"White Lotus (HBO Max)"


  

          

I feel like nobody is talking about this show but holy shit is the entire cast fantastic.

You're best off going into it knowing nothing and just bathing in the anxiety and the uncomfortableness of it all. Best ensemble cast I've seen in a minute...it really has been pretty incredible.

Get on board - there's only 2 more episodes left and it FLIES by.

      Same hurdle as Succession, just condensed
Aug 12th 2021
16
      Yeah, but from what I understand the dialogue in Succession is better.
Aug 13th 2021

      I think White Lotus has a stronger POV on their characters.

           Its that. But it also shows how money corrupts

her idea
Aug 17th 2021

Word. Honestly, I was kinda disgusted by her in the last 2 eps.
Aug 17th 2021

      In a show with really shit people...she may have been the worst.
Aug 17th 2021

Aug 18th 2021
32
      Yes.
Aug 18th 2021
33
      why?
Aug 18th 2021
34
           Well, first and foremost...
Aug 18th 2021

Aug 18th 2021
38
           Precisely.
Aug 18th 2021
41
           *shrug* none of that makes her a terrible person imo
Aug 18th 2021
44
                it does to me. she'd vote for Trump w/ a smile

She went thru that exact process like 4x this season lol.
Dec 13th 2022
170
Yeah, and I think she was more hurt by Harper than Cam
Dec 13th 2022
179
      Agree wholeheartedly with all of this.
