It's been a while since I watched season 1, but I remember thinking Tanya was a typical Jennifer Coolidge character - quirky in a funny way. This season though, Tanya seems way more crazy, like actually crazy in a psycho way. I don't find anything redeeming about her at all, and even with Greg probably cheating and generally acting like an asshole to her, it's hard to feel sorry for her. She's narcissistic and cruel, especially when she's interacting with Portia. I find her totally disgusting this season.

Finally watched the first 3 episodes. I’m enjoying it although not quite as much as the first.

Definitely missing Armond, although I think the new hotel manager will be very interesting in ways we don’t fully appreciate yet.

I suspect Greg’s entire reason for being married to Tonya is to get some of her money. I wouldn’t be surprised if the person on the phone is his true partner and he is merely a con man. Four previous marriages could be four previous targets.

I liked Jennifer Coolidge in the first season but I find her pretty annoying so far in this one. She seems like a crazy person with a pill addiction who is both narcissistic and completely spaced out at all times.

I’m rooting for Portia and Mia.

I will never understand the Aubrey Plaza attraction people have lol. All I will ever see is Parks & Rec version.  The other wifey is hot in the show. 
 

So far it's the same recipe as before. Family, couples, singles cross paths and eventually merge. 
 

Hotel manager has big shoes to fill. 
 

Of all people from season 1 I wish they didn't bring back Tonya.  So hard to watch her.

Alpha male guy isn't as insufferable (in an entertaining way) as the newly wed husband in season 1, but he should be a good shit stirrer  

Mia...more Mia please. Grazie

That was a great episode.

I knew some kind of evidence would be in Ethan’s room, figured it we be a thong or something, but the condom wrapper was perfect. Harper might murder someone.

Interesting that even though Cam and Daphne have cheated on each other, they seem at peace with that situation and are the happier couple. When they are alone, they seem happy. Meanwhile Harper and Ethan seem completely miserable together.

The entire sequence with Mia and Giuseppe was hilarious. Mia and Lucia frolicking around the hotel and gradually interacting with each guest is great.

“I need to fuck him right now.”

“I’ve created a monster.”

Any bets on whether she hooks up with the son or the grandson next?

Oops, that was supposed to be son or father...or grandfather or grandson if you look at it that way.  And now we have a winner.

Damn Mia is hot.  Would have no trouble fucking in a church.

S4 really brought things together, or apart, so to speak. I asked my wife who she thinks dies and at this point almost everyone could be a candidate to be a murderer or a victim or both.

Could Daphne be looking to feign an accident to kill hubby to get his bucks? This crowd Tanya has inserted herself and Portia could be dangerous swindlers. Will Harper take her nerd hubby out? And Alvie seems to have a bit of simmering anger under his repression and wokeness.

S1 was only 6 eps but we have 7 this season. Im rooting for Mia, Lucia, and Isabella, the clerk Valentina has a crush on.

I loved how uncomfortable the last episode made me.

The anxiety in most of the scenes was palpable.

Harper/Ethan and then all 4 of them together

Albie/Portia/Jack scenario

Isabella and Valentina

 

I havent even really paid attention to the murder aspect that's forthcoming...it's almost an after thought to all the drama.  Like, "oh yeah..one or more of these people will be dead soon, and one or more of these people may or may not be a murderer."

I likely glazed over it, so forgive what is almost certainly a stupid question, but how do we know that there is going to be a murder? 

We know that a shipwreck is coming, but I've forgotten about any overt references to a murder. 

I guess bad wording on my part.  We don't explicitly know anyone was murdered, just that multiple bodies have been found at the resort.

 

I must've missed the shipwreck reference.

I believe that the opening scene featured a bunch of bodies and wreckage coming ashore, along with some indication that at least some of our main characters were on board and presumably among the dead. 

But I was pretty baked at the time, and no doubt still giggling over the two goats fucking during the opening credits.

In the opening scene a body floats up at the beach. Valentina arrives and is told other bodies were found. I don’t recall any wreckage

I thought that there was wreckage, but maybe I'm inserting something that wasn't there due to how I perceived the "one week earlier" transition, which I somehow thought suggested that a boat ride was associated with the corpses. 

