The music and the dialogue and the murmuring in the background of the workplace seems so formulaic and tired at this point. how many emergency financial situations can they save before it becomes repetitive?

The character’s name is Kenny, but I think that the actor who plays him
is Conor.

I have to keep the subtitles on so I can follow the conversations in the background. The most vile character is Eric, Harper's direct boss. After him would be Yasmin's boss, Conor (the guy with raging short man syndrome). This show makes me feel anxious, stressed, and upset - and still I watch it! Not a good feeling.

The major focus on sex is so unrealistic. Glad to hear it gets better in seasons 2 and 3, because I'm starting to just fast forward all of those scenes. It's just way, way too much.

You will come to like Eric and Conor more as the show goes on. I can't believe I'm saying that.

Once I realized that almost all of them are terrible, emotionally damaged people, I stopped worrying that they would suffer consequences for their recklessness. I did have some confusion this season with Yasmin. The last episode seems to confirm that she was abused by her father or one of his associates. But was that when she was a kid? Or did he assault her in her cabin on the boat? I found those flashbacks hard to follow.

The interaction with the lady on the boat indicated she had been sexually abused as a child, I think.

Harry Lawtey as the new Bond -
yay or nay?

Some folks are debating on Reddit.

It's deliberately ambiguous. She was def in sexual situations and around sexual behavior but it's not clear if she herself was abused.

He's gorgeous but can he do tough / slick?

The first film could be a Bond prequel, before he’s recruited to MI6. It would be quite interesting to have the new Bond basically “grow” from a fresh face young man in his late 20s until age 50 or so. The franchise could easily get 6 films out of him.

Lawtey is just over 6’ tall, so he could definitely bulk up with the right training and diet.

I like this suggestion better than most of the other names in the mix, which are either boring (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) or too old now (Dev Patel) or both (Henry Cavill).

Dev Patel is not old but he does read as older than he is.

I thought Robert’s character was absolutely heartbreaking. Between the death of his mother, with whom he obviously had a very difficult relationship, to the father who started a new family that didn’t include Rob, to Yasmin constantly toying with him and then betraying him with that ridiculous moron, Henry… Rob just broke my heart. All he wanted was to be loved.

At least it ended with him having some success. He is the only character I really loved.

Hated: HARPER - stone cold b****
Eric - not only an ahole, but so incredibly unattractive
Yasmin - narcissistic, spoiled, and selfish
Rishi - narcissistic, selfish, addict

Connor, maybe - but Eric?? He was vile till the end.

Is anyone watching the latest season? I find myself very bored by it so far!

I loved the first three seasons, but yeah, I've been starting to get a bit bored by it. I also feel like they're forcing these characters who would've otherwise cut ties to be together. I'm a bit torn on the decision. Like on one hand, it doesn't feel natural, but on the other hand, it does make a bit of sense that they would continue circling around each other since those upper-crust circles do tend to be incestuous and Harper is in a career that relies on networking.

Agree with both of you. This is after watching ep 1, having a hard time motivating to watch ep 2.
