Yes I'm watching it atm, don't understand why the children can't have their own rooms though?

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/08/2021 14:14

My views @Stroller15 as well

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 19/08/2021 20:22

@EachandEveryone

Oh im going to love this.i really enjoyed the first episode. Any Handmaids tale fans recognise Nicks first wife Eden?
Ooooh that's who she is!!!
CloseYourEyesAndSee · 19/08/2021 20:26

Oh my god
I'm on the last episode

Ulysses · 19/08/2021 20:33

I've finished it and no spoilers from me other to say I really enjoyed it. There's so many brilliantly awful characters. Eden from the Handmaids Tale is up there with Mr Pineapple Suite as the most loathsome. Everything they say makes me wince at their entitlement.

This is not a spoiler nor linked to the ending, but there is a green light for a second series too which I'm very much on board with.

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 19/08/2021 20:37

The music was just stunning

KillingMeDeftly · 19/08/2021 21:19

This may be construed a spoiler so look away now...

But I thought it was a brilliant take on privilege and how the privileged get away with what they do and never face the consequences.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/08/2021 21:20

Did anyone pay attention to the opening credits and how they depicted each character?

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/08/2021 20:05

I had a look. You mean the animals

KillingMeDeftly · 20/08/2021 20:08

The animals and, in Mark's case, rotting fruit!

Duggeehugs82 · 20/08/2021 20:12

Oh. Didn’t get that

Duh

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/08/2021 20:14

Roll on e2 on Monday

EachandEveryone · 20/08/2021 20:27

It’s ridiculous the lay out of that suite isn’t it? All that money they have as well. Is it me or does it look really cloudy there? It doesn’t look much like Paradise at all more like Tenerifee in November

No you're right @EachandEveryone, I don't think the sun shone very much!

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/08/2021 20:31

Massive living room

Small beddooom and kitchen

Tho big enough for a camp bed 😢🙀😂

KillingMeDeftly · 20/08/2021 20:32

What was even the point of the kitchen given they ate in the restaurant every day?

TertiusLydgate · 20/08/2021 22:26

I have binged the lot. Loved it.

embolass · 20/08/2021 22:48

Watched first ep tonight , reminds me of Fantasy Island from 70/80s quite enjoyable

EachandEveryone · 21/08/2021 00:06

Apparently its the Four Seasons in Maui i wonder if they changed it much? I remember it on Modern Family.

KillingMeDeftly · 21/08/2021 11:20

Yes, apparently it was filmed when the resort was closed due to the pandemic.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 21/08/2021 18:26

I loved it. I can understand why people didn't if they were expecting a comedy as it was anything but. A true expose of the rich entitled.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 21/08/2021 18:27

And.....was it real? BlushGrin

Here's a piece on the set design. www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-white-lotus-the-four-seasons-maui

I've just binge watched it all afternoon - I wasn't sure at first but actually loved it! Really makes you think and the sense of entitlement is shocking!
