Deadly dull start, intriguing after 15 minutes in
jimcancook13 August 2022
This is a review of episode 1 only.

It's Saturday morning. I think I'm coming down with a touch of a summer cold; just congested as heck. I make coffee and turn the TV on. I'm looking for something frothy to ease into the day. It's one of those TVs with a Roku baked right in. The sponsored ads start floating across the screen and I see one for The Resort. And I'd seen the ad before. Jump over to IMDB to check it out.

Hmmm. 7.1 rating, OK. I see William Jackson Harper, who I loved as Chidi in The Good Place, but I've never seen him in anything else so I figure its worth a look just to see what he can do in a different context. Who else we got here? Oooo, Nick Offerman. I know he really doesn't act so much as just be Nick Offerman but it works. Dylan Baker, whose name I never knew but I've seen him in many supporting roles.

The 1st 15 minutes are dull, but so am I this morning so it's OK. Just stick with it until Emma turns on the Razr about 15 minutes in and starts snooping. I'm not going to tell you anything else. I think you'll be hooked.

I'm not going to review this series any further until I reach the last episode or if it tanks and I decide to bail.

Take a chance. Risk the 15 minutes.

Oh, BTW, the coffee cleared my head. I think I'll go out for a bit. After I watch a few more episodes.

Already hooked

One episode in and they have me hooked so far...

A lot goes on in the first episode.....

Let's hope the rest of the season is just as good.....

There's still a lot of unanswered questions but I guess you would expect that on season one episode one.

The Disappointment of Time
bobcobb30115 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
An uneven pilot but one that really only took a few minutes to get going. They did a good job establishing the scenery and what is going on here: a married couple with a lot of layered issues trying to take a trip to get things back on track. And now with all of that it turns out they are going to get something much more than they bargained for.

Excited about the possibilities of this show, but the writing and acting feels quite unnatural at times. A good guest cast for sure in both timelines so we'll see how it all unfolds in the rest of the season. A lot of promise with this show though, enough here to keep me invested.

Dull and preposterous

Applies to 1st episode 8/24/22 on NBC

Will watch 1 more episode to see if it improves - this pilot episode should have been gripping and enticing, but was very lackluster and amateurish. A married couple, with absolutely zero chemistry, begin investigating a 15-year-old missing persons case based on an old cellphone found in the woods while on vacation near Cancun.

Unless things pick up, all I see are incredibly dull characters and a lifeless plot.
