Nine strangers nearing their breaking points will attempt to open up and find happiness with the help of five eclectic alternative healers on the new TBS reality series Lost Resort.
According the TBS, while embarking on this exotic wellness retreat, the group will take part in exercises ranging from rage rituals and vulnerability circles to orgasmic healing and more!
“As the emotional barriers crumble, the upstairs/downstairs drama explodes; the motley crew hooks up, breaks up and opens up in ways they’d never expect,” the series synopsis reads.
“From a married couple on the brink, to a mother/daughter pair with serious trust issues and a hothead with a painful past, the guests comes from all walks of life hoping to leave better than they arrive.”

This looks interesting, but Its the kind of show I wish was on Hulu or Netflix, because I think it will get lost, and also because its the kind of show that seems more “bingeworthy” than waiting week to week for an episode, AND commercials.
