I’m only half way through the series, but it’s definitely my favorite series of the last 2 years. I would describe it as being part of a new genre: cringe-drama. I’ve seen a lot of cringe comedy, but a drama that uses that same toolkit is new to me
Deals with capitalism and colonialism in a way that verges on the heavy handed, but hits the mark so accurately and honestly that it manages to work anyway.
The scene in episode 3 where the Uber rich yuppie family is arguing about politics while the native Hawaiian dancers put on a show for them at their fancy hotel was just perfect.
If you haven’t seen it, watch it! If you have, what did you think?
I’ve loved it. Jennifer Coolidge is so good at playing emotional cringe. She has some of the most incredible deliveries.
Also I know he’s problematic, but the hotel manager is just too hot for me
:panting:
Yeah I love Armond. And I basically have to hide my face behind my phone whenever Jennifer Coolidge’s character is on the screen.
Really enjoying it so far, great cast. I love Armond and his Basil Fawlty mustache
The two girls reading Freud and Nietzsche is just :chefs-kiss:
Edit: Getting Cohen bros vibes from this
Hell yeah, glad you’re enjoying it. Also note the rich asshole reading Malcom Gladwell later on (if that hasn’t happened yet)
I just started watching this show because someone else mentioned it after you. It turns out the rich asshole in real life is a Berner and his poor wife is actually the daughter of some shithead cop. I don’t know what they were going for with that actress but she reminded me of someone I hated in elementary school. I’m only one episode in though. I enjoyed it.
Oh. I’m pretty sure this is indeed a live action Avatar spin off.

___Zuko appears in the last episode
It's pretty good, it's in my current top five shows.
Also, I started watching Mr. Corman yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised by it.
