About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sun-soaked, morally messy relationship drama about privilege and jealousy with a cautionary edge; Not for you if you can’t stand bratty leads or slow, soap-opera plotting.
Pros: Riviera escapism; stylish, glossy mood; strong supporting presence | Cons: shallow characters; uneven acting; melodrama feels forced
