The explorations of the various guests and employees of a luxury resort over the course of a week.. HBO renewed the series for a second season, despite the series being conceived as a one-season limited mini-series. The show is said to be an anthology-style series with new characters for each season. HBO has done this before (to widespread acclaim) with True Detective (2014). Although some of the first season was cringe-worthy. This second season is about as masterful as anyone could hope for. It starts off a little slow, the first episode, but it soon finds its feet and impresses again and again, hooking me as if I wasn’t too experienced. It feels like a review of every thought I’ve ever had on a vacation resort, many of which I’ve long since forgotten. On that alone, it’s a delight, but don’t worry, it goes a long way to flirt with opera-like heights of drama and beauty, something quite fitting given its setting in Sicily, the story’s effortless, i would have to say mike. White, this series' creator, is some kind of unknown genius. The guy seems to know no bounds coupled with one of the sharpest eyes for detail I’ve ever seen.
