I thought she was great. Just snarky enough to be funny but not over the top.

Dakota fanning, just not attractive. She needs to do some tweaks to her hair and sort herself out a bit. It was to the point of being distracting. And no, I don’t need to hear about how I don’t get it because I’m not an ivy leaguer one percenter, thanks. My husband went to an ivy, I know many of his friends who are legacies, and I’ve been to Nantucket at least 15 times. I get it. Thanks. This, however, was a tv show.
So, the husband, Liev - not cute enough for the role. Megan Fahy a babe and a good actor, too old to be the 25 year old influencer. Nope. Eve - she is a good looking normal woman. Her skin looked really bad without makeup. Her features did not stand out. She was thick in the arms and limbs. She looked god awful in the running scene. You can say what you want, yes, she’s normal. She looked like a very average mom in her big sweatshirt. Again tv is aspirational and she is not. At all. Also her acting was atrocious. Benji, wtf did they do that to his hair for. Already plain and that did not help. Scooter or whatever - come on. Nobody is pining for that man. That’s a giant oops. The husband of Dakota Fanning and the maid were the best. Everyone else just really sucked and made what should’ve been fun so boring.

I thought Eve was gorgeous, but the running on the beach scene- wtf was that?? She moved like my 65 year old mother.

I actually thought it was Benji (what a stupid name!) all along because he was so creepy and odd. Not a fan of the actor. Eve Hewson is always good. Love Meghann Fahy - first time I ever saw her was in White Lotus and I thought she was fantastic. Dakota Fanning was good I thought. NK also good but the accent was terrible. LS was meh and I usually love him.

Why was NK’s accent terrible? It’s close to her real accent.

Her real accent is Australian. What she was doing in this show was a very affected British/continental-type of accent and it was beyond distracting. Not sure why they couldn't have just written her part as an Australian. There are complaints about it all over google.

I think her accent was supposed to be an affectation. She was pretending to be someone she wasn’t. Her brother’s accent was much different and rougher sounding so I understood her character to have adopted a more upper class type of accent as part of her facade.

+1 I think the entire show was tongue in cheek in a very very subtle way. They all knew the whole thing was a bit ridiculous, but it was entertaining and a mock up of the rich world. This is why the beginning fit so well too. Would rich people actually do a Bollywood dance? Maybe not, but everyone was having a good time and it lent a dystopian quality to the show that stuck with the entire thing. You (or at least I) still got sucked into the drama and the murder mystery but there was always a quality of absurdism to the production.

Amelia’s body type was perfect for the role and a great contrast to Greer. And how comfortable she was in her own skin unnerved Greer.

The awful brother even said, “at least my wife matches the wallpaper”

What did that even mean exactly??

The wallpaper and summer dresses were all stripe and floral patterns?
