,” the perennial character actress makes big, bold choices. But they’re so keyed into the story that show creator Mike White wants to tell as to seem inevitable. As the saying goes, Coolidge understands the assignment — and that’s what makes her work exceptional.
Tanya’s sense of herself as a victim of circumstance is so palpable that her treating the spa employee as a peer can look like an overture of real friendship. Over the course of “The White Lotus,” Tanya tries to pull various characters into her orbit, and only Belinda — who could use the boost that Tanya’s money and interest seem to promise — is vulnerable enough to take her up on it.
That she’s blind to the fact that Belinda has suffered in her own ways, as well as to their class and race differences, is the point of Tanya. She is movingly, vexingly blind to Belinda’s belief that it probably wouldn’t be appropriate to dine together, and as blind to the fact that ditching Belinda there later is less inappropriate than cruel. The complicated wonder of Coolidge’s work is that she makes it work.
A little obsequious. She is excellent though, as is the show and ensemble cast.
