Yup. Fell asleep 30 minutes in.
More than other franchises, the mish mash of women here just doesn’t work. You have two (Nina and Sara) that may have some interesting insight on the UAE and how it is transforming. Then you have 3 that could say something interesting about being a black woman in the middle east and how opportunities for them compare to the “west”. And then you have dumb idiot Caroline, who has everything handed to her including smoothies in bed by a masked servant. CS rode into Dubai with her leftover crumbs of LoL fame and a divorce settlement, and rode that D list fame wave all the way to this moment. In a weird and obscure way, she is giving me Johnny Depp vibes - over the hill, believes her own hype, ego out of control, some people inexplicably love her and others see right through her. She just yucks me out
. And that Daily Beast review is spot on about Ayan - too many sound bites, she needs to settle down
ETA: of course she and Sergio (and some of the other women) support Johnny Depp by reposting memes. They are SO
bleeping stupid it’s unbelievable.
