From Mike White (HBO's Enlightened), The White Lotus is a sharp social satire following the exploits of various employees and guests at an exclusive Hawaiian resort over the span of one highly transformative week. Checking into the luxurious White Lotus are a young couple fresh off their fairytale wedding, a woman mourning the death of her mother, and a high-powered executive, accompanied by her less successful husband, their teen son, and college-age daughter, who's brought along her best friend for the trip. Looking to relax and rejuvenate in paradise, the vacationers are greeted by the resort manager and head of spa services, who soon find themselves catering to their guests' every whim - no matter how unreasonable - while juggling stressors in their own lives. As darker dynamics emerge with each passing day, this biting six-episode limited series gradually reveals the complex truths of the seemingly picture-perfect travelers, cheerful hotel employees, and idyllic locale itself.

Season 1 (2021) (S01)
What The Bear is to restaurants, The White Lotus is to hotels. Both are in the industry for me, so it's definitely an issue that's very close to my heart, plus it's all set in Hawaii and it's nicely exotic. But it's more drama than comedy, though some there are some entertaining black-humored. The cast is great the clash of the Hollywood boobies with Alexandra Daddario and Sydney Sweeney is real eye-candy, the director was very crazy, the twists and turns and the nicely escalated relationships on all sides are good, and who ends up being in the casket, I really didn't expect. I was expecting a more bizarre choice of characters though, after all, I know from the hotel business that you run into all sorts of weirdos, and these ones were even normal compared to reality, and they also could have pointed out the guests' complaints more, but otherwise I'm cool, it flows very well. 75%

Season 2 (2022) (S02)
The first season had the more attractive setting of Hawaii, not that Sicily isn't beautiful, but the Hawaiian exoticism had its charm. Yet I have to say that the second season has more interesting characters, better plot twists and overall I enjoyed it a lot more. Of the familiar faces, I liked Theo James, Aubrey Plaza and the return of Jennifer Coolidge. Simona Tabasco as the hooker was an instant crush, and for the biggest likable character there's Will Sharpe, I felt quite sorry for him, that relationship was pretty toxic. You really care about the characters, their development and their relationships are very well written, you hate the opening theme song of the first season and then love it and the final twist is really very good. Very entertaining, gripping and addictive, I'm glad I gave it a chance. 8/10.
