Netflix has found its answer to The White Lotus – and the characters are actually likeable

After years of toxic marriages, crumbling facades, and dead bodies floating in paradise, Netflix has found a sunnier antidote to The White Lotus — its Tina Fey's new resort-set comedy The Four Seasons, which has quickly climbed to #1 on Netflix in the US and offers a refreshingly human alternative to the biting cynicism of its HBO cousin.

Based on Alan Alda’s 1981 romantic comedy, The Four Seasons is a breezy, witty look at friendship and midlife upheaval — minus the murder and emotional decay.
