The White Lotus (2021)

Each season checks a fresh batch of wealthy guests into a luxury resort for a week and lets the staff watch them crack. Mike White's anthology has moved from Hawaii to Sicily to Thailand, and the formula never stales because the guests are so convinced of their own goodness while treating the employees as furniture. It is as much social satire as murder mystery, with a body promised in the opening minutes. A fourth season set in Saint-Tropez began filming in April 2026, so this is the one to catch up on now. Expect slow-burn dread rather than gags.
