Posh resort in Honolulu. Alexandra Daddario thinks she may have made a mistake marrying pathetic Jake Lacy (Fosse/Verdun, Girls). Lonely Jennifer Coolidge finds peace with therapist Natasha Rothwell. Murray Bartlett is the oily hotel manager (who's very funny). Then we have controlling CEO mum Connie Britton, dad Steve Zahn (with swollen balls), precocious daughter Sydney Sweeney (and her friend Brittany O'Grady) and brother Fred Hechinger.
It's the latter who's story is the most satisfying, as he's initially addicted to Internet porn but loses his phone and other devices on the beach; ends up communing with nature and befriends a group of Hawaiian rowers, finally stays behind (against his parents' wishes).
With its distinctive music by Cristobal Tapia de Veer, a fun experience. White wrote The Good Girl, Orange County, School of Rock, series like Enlightened and the School of Rock follow-up.
Season Two has already been confirmed and will take place in a different White Lotus resort. HBO.
