Using various guests and staff at a luxury resort over the course of a week. HBO has renewed the series for a second season despite the show being intended as a limited one-season miniseries. 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 Detective (2014).. Appears in Jeremy Vine: Episode #4.175 (2021). I will say right from the start that this is not a series for everyone, it is different, there is a lot of character development and it is a show that I would find much more enjoyable to watch and then watch one episode a week. I love limited series, right from the start there is a set beginning and end. There are no cliffhangers written without a definite conclusion or a series that has exceeded its shelf life. This series is so well crafted that it gives you a definitive, acceptable conclusion that leaves you with almost nothing, if anything, to conclude. It’s great when a season of episodes ends and you’re left begging for more, but it’s also great to watch a short series that tells its story, leaving no stone unturned, and you’re satisfied with its ending and enjoying it. In many ways, I believe this series has left a wonderful blueprint for future limited series.
