When Kevin and Matthew McManus conceived of Redux Redux, a lean and mean revenge thriller about a grieving mother named Irene (Michaela McManus) who travels infinite parallel universes to seek revenge against the killer of her daughter, the multiverse was barely a glimmer in Marvel Studios’ eye. Everything Everywhere All at Once was still six years away from winning Best Picture at the Oscars, and general audiences couldn’t even conceive of “multiverse fatigue.”

It was a decade ago when the sibling directing duo, best known for their work on Netflix shows Cobra Kai and American Vandal, first began working on Redux Redux. And in the years since, the multiverse has gone from novel idea to next great thing in Hollywood to tired gimmick. “We rode that whole thing,” Matthew McManus tells Inverse.

“When we were first coming up with this idea 10 years ago, there [weren’t] that many parallel universe movies and shows out there, and so it felt like an exciting subgenre to dive back into and remind audiences of,” McManus adds. “And sure enough, after we wrote it, it really took off and has become so ubiquitous.”

Oceanfront escapes often blur together. What actually changes the experience isn’t the view, but the density — how many people you see, how much space you’re given, and whether quiet is preserved or constantly interrupted.

COMO Parrot Cay sits on its own private island in Turks and Caicos, reachable only by boat, which immediately limits foot traffic and resets the pace. A mile-long stretch of sand stays uncrowded, with every beachfront accommodation offering direct beach access and a private pool. Beach Houses and select villas include dedicated COMO Butler Service, creating a sense of ease without spectacle. Wellness is built into the rhythm of the stay through the COMO Shambhala Retreat, alongside tennis, complimentary water sports, and nutrition-led dining. It’s an island experience designed around space, privacy, and continuity — where luxury shows up in how little you have to share.
