Attacks by various guests and employees of a luxury resort over the course of a week.. HBO renewed the series for a second season, even though 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). Aired on Jeremy Vine: Episode #4.175 (2021). While parts of the first season were worth the tease. This second season is about as masterful as anyone could hope for. It starts a little slow, the first episode, but soon finds its feet and impresses over and over again, captivating me like I hadn’t quite experienced it. It feels like a look back at every idea I’ve ever had at a resort, many of which I had long since forgotten. On that score alone it’s a joy, but don’t worry, it’s far beyond flirting with the heights of operatic drama and beauty, which is only fitting given its setting in Sicily. Given the excellence of the acting and the seeming ease of the story, I have to say that Mike White, this series’ creator, is some kind of unsung genius. The guy seems to have no sense of boundaries and one of the sharpest attention to detail I’ve ever seen.
