Creator/writer/director Mike White continues his wickedly funny exploration of the dark underside of high-end tourism, shifting the action to Thailand in this third season. As always, it begins with a death, and the fun comes in flashing back to follow the increasingly weird behaviour of a bunch of Western holidaymakers to its tragic conclusion. This time around they include a seemingly mismatched couple (Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood), a group of longtime friends (Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan) and a secretive family headed by Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey. Clever, eccentric and at times deeply disturbing, it’s a real chronicle of our times, with wonderful performances and memorable dialogue. “Piper, nooooo!”
