  • The show has been praised as a sharp social satire.

  • Written by Mike White,

  • it delves into how wealthy people often become their worst selves on vacation.

  • There's one character in particular from season one,

  • a hotel employee and spa manager named Belinda, played by the actress Natasha Rothwell.

  • Belinda is warm and patient and truly wants to help the privileged guests who come to the hotel,

  • even if they're their own worst enemies.

  • wealthy white woman named Tanya, played by Jennifer Coolidge.

  • Tanya becomes fixated on Belinda's healing presence.

  • In this scene, the two of them are talking at dinner.

  • Yeah.

  • Cause rich people, they're the ones that, you know.
