Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Saint X - Season One

Surely Saint X is more of a miniseries and not an ongoing story? But online all I can see is this potenially has more life in it on Hulu. Its not yet renewed or cancelled. However after a three-way cancellation spree on Amazon today, maybe Hulu will do a Thanksgiving Eve clear out tomorrow?

Anyway Saint X based on the novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin. Started streaming late April of this year.  This psychological drama follows the story of Emily Thomas on her dangerous mission to find out the truth what happened to her older sister, Alison, who was brutally murdered and raped on an idyllic trip to the Caribbean 20 years earlier.

It has heart, along with David Duchovny's daughter West in this lead as the Alison in the past. In the future Australian Alycia Debnam-Carey stars as Claire Emily Thomas.


Streaming in Australia on Disney+, this is far from the best Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' series I have watched this blog series. Also it has a poor man's White Lotus vibe with annoying rich asshole Americans at a hotel in paradise.

The themes of race and entitlement come up a bit, while as we peel back the episodes and get deeper into the eight episode season, we discover Gogo and Edwin have their own secrets from the past. Not just from the fateful Alison evening.

If you are waiting for your favourite US network series to return, or for another series to come back, this might fill the void if you need something you can whack on in the background. Also Australian TV is heading into a long, hot summer of the old non-ratings period. Although with shit like Big Brother and the cricket on, you could be mistaken for thinking we are deep in the midst of the non-ratings period already.

Either way next up I will finally get onto Amazon's Australian series The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.

See you next time!
