.
