Meghann is doing a fantastic job. She was a highlight this episode. I love the subtle darkness in Daphne

[@soupnfresh]

Think she's the killer and kills her husband. Her kids dad is the trainer.

100% She's a FANTASTIC actress. Out acts the adorable Theo James, sorry have to say it.

[@jena.alexia]

She's a good "face actress". Conveys so much without saying anything.

[@danzafrir2900]

I’d 10/10 take Daphne on a vacation. Girl knows how to have a good time and won’t let anything stop her.

[@WhyAreYouRunning356]

Theos natural speaking voice is SO DIFFERENT from his characters, not just because of his accent either. Great performances across the board, the cast is amazing.

As much as I loved season 1...season 2 is so above that in terms of intrigue. So many layers to this season. It's a crazy Italian Opera at the highest level. And Andrey Plaza is this seasons standout. Whatever awards she gets for this she deserves.

[@LucasNauan]

This is really a grownup show. Incredibly crafted and full of nuances. Mike White deserves his recent praise.

[@bilalasghar6389]

Show has lot of intrigue value...but the hotel itself is not adding much flavor compared to first season...in first season hotel had a personality of its own and it added lot of its individual flavor to storytelling...in season 2, Cicily is doing that job not the hotel.

[@dfa3366]

@@bilalasghar6389 what? The hotel is shown all the time. Dinner is eaten at the hotel. The beach club. Breakfast at the terrace. The hotel rooms. The escort ladies are always at the hotel. What do you want..,, the hotel to start singing?

Meghann is such a brilliant actress. She conveys her emotions brilliantly while watching her and it's just effortless!

[@reeves326]

And she is so beautiful too

[@hardcandy9880]

Their marriage "works" because they learned how to trade honesty and trust for passion and connection. They pretend everything is fine, and that makes everything seem fine. Versus Ethan and Harper's honest and authentic but lucklaster and bickering relationship. In the end, Ethan and Harper learned a thing or two from Cameron and Daphne, and as twisted as that was, it reignited their marriage and saved it. While Daphne and Cameron did not learn anything from Harper and Ethan's honesty.

[@user-zx3cn2nx2o]

Captured it so well...someone said it! (Truth be told, epecially the last line.)

[@RealSuccessfulYouTubeChannel]

For me, Harper is the person who is affected by the news but doesn't make any changes to the world other than become bitter. Where Daphne is more of a delusional type, but they end up in a similar position despite their different approaches.

[@hardcandy9880]

@@RealSuccessfulKZbinChannel Well Harper is a lawyer, so she does help people still. But I think she's the type who thinks she is better than others because she cares or 'woke'. Daphne is the typical out of touch elite, but not just because she is elite, but because she is more drawn to her own personal problems.

[@rogerlamb3810]

Meghan is killing it this season! Her character has so many layers

[@TheDefeatest]

she totally deserved a golden globe nomination!

[@virgoejs1954]

That girl is the real villain

[@Garcelle1987]

Lovely to see Meghann in such a big show. Wonderful actress and so charismatic 🙌

[@briankennedy1192]

Hilarious and great acting Michael Imperioli this season what a show.

[@bascal133]

He is so under appreciated, I hope he gets more role off this because he has been amazing in such a none over the top showy way like Tanya for example.

[@kobrakitsch877]

Michael Imperioli and F. Murray Abrahams both deserve to be nominated in the male acting categories of the TV award giving bodies next year.

Meghann better get an Emmy nom, her Daphne was incredible! That’s me, like I relate to her sm. Proud of you Meghann

[@ginao6810]

I agree. It’s the kind of role that’s easy to overlook; it’s not as obnoxiously tragic as Coolidge or biting as Plaza. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

As for the body in the ocean, I’m guessing the son kills his dad after finding out the dad slept with the girl he’s falling for. He’s so sweet, that would be a twist.

A healthy person cannot love their spouse, yet cheat on them. Fear and ego drives those who behave that way. Although couples can help each other to evolve it's not a spouse's role to help their mate mature.

These two were crazy good. I do feel though, that the roles or Daphne and Harper should have been reversed, and Aubrey Plaza should have played Daphne and Meghan Fahy should’ve been Harper
