I feel like the show moves very slowly and lazily as one big comment on the lifestyles of wealthy westerners.   I also think the constant long nature shots are designed to accentuate this—people jaded by exorbitant wealth bored and unhappy surrounded by incredible beauty and service. 
 

Another theme I like is that everybody rich and poor has problems.  
 

It’s a subtle show—pretty good stuff.

I'm digging this one a lot. Definitely feels a little more "arty" than the first two seasons. I trust Mike White to take us where we need to go.

Goggins and Isaacs are great. I'm really enjoying the sounds, subtle and local music and cinematography is off the charts good. It's beautiful to look at. I think the craziness is coming. I'm sure the 'boat episode' will turn this series upside down.

I had no idea the young local who works at the resort that Gaitok is after is a famous K-Pop star. She was on Fallon or Kimmel the other night. Also, the black woman from S1 was once a writer for SNL.

Based on the episode stills that have come out - yes.

I think the nods to both Parker Posey having dreams of a tsunami back home and the son being infatuated with tsunami videos is that we're in the ocean starting to pull back portion phase of the show before the tsunami arrives and causes chaos. It felt like a slower episode that's setting the table.

This is a good call. End of this episode felt like the tide receding way out before the big waves start crashing.
