Aisha Harris

Of course, if you've seen some Bong Joon-ho movies like Parasite, The Host, Memories of Murder, he's a very recognizable face and he's always great to see.

But I agree with you, Walter, that it does feel as though that subplot turned plot, it just becomes kind of unwieldy because there's just too many other things now.

I mean, Gene, you did mention it felt less like a class situation, but I did feel like it kind of turned into that with that Korean subplot because...

We learned after a while that, like, it's not just about this very, like, sexless, unhappy marriage between Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan.

It's also, like, they are in debt.

They are drowning in debt.

They are doing illegal things to try and, like, make their dreams come true and try to, like, put a patch over this leaking boat.

I know.

It kind of is, in many ways, like a keeping up with the Joneses type of season, right?

I can see that.

It felt less fresh than the last season.

It felt more like White Lotus to me.

And that's not necessarily a compliment.

Like, have I seen every season of White Lotus so far?

Yes.

Do I find pleasure in it?

The fact that I have, maybe not.

And that was kind of where I felt about this season.

But they're not even rich, though.

To me, the more interesting relationship, it's still not the most original, but the Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan characters, they have this proximity to wealth.
