100% agree. S1 was a bit confusing for most people I’ve talked to about it. A murder takes place but nothing regarding the murder really occurs until the last episode or two where things build up, which I think threw most people off. Where the series shines is the in-between content. It’s not about the murder, that’s just a little icing on the cake to keep you guessing. The real filling is how each season explores the interactions between different groups of people.

The characters don’t need introductions, we as the viewer catch them right in the moment as if we were vacationers at the resort too. We slowly build stories for these characters and realize that everyone has little imperfections that creates tension throughout the show. Slowly these tensions rise and keep you guessing on which relationship or situation will have caused the murder we see in the first episode.

I’m glad they’re doing a season 3, I think there’s plenty of places to take the show from here. In my personal opinion though, I think they should end Jennifer Coolidge’s arc with this season and allow one of the current characters to overlap into the next one. It keeps things grounded in the same universe, but doesn’t bank on viewers liking the same actor/character season after season.
