Picture this: a luxury resort in the Caribbean, not far from perfection other than it’s riddled with tourists who make up for their lack of manners with immense wealth. Of course, that all changes when the teenage daughter of one family is found dead. No, it’s not a third season of The White Lotus – it’s Disney+’s new series Saint X.
This psychological drama (which admittedly has a very similar premise to Mike White’s award-winning oeuvre) tells the story of the harrowing death of Alison Thomas (West Duchovny). She’s killed while on holiday with her parents (Betsy Brandt and Michael Park) and her shy little sister, Claire (Kenlee Townsend). The tragedy quickly becomes sensationalised in the media and, despite no one being convicted, two black men working at the resort are quickly pinned as the ones behind her rape and murder.
