Using various guests and staff at the luxury resort during the week. HBO renewed the series for a second season, although the series was intended to be a one-season limited miniseries. Rumor has it that the series will be an anthology-style series with new characters for each season. HBO has done this before (to universal acclaim) with True Detective (2014). Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #4,175 (2021). Although some of the first season was spot on. This second series is as masterful as you could hope for. The first episode starts a little slow, but it quickly finds its feet, never failing to impress and captivating me as if I weren’t quite experienced yet. It feels like a compendium of every thought I’ve ever had about a vacation spot, many of which I’ve long since forgotten. From that perspective alone, it’s a treat, but don’t worry, the flirtation with operatic heights of drama and beauty is quite appropriate given that the film is set in Sicily. Given the excellent acting and effortless story, I’d say Mike White, this series’ creator, is some sort of unsung genius. The guy seems to know no bounds and has one of the keenest eyes for detail I’ve ever seen.
