Season one was solid, but not great. And that's with Armond really carrying the show. I'm holding off until the end of S2 and checking reviews before spending time on this one. Aubrey Plaza does tickle my fancy, though.

My thoughts exactly. I really liked S1, but I thought it’s strength was the characters and actors portraying them.

Plus, the lone holdover was my least favorite character by far. She was the weak link in S1 for me.

Give it time to breathe. It has 100 on rotten tomatoes and all the critics got to see the first four episodes to screen..

It won’t be as good as season one, but it looks like it has potential. Not crazy about the casting but I do love F Murray Abraham.

I feel like the two couples look all over the place in age

They do have some hotties. That Italian whore has a smoking body

shite, I didn't realize it was starting this weekend. I'll definitely check S2 out. I wonder if my DVR recorded it last night.

I laughed when April Ludgate told her husband or boyfriend. Yeah, dude just got naked in the room.

Husband just said "that seems normal" haha

Also, I must have missed it, is he the rich one or the other guy that got the swimsuit the rich one?

They both have money, but swimsuit guy mentioned at one point in the episode something like "now that he's loaded" or something. So I think that quiet cuck guy's wealth is more recent.

I bet he went unlock that adjoining room door when she went look for the sunscreen. Definitely won't be the last time we see the two of them alone

Decent start to the season. The issue is the hotel lady character can't hold a candle to Armond.

The thing about Armand is that not only was he the best character, he was injected into each storyline and tied them all together.

I think that missing component is what will hurt the most.

Nice! Season 2 starts off just like season 1. Whole bunch of nothing happening at a beautiful resort. To this day, I can’t figure out why I watched and enjoyed season 1 lol. Guess I will do the same this season

Watched the first episode just now. I actually liked it a lot. Seems to have solid characters and set up several different plot lines fairly seamlessly.

Yeah, seeing Chris weirded me out for a second. He looks so fricking old.

While I agree that this would’ve been better as a prequel with Armand in it, I think they could pull it off. I also thought Jennifer Coolidge wasn’t as bad this time around either (and I normally hate her).

The Italian hookers are the link between the parties. At least it looks that way based on the preview from next week.

Seems like this season’s cast paaaaaales in comparison to last season’s. The hotness has gone into the dumpster.


The guys are way hotter this season.

Either the hookers or one of the hotel staff will be the link between all the guests/storylines, but none of them will be as interesting or entertaining as Armand.

i liked episode 1. Should be fun.

But, for me, i'm kind of over Coolidge and her dumb blonde routine. I was over it in the Watcher series too

I think that Coolidge is hilarious in this.

My reaction was probably too strong for episode one

But this does seem like a watered down re-hash of season one. Just sub locations and Sweeney’s character for Plaza.

I thought Coolidge was annoying in season 1 but her sex scene in this episode and the cheese being made by a blind nun in a basement had me loling

Eta: also, it's a penis not a sunset

I swear to god we better see the Italian girl’s tits or I swear. They look like absolute all-timers.

No doubt they are in the wrong room too, right? They’re in grandpa’s room and not dad’s for sure. Would be nice if we got the threeway they’re talking about, though.

Stifler’s mom’s storyline has always been the worst, zero clue how we have a second season with her.
