Watching the cracks start to show among the privileged hotel guests remains a delicious process, but there are also points where it feels like a routine.
The industrious new season of Mike White’s black comedy of American insatiability is set at the Thai branch of the titular – and quite possibly cursed – resort chain. The focus of the luxury haven is wellness, with the guests being prescribed daily soothing treatments. The local staff, smiles permanently fixed, toil away on the wealthy guests, but it serves only to build anticipation for their downfall.
While the HBO series is essentially an anthology – season one’s Hawaiian spa manager, Belinda , features again via a professional development exchange – there’s a growing inevitability to the show. Once more, a shocking event is the epilogue before the story jumps back a week to the guest’s arrival. Watching the cracks start to show remains a delicious process, with individual scenes of telling insight or shocking revelations, but there are also points where it feels like a routine.
