I love a good girls\u2019-trip narrative, so naturally I set my sights on the new Peacock adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand\u2019s bestselling 2023 novel The Five-Star Weekend.<\/p>\n
Outside of the aforementioned girls\u2019-trip narrative, I decided not to google a single thing before diving into the episode. Instead, I\u2019m betting on being drawn to at least one thing, which happens to be D\u2019Arcy Carden<\/a>, who plays Brooke Kirtley. Let\u2019s have some thoughts, shall we?<\/p>\n Darlene Love deserves more cultural Christmas credit than she gets, TBH.Also, now I wish it were Christmas, even though it\u2019s almost Emma Christmas (my Cancer-season birthday).Hey, it\u2019s Jennifer Garner!<\/a>Whenever a food influencer says \u201cYou won\u2019t believe how easy these are\u201d about a recipe, I automatically disbelieve it.Oh no, someone died!Indeed, Jennifer Garner\u2019s husband died!Oh hell yeah, it\u2019s Heather from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.Not the Le Creuset collab!<\/a>Not to mention the Jenna Bush Hager cameo.Making a chicken pot pie at eight years old seems\u2026dangerous.Is it weird that I can cut onions without crying? Am I a cyborg?Granted, I\u2019m currently single, but if my spouse ever dies, nobody will have to convince me to convene my girlfriends on Nantucket, that\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.Love a little women\u2019s-soccer subplot.Everyone watches women\u2019s sports!<\/a>And one featuring Regina Hall, no less!It is truly impossible for me to witness Carden onscreen and not see Janet from The Good Place.<\/a>CHLO\u00cb SEVIGNY?<\/a>Oh, I just went from \u201cwatching this for work\u201d to \u201clocked in.\u201dMy dog hates this beautiful onscreen dog, in case you were wondering.God, East Coast beach wealth rocks.I mean, not politically or environmentally, but spiritually.\u201cI\u2019m on-island\u201d\u2026LOL.\u201cEvery day another Hadid gets an air fryer and decides they\u2019re a chef\u201d\u2026LOL again.That said, not too much on my Hadid girlies, now!Come on, that feta pasta<\/a> was legit.Well, let\u2019s not call Nantucket \u201cthe \u2019Tuck.\u201dOoh, what are D\u2019Arcy and her husband deposition-ing about?God, I need a giant beach hat for my own coastal girls\u2019 trip next week.I don\u2019t really get Sevigny\u2019s character, but I trust her to make me get it eventually.Judy MF Greer! I know that\u2019s right!I hate all of D\u2019Arcy\u2019s outfits so much.I love Regina\u2019s, though!I can never remember who this handsome middle-aged white guy is.I\u2019m going to avail myself of IMDb.Oh duh, it\u2019s Timothy Olyphant.The concept that a grown-ass widow\u2019s friends from various life stages wouldn\u2019t already know one another from her cursed bachelorette party\u2026fake as hell.GEMMA CHAN!Ooh, I like those pot holders.What\u2019s this hint of Big Little Lies\u2013esque intrigue, now?Okay, I\u2019ll probably watch episode two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I love a good girls\u2019-trip narrative, so naturally I set my sights on the new Peacock adaptation of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542129,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60,1905,93933,514],"class_list":["post-542128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-textaboveleftsmall","tag-tv-movies","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
