There’s so little comedy or thrills along the way, but there are long scenes of them learning more about strange things that happened in the past, either in personal flashbacks or in the Sam & Violet timeline. The characters simply don’t do a whole lot in this story, across eight half-hour episodes. There is no villainous force in the story, despite the Frias family being prefaced that way as domineering and ominous, but we learn more about the far-reaching empire from its rejected son Balthasar who becomes a main character in the adventure, as supported by employee Luna ( Gabriela Cartol), who also knows the old resort's cryptic secrets. They both used to work for an eccentric named Alex ( Ben Sinclair) who owned the Oceana Vista Resort before the hurricane destroyed the property 15 years ago, along with other strange events. “The Resort” opens to a small world of kooky characters meant to have surprising sincerities, many of them given loving performances. He’ll get into all that, in great detail. Some of this detective work involves sneaking around the abandoned Oceana Vista Resort, where they run into Baltasar Frias ( Luis Gerardo Méndez), whose last name holds a lot of power, contrary to his outcast nature. Emma is fixated on learning the truth, and when she opens up to Noah joining him, they use news reports and Sam's text messages to fill in the blanks. She found the phone of Sam ( Skyler Gisondo), which had never been a part of the previous investigation it’s the first piece of evidence that links him to a different missing person, Violet (Nina Bloomgarden), who was also staying at the Oceana Vista Resort in 2007 and also disappeared during a massive hurricane. The first couple of episodes have this sense of chase, especially as Emma (Milioti) and Noah (Harper) pursue a story of missing young people while on a marriage-healing vacation in Mexico. Instead, “The Resort” uses a mystery to create the illusion of movement, in this case of going on a kooky adventure.
Mikogo resort review series#
Here is a series that is more or less all exposition, all clues and memories, and it barely feels like a plot.
