The exploits of various guests and staff at the luxury resort throughout the week. HBO renewed the series for a second season, although the show was intended to be a limited one-season miniseries. The show is said to be an anthology-style series with new characters for each season. HBO has done this before (to widespread acclaim) with True Detective (2014). Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #4.175 (2021). Although the first few seasons were awesome. This second season is about as masterful as you could hope for. It starts off a bit slow, the first episode, but soon finds itself and surprises again and again, drawing me in like I haven’t quite experienced. It feels like a review of every thought I’ve ever had about a holiday resort, many of which I had long since forgotten. That alone is a joy, but don’t worry, flirting with opera-like peaks of drama and beauty is something quite appropriate given its setting in Sicily. Given the excellence of the acting and the apparent appearance. tells effortlessly I would have to say Mike White, this series' creator, is some kind of unsung genius. The guy seems to know no bounds as well as one of the sharpest details I’ve ever seen.
