Their vacation will take them on an unexpected trip. Starring William Jackson Harper and Cristin Milioti, and from the creators of Palm Springs and Mr. Robot, the brand new series The Resort is now streaming, only on Stan.
i personally find it all fine for the series to refer to machiavelli's works for inspiration for real-life action. i don't think too many people would become too influenced by this show's usage of machiavelli's ideals. There are many realistic things that can happen, so i don't think that this show's portrayal of 'realistic' mc would imply that machiavelli's methods would be the only viable way.
personally, i think the series is doing just fine with how they're using the works to progress the mc's influence over his nation. i don't find anything from this series to be too disturbing, either, since it makes sense, for the fictional world that they're in.
what i think is sort-of happening is a clash between fantasy, with the different monsters and species and magic, and reality, with references to ruling methods or philosophies from our real-life history, and using machiavelli's work would just be one way to lead this medieval-like nation. things take time to happen, and in what is presented as a very unstable situation, with a nation that could quickly cease to exist, resorting to doing what the mc chose to do makes sense to me, with the expectation that things could change somewhere along the line in the future, even if that future is long after the mc's death, mirroring 'realistic' ruling government changes in our own world's history.
sort-of tl;dr, but basically i think the use of machiavelli in this series is fine, i don't find its usage to be disturbing or influential to anyone young and/or impressionable, and i think things even make sense quite well for a mix of fantasy and realism based on our species' history and experiences.
regardless, i recommend this series. don't think there are any hidden agendas to this series, either, besides just being entertaining while trying to sell the source materials, and stuff like that.
The show is weird. I swear I just watched two episodes that were just muckbang.
Now I'm on one where they make a big deal about the "king" taking a vacation, so that the common folk will notice him taking a break, thus not work themselves to death to keep up his pace of work ethic. He suggests just taking a break to loaf around and be lazy in his bedroom, but is told that his vacation needs maximum visability, so that the people will recognize and see him doing it. Then they put on disguises when they go out and try to hide their identities because...¿why? It defeats the purpose.
It's interesting enough, but it's like they lost track of their own motives.
