Review

  • It must count for something that I made it through eight episodes, although, to be fair, I was sometimes scrolling through the internet out of boredom. On a positive note, the setting is ravishing, making the lavish Hawaian setting of the first series look like a backyard garden in comparison. While positioned as a wellness resort, the amount of alcohol that was consumed was surprising. The whole effort was like a lovely travelogue peopled with unpleasant, unlikable people. I found the endless shots of monkeys, lizards and scenery most rewarding. The cast was uniformly good, considering the dreck of a script that they had to work with. (Hey, who wouldn't accept a well paying gig at a luxurious Thai resort.) The plot limped along, well seasoned with red herrings, a good dose of kink, and pointless sub plots. The finale reminded me a bit of the Blood Wedding in GoTT. Let's kill off a lot of characters! Unfortunately, the three back-biting BFFs survived. Long live the nuclear family!
