The Resort 2022

A twisty, time-hopping thriller with a strong premise and an even stronger cast

Our Take (by Renee Cuisia)

The Resort may start off as a familiar murder mystery, but it quickly unfolds into a multi-genre feat re-filled with new characters and questions each episode. Set in the Yucatan forest and embarking on some mind-bending, time-hopping journeys, The Resort is lush and trippy at the onset, unafraid to take its viewers deep into its version of a rabbit hole. 

You wouldn’t expect less from the creators of Mr. Robot and Palm Springs, the latter of which also stars Cristin Milioti in a twisty vacation adventure. Milioti of course steals the show as a woman who would rather drown herself in a police-level investigation than deal with her own existential problems, but the show’s strong cast, which includes The Good Place’s William Jackson Harper and Parks and Recreation’s Nick Offerman solidifies The Resort as one of the most intriguing and exciting shows today. 

Notable Critics

"Think “Romancing the Stone” meets a bottle of S.P.F. 50—this is made for high-summer bingeing."

— Rachel Syme

"It’s a show that thrives on reminding anyone watching that time and memory are never quite as solid as we want them to be."

— Steve Greene

Synopsis

An anniversary trip puts a marriage to the test when a couple finds themselves embroiled in one of Yucatan's most bizarre unsolved mysteries.
