Interesting choice. I hope the show doesn't lose its sharp social satire by adding too many big names. The beauty was in the ensemble. Fingers crossed Mike White keeps the balance.
France as the location is perfect for the show's vibe of luxury and underlying dysfunction. Hope they explore some local culture beyond the clichés. Also, curious about this new actor Caleb Edwards.
Coogan in a Mike White project? That's a dream combo. His work in 'Philomena' showed such depth. Expecting a hilarious yet poignant performance. The wait for Season 4 just got harder!
Good news, but I hope the show doesn't become too Western-centric in its humor. Some of the jokes in past seasons flew over our heads. A little more universal relatability would be nice, yaar.
Exciting! The French setting promises stunning visuals. Hope the storyline is as gripping as Sicily and Thailand. Weekend plans sorted when this releases! 🍿
