If you know many TV and film writers, you’re probably aware that they can be a cynical bunch. The longer a person has been doing this, in fact, the more dismissive they may very well be toward new movies or shows that look at all familiar or derivative—it just gets harder and harder over time to summon up the enthusiasm to watch hours of similar programming when you feel like you inevitably have a sense of how it’s all going to turn out.
It does, however, occasionally make for a different kind of enjoyable experience, when you’re forced to officially dump your expectations by the wayside by a show that continuously befuddles you.
Masha is the New Age queen at the center of the absurdly named Tranquillum House, the exclusive health and wellness resort in which our “strangers” all find themselves currently expanding their consciousness under the influence of a variety of mind-altering drugs. She has exactly the sort of ethereal, mysterious presence you would expect this character to have—aloof, exotic, beguiling, the kind of woman who invariably gets what she wants, and convinces you that it wasidea all along.
And if there was any doubt that we’re meant to sympathize with Masha, it should have disappeared the moment the series introduced its most mysterious plotline—the fact that Masha is receiving a regular stream of cryptic death threats on her phone from someone who seems to have complete access to Tranquillum House.
