Anyone watching? It’s like White Lotus but without the wit, charm or menace.
And everyone is whispering, which drives me insane. May not get beyond ep 2 😡😞

I started to watch it and then wanted to give the husband a good shake - and when did Jessica Raine get so soppy?

😂 no one seems to like each other very much

I’ve binged it. The end has a mild twist, but the characters act like teenagers on a school trip, but with more drinking.

I think I’ve read the book, but I thought it was set in France?

I thought it was absolute tosh ... but I wasn't feeling well and the weather was so hot, so I watched the whole thing. It didn't improve.

I watched it all, very disappointing

Yes I'm watching it, for no other reason it's so hot right now, it's easy to transport mentally to Greece. It passes the time, 3 episodes in, yes it's probably tosh, I'll keep going and then probably wish I hadn't bothered.

Haha! I’m trying so hard to believe these people would have gone on holiday together!

I am quite enjoying it so far. The self indulgent husband with the people pleaser wife. The husband with the trophy wife. The friend who invites an unwelcome extra. All good fun!

I binge watched the whole series yesterday.
I was determined to watch every episode because I thought it would improve as it progressed.
Couldn't get passed the bad language, do friends really use such crude language when they talk to each other ? I have never sworn like that.
I made the mistake of googling where the series was filmed and it wasn't Greece at all it was filmed in Malta and Gozo.
The series just got sillier as it progressed and I was cross that I had wasted time watching it.

Agree. Watched the first episode then the second, gave up at the third. Loved the scenery but the rest was a waste of time. How did they spend so much time in the hot sun with their fair skins?
