The Resort

I stumbled across this show while looking for something to watch and went in with pretty low expectations (giving the initial rating for this show), maybe my low expectations played a part on how much I enjoyed the show however I found myself enjoying it. As a huge "High Maintenance" fan I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ben Sinclair directs the first few episodes and has a role in the show.

I've always been a fan of projects in the mystery/adventure/comedy genres and this show delivers on all those fronts, but feels a bit disjointed and sporadic at times - overall however I would have to say that I'm enjoying the show and am excited to see where it goes.

If you're like me and enjoy shows in this genre, I'd recommend giving this one a go!

I'm not going into details, only want to say - if you've been looking, searching for a creative, wonderfully written, clever, entertaining show, this is the one. Watch "The Resort," if you love mystery, drama, comedy, witty repartee and gorgeous scenery. This is the series for you. And me. More than 10 stars. A million stars. Thankfully there are smart, clever writers and excellent actors creating this treat. Thank you to all of you creative people making this show!

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.

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.
