    Just watched penultimate episode and can't wait for the finale. Every goal they outlined here, from character development to multi-layered performances...they achieved ALL of them and THEN some. Connie Britton used such a perfect word: "nuance." As extreme as some of the plot's circumstances can be, how they are depicted & the cumulative result are never less than exquisitely nuanced.

    After having worked both the scuba and spa department at this particular Four Seasons, I am so elated with this show, the cast, the script, the themes. It’s so spot on! Great job Mike White and actors/actresses. Kinda missed the mark on the believability of the staff though. Resort manager of that high end of a resort can’t be that reckless. Fired in an instant. And the part where Kai steals from the Mossbachers. Security cameras for one and a guy that good natured, wouldn’t resort himself to that kind of petty thievery no matter what resentment he had. I get it for the plot’s purpose. But aside from that, so spot on. Belinda’s ulterior motive to get Tania to follow through with her offer and the relationship between those two is a classic scenario seen in the spa setting at the FS… so great! Amazing job!

And so, it’s funny to me that I most enjoyed Jake Lacy’s part in this interview. His delight while listening to Jennifer Coolidge reminds me that these people are consummate actors, they are not the characters themselves.
