TV Parody – Grey Orchid

A clear and obvious send up of White Lotus, just like Scary Movie did to Scream.

Instead of being a 5 star resort in exotic locations, it is a chain of backpacker hostels, in exotic locations, where people are digital nomads. Morocco, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam…

Kick it off in Cairns, with travellers from UK, Ireland, France, Canada, US and Singapore.

The set-up is precisely the same. But instead of families and couples we have cliques. Well, and couples, and best friends travelling together.

The sex part is easy.

Scams. Cheap drugs. Full moon parties. Latching onto the rich tourists, even the White Lotus folk.

Crypto.

But also showing how the simple things in life, like basic local food and families, can be as enriching and vibrant as the rich have.

For every private beach the rich have, the backpackers have a secret nudist beach.

Mimic the seasons – money, sex, spirituality. Easily done with young backpackers.
