We’re certainly intrigued by the mystery that’s at the center of The Resort. But we also hope that Milioti and Harper get more of their own story to dig into, as opposed to being just a typically bored married couple who come together under extreme circumstances.
-
What makes the series watchable as it descends further into nonsense is its cast, many of whom are forced to make the most of half-baked roles.
-
There’s a lot of that in the series. Random-seeming stories strung together until finally the show just sort of ends, as much of a mystery as it was when it began.
-
Shaggy-dog stories can have their appeal, but The Resort runs in circles in the jungle so long that it struggles to find its way back out. Luckily, while its ideas threaten to spiral out of this world, The Resort is not without more grounded pleasures. Milioti and Harper share the appealing lived-in chemistry of people who really did know and love each other once, even if neither performer is straying all that far outside their wheelhouse.