I may well be completely mistaken about this.

Just rewatched the opening. Dude says one of the guests has drowned. Valentina goes on about well we're not liable for the ocean. Then he says, they found other bodies, other guests have been killed. How many?..."a few".  No wreckage shown but they show boats searching the ocean so presumably all the bodies were being found in the water.

I was a little disappointed in episode 1, but last night hooked me. And today I'm down the YouTube Mina rabbit hole thanks to this song. 

 

I heard this on another TV show a while back, and the tune sounded incredibly familiar but I couldn't place it to save my life. Then I realized that it's a cover of a Gene McDaniels song I first heard while listening to oldies with my dad as a kid. I do think the Mina version is better, though.

Is the gay guy’s villa the same place the two wives stayed at?  I thought that was a different town (gay villa is in Palermo, no?) but it sure looks similar. Wondering if it’s all a grift to con Stiffler’s mom). 

 

I don’t think it’s the same villa. The Girls were in Noto, the gay villa is in Palermo. 
 

There’s definitely a grift going on aimed at Tanya by the gay guys. Pretty sure the gay guys are the ones that either die or lead to the deaths from the opening scene (they were on a boat/coming back in 2 nights/there’s two episodes left). 
 

My wife showed me a theory on Reddit that saif Greg (Tanya’s husband) was the cowboy from Wyoming, and the gay guy is helping him now by offing Tanya so that Greg will inherit from her (I guess they assume the prenup doesn’t say he get nothing if she dies?). Goes kind of hand-in-glove with the gypsy fortune teller who apparently read Tanya’s fortune to say that she would commit suicide (and Tanya wondered aloud earlier if anyone had jumped from the hotel’s cliffs).

The minute the English gay guy started talking about how his weakness was beauty, I realized he was fucking his "nephew". At least I hope it's his "nephew" and not his actual nephew.

Pretty sure the nephew is also an “escort” who just gets to fuck chicks on the side as long as he has enough stamina for his “uncle.”

Wives went to Noto. This is Palermo.

I like the theory that Greg is the unnamed Wyoming cowboy the Quentin talked about? But could be bullshit.

Will Harper mosey into a threesome with Cam and Daphne?

So other than Daphne, Valentina, and Rocco we still have no clue who dies. Two eps left. Just about everyone can be a victim and a murderer.

How about the tits on the hooker though? Gawd damn she's smoke. 

She has firmly planted herself in my top 5 all-time best HBO tits bonermeter.

1. Alexandra Daddario - True Detective

2. Sydney Sweeney - Euphoria

3. Nick Sobotka’s girlfriend - The Wire

4. Lucia - White Lotus

5.  Bianca (the actress who plays Sansa in the Bloody Hand play in Braavos) - Game of Thrones

Unfortunately, Ros, a fan favorite, was knocked out of the top 5 thanks to Lucia.

So opening scene was sex with an escort and closing scene was sex with an escort?  My thoughts as well. 

Also, turned my 65 year old dad onto this show.  He loves it, but is very uncomfortable with homosexual situations.  Was deeply disturbed by the rimming and shoe pooping in s1.

This is a very good list though it shows some recency bias. I move Lucia up to 3 though.

I’ve had HBO since around 79. There have been some fantastic tits thru the years. I will volunteer to do the research.

Very fair statement. It’s been a while since I watched Rome and there are probably some there that need revisiting.

very tough to argue against your list but #3 was just so out of the blue and so perfect.

In no real order, without much thought, of some older shows

Rebecca Creskoff - Hung
Polly Walker - Rome
Catherine Bell - Dream On
Paula Malcolmson - Deadwood
Lizzy Caplan - True Blood

I kept thinking Spartacus but it was on Showtime I think.

Haha yeah she always comes out of left field. I remember seeing that scene for the first time and having a “holy shit” moment that has stayed within me over the years.

You and me both brother. As soon as you started the post that rack was the first one that came to mind.

I knew it when they were on the boat and the “uncle” said that he thinks his “nephew” is happy that he gets to play with someone his own age. Figured then they were fucking. 
 

My husband threw out the idea that they were trying to get her to kill herself.
