Rich Americans (mostly) behaving badly - it's good satirical TV. Season 2 had better and more varied locations but needed a unifying character like the Aussie hotel manager in Hawaii.

Absolutely detested Jennifer Coolidge in S1, but to my surprise the character grew on me in S2.

I had a feeling it would be Thailand after I read somewhere there was going to be some sort of Buddhist theme going on in S3.

Nice setting, but it's so cheap there. Wonder how they'll show the indulgence of the ultra rich.

It's cheap if you're happy to sleep on a bunk bed in a room with 11 other people yeah. There are also plenty of places for the rich to have their way, like everywhere else in the world.

True. But before the pandemic, Thailand was one of the most popular places for young people to go to because of the low COL.

you know they're not mutually exclusive, right? It's possible to go to some countries both with and without lots of money. Thailand has some of the most luxurious resorts in the world.

The UK is a cheap place to live, have you been to Bradford? It’s also quite expensive, have you been to London?

Fair enough, I was thinking Bali might've been more suitable, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

Bali isn’t Buddhist like the rest of Indonesia. It’s predominantly Hindu.

It was surprisingly easy to get weed in Bali for somewhere that gives you the death penalty for it.

I remember reading an interview with Mike White and he said he wanted to film each season in a different continent so Asia makes sense.

I bet he does. The locations in this are absolutely stunning. Great way to see some of the most beautiful sights the world has to offer in absolute luxury.

I have been in the restaurant and pool from season 1, it's absolutely breathtaking.
