White Lotus - kinda f–king his uncle

Love a good dong to set the tone for a season of tv

 

Wife and I are going to start it tonight and she hates nudity in shows/films and I am now giddy to see her reaction.

 

greetings tv aficionados of tmb. considering starting this show with the gf bc we need a new one. how does this show rank in the HBO hierarchy

 

Really enjoying it. S1E5 right now

 

i thought it was pretty good. Im impressed with Aubrey Plaza’s acting thus far.

 

Thought episode 1 was fine. Has my interest for the season. Love the Italy setting.

 

I feel like last year it was pretty easy to identify what the commentary of the season was on. This one is a little murkier. Still good stuff so far.

 

Mike White is a genius for creating a show set in resorts in incredible destinations around the world

 

I have a feeling one or both of the hookers don’t make it

 

Probably just one person dies. My money is on Coolidge.

 

Weren’t there a bunch of dead bodies in the first scene?

 

I interpreted it as they found people who had drowned previously but maybe you’re right

 

The front desk guy tells the manager that there have been “a few” bodies found that week (in the opening scene).

 

Love the awkwardness and tension this show creates

think someone is going to snap and kill a few people

 

The actress who plays Lucia is stunning

 

Agree, she really does it for me.

 

Season 2 has been fine but isn’t quite doing it for me like season 1. Tough to beat all those characters from S1.

 

I feel tense like I’m watching a horror film but it’s just constant awkward moments and instead of jump scares you get laughs

 

its one of my five favorite shows since Covid started

 

The hotel manager and F Murray Abraham have been phenomenal. The scene with Michael Imperioli adding the prostitutes to his reservation was as funny as this show has been.

 

Tanya is so horrible

every scene with her is a tough watch

 

Class, intimacy, relationships and wealth, toxic masculinity and its evolution.

 

Let’s fun

 

Well yes. After 3 eps it's more blatant.

 

It's interesting to see a character with sex addiction be portrayed negatively on a show, as well as a woman being cheated on portrayed as cunning and "not a victim". I think this season is maybe a little less entertaining but more thought provoking than S1 so far.

 

I didn't really think about it until now but Albie's description of the godfather makes Daphne's episode a little more interesting. I think she's a really fascinating character.

 

I haven’t seen 3 yet. Gonna watch now.

 

Are there only 6 eps this season as well?

 

I think I saw it would be 7

 

Favorite characters top to bottom so far:

Valentina
Harper
Bert
Cameron
Mia
Lucia
Dominic
Daphne
Portia
Ethan
Piano man
Albie
Tanya
Greg

 

Harper too high

 

Any theories on

Spoiler

who the bodies in the water are?

 

The trip overnight was definitely planned by cam and daphne to isolate Ethan with Cam right

 

I think they're just genuinely in a toxic relationship

 

Yes. I think the whole trip was planned to make ethan feel “cool” and accepted in order to bring him on as a client

 

I don’t think so

 

Or blackmail him into becoming a client

 

This is where I was leaning. They didn’t have that scene of him being upset Ethan didn’t bring him on in his sale for nothing

 

Was it Daphne or Harper that brought up cheating?

 

I believe Harper asked Daphne is cam had ever cheated on her.

while Ethan has rejected Harper 3 times in 3 days, and resorted to jerking off and making out with another person

 

the adjoining rooms comment in the first episode made me think they're swingers and trying to get Ethan/Harper involved

 

But not really

 

this season is starting to find its groove for me

 

Yeah by far the best episode of the season so far
