Saint X

*“Because of Edwin, I lost everything but without him, I wouldn't have had anything to lose.”* - Gogo This show is literally one of the most touching and tragic love stories I've seen on TV. It's equally a splendidly written psychological and mystery thriller that keeps you guessing till the very end. If for no other reason, watch it because of these. The show follows, in parallel, the lives of two sisters - Emily Thomas (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and Alison Thomas (West Duchovny) - as one of them tries to uncover the circumstances that led to the death of the other while vacationing in the fictional Caribbean island of Saint X. Concurrently, it also follows the lives of two lifelong friends - Clive 'GoGo' Richardson (Josh Bonzie) and Edwin Hastings (Jayden Elijah) - who grew up on the island and one of whom is presently suffering the consequences of the aforementioned death. Without giving too much away, I highly recommend this series to any lover of a good story. It's similar in some ways to *The White Lotus*, only better. Much better. Ignore the negative ratings and reviews as most of them seem to have been part of a systematic prejudicial bombing campaign against this series. If I'd followed them, I'd have missed out on a great series big time.
