(Warning: Contains spoilers for seasons 1 and 2 of The White Lotus.) The show's whodunnit format detracts from its slow-burn character study.

died? It’s not as interesting — or answerable— of a question, and you can’t linger on it long. In Season 1, that lack forced White to abandon the murder plot for six episodes until it came back as an accident, as if he realized he had to close the frame narrative in the last 10 minutes of the script. Armond’s pooping-to-getting-stabbed journey was glorious, a clever feat with great shock factor.

I thought the first season reveled in shameless, changeless wealthy people without much interest in the people who worked for them. The climactic scene itself though is, once again, excellent. Tanya weeping her way through a three-man shootout, fumblingly plotting her escape, then bonking herself in the head during a sudden flop off a yacht: chef’s kiss. Coolidge’s haplessness is hilarious, White’s comedic timing impeccable. But again, the various storylines feel like a mashup of what could have been separate, better shows. Give me 10 full hours of Meghann Fahy.

The whole idea is that it is a murder mystery. For God's sake! You want something else? Don't watch a murder mystery.

The White Lotus show make me feel very uncomfortable.

Jennifer Coolidge on the Real Tragedy of ‘The White Lotus’ Finale'[She] was so close to having a victory — and, an unlikely victory, for someone like her,' says the Emmy-winning actress about the conclusion to the second season of the hit HBO series. Sussed out the dead party mostly from a practical casting question, which I suspect had something to do with it. Good show, needs less on the nose B-roll of crashing waves and ancient statues set to dramatic music. We get it. It's operatic. Unpredictable because it didn't make sense not because it was clever. I enjoyed the show, it was fun to watch. But the plot to kill Tanya was ridiculous. Do they not have phone records in Italy?

The Real Cost of The White LotusWhat this season of The White Lotus really taught us was that if you want the best things in life, you’d better be prepared to hustle, negotiate, and deceive in order to get them I don't think the drama was endorsing hustling and deceiving. It was just about how human desire really works, how people behave when they have the freedom to do what they really want, and that truth, desire, and morality are very strangely intertwined. I think Tanya :gets it', but denial is a running theme in White Lotus. If we think Tanya doesn't get it, then we are in denial about the truth of what she represents. Also, great tip on the statue's history. I thought it was the most important evidence of Harper's truth. Late stage capitalism
