[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved it. Gorgeous scenery and home, acting was amazing, plot was interesting: actually no cult at all and the women were sort of like mermaids: men blamed them for their own wrecked lives bc they had been too alluring to resist, when really they only had themselves to blame. I really hated Peter, what a weak guy. [/quote]

Kiki was right - they all worked for him.

I’m the one who binged it immediately. What a refreshing revelation - the mermaids (Devon, in her scuba gear, swimming to try and rescue Simone) were a sailor’s savior; the siren, a sailor’s doom. All of it is a myth, if not a formalized, recognized iteration of Greek mythology. The tempting women just destroy the men, hey hey. The lobotomized chorus lip-syncing “W.A.P.” and explaining to Devon that their respective men came onto them and saved them from service careers were finessed touches - so out there that it is in its own way a finessed plot point.

[b]Peter could afford with his salt of the earth roots from a thousand years ago be taken as ‘good’ by the staff, just a simple guy with chowdah and quahogs and a simple pour-over coffee, not a thrown-away smoothie or an eyelash window. It’s the wife, and the P.A., who are the monsters![/b] So he’s totally free to say to his just-dumped wife, as if in an aside, hey, maybe I’ll have another baby…sorry you were infertile.

Again, this was WAY better than it had any right to be and for me, it is WAY better than any of Big Little Lies, better than White Lotus excepting parts of season 3 (Fahey was the best part of season 2 by far). I hope Fahey has an amazing career, I love her, and I love Julianne Moore for not freezing her face and taking a ‘fun’ role. [/quote]

Garden variety misogyny. [/quote]
