The White Lotus (HBO not so Limited Series) (2 Viewers)

reviews are out and they're pretty positive if slightly cooler at 78 on metacritic currently. only the BBC's has been negative. I'm keeping my expectations at a decent level because I know this won't top season 2 but I still want to ENJOY some WELL WRITTEN TV!
 
Oh we are so BACK!

Obsessed how a show can make so little plot so watchable!

Loved the subtitles having the Thai script behind them, a very stylish approach

Loved how voyeuristic many shots are, setting up some kind of stalking plot I'm sure

Is the FABULOUS woman trans? I'm obsessed with her and can't wait for her performance next episode

And are the American kids in an incestuous love triangle?

Struggled a bit to get past the one from Sex Education being a different character, considering she has the same voice and very similar mannerisms. Hopefully it will get easier as she gets more depth to the character

omg Carrie Coon. Didn’t even notice when she’s not hosting market stalls.
 
I can’t wait to
find out which of these deeply unlikely people have been shot.

And yay incest!
 
The rumour mill is also swirling on S4's location, which seems that it will be back in Europe. I'm hoping for a Nordic Ski resort, or a hunting/golfing retreat on a CRAGGY OUTCROPPING.
 
Will we get a STEP-BROTHER reveal soon so we can enjoy the sexy incest plot in peace?
 
Rumour has it the brothers are going to be getting it on - hopefully with the dad (one of my favourite DILFs of all time, a DOAT if you will (and I would)).
 
I didn’t mind the Essex guy, we’ve all met him, maybe he was just too familiar that it took us out of the heightened glossy luxury, like if someone showed up in Call me by your Name shouting ‘ALRIIIIGHT GEEZ’.

Love that they’ve pulled this same stunt again with the girlfriend who looks and sounds like a Wallace & Gromit character!
 
First episode was promising enough. Everybody super unlikable, but I'm sure they'll peel back the layers a bit. I do miss Tanya though. :(
 
Pat Butcher taking to the stage, eating the stage, spitting out the stage and then flossing out what was still there was simply breathtaking do you agreeeee :disco:
 
Pat Butcher, Parker Posey's ludicrous accent and now Valentine. Serve, serve and serve!
What IS that accent? I’m leaning towards Baltimore/Maryland, but only because it sounds a bit John Waters-esque.

(btw - are those Aimee Lou’s real teeth?)

As a White Lotus newbie, I’ve been watching this season and it’s seriously boring as hell. I don’t understand any of the hype. 3 episodes of nothing so far, and a dreadful set of characters.

Bitch you watch Sanremo, you should be used to hours of dreadful characters doing nothing!
 
Dreadful characters is kind of the POINT. I don’t especially mind the slowness as the show is mainly a character study that slowly unwinds until the crescendo in the final episode, but this does feel especially slow. There’s probably too many storylines going on at once which is why it seems to take ages to get going (I couldn’t care less about the security guard or Belinda at this point)
 
Did we know that Tanya’s husband was back for this series? I seemed to have completely missed that in the promo.

2 eps in. So far really enjoying this show giving me absolutely nothing for a whole hour but completely drawing me in.

I didn’t clock it at first, but then I was like ‘DUH!’
 
Posey is incredible. The looks of revulsion were so varied and aspirational.

I assumed the yoga man was getting revenge for yoga being called boring, which was going to result in her storming back and having sex with him. Series 4 will need much more man candy moments.

I've no idea what happened, but I'll binge watch it all in one go soon.
