TheWhiteLotus

If you could pick any movie couple to vacation at The White Lotus, who would you choose?

The White Lotus is always the place where drama happens. If you could pick any movie characters, who would you love to see come to The White Lotus? For me, I'd totally pick Superman and Batman. They’re the ultimate couple.

The Craziest Show is Back! Which Performance Are You Most Excited About?

Season 3 premiered to 2.4M U.S. viewers on Sunday night. A 57% increase over Season 2’s premiere. After watching the first episode, I was shocked to find out that Saxon Ratliff’s actor, Patrick Schwarzenegger, is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son! Usually, second-generation stars don’t have great acting skills, like Lily-Rose Melody Depp, Johnny Depp's daughter, in Nosferatu—she’s not a great actress. But Patrick Schwarzenegger did well in this show. Did you guys watch The White Lotus season 3, episode 1? Any performances that stood out to you?

What Makes The White Lotus So Irresistible?

Calling The White Lotus a “highly anticipated” show barely does it justice. Every season kicks off with a dead body, rewinds a week, and then slowly peels back the layers of dysfunction, privilege, and chaos lurking beneath the polished veneer of luxury resorts. But the magic of the show isn’t just in its murder-mystery framing—it’s in how it constantly shifts gears. Season 1, set in Hawaii, was a sharp critique of wealth and privilege. Season 2 took us to Sicily, trading social commentary for a

The White Lotus: My Guilty Pleasure of Watching Rich People Crash and Burn

Why do we—The Definitely Not Rich—love The White Lotus so much? It’s simple. There’s something almost primal in our enjoyment of watching these privileged characters unravel. It’s the undeniable satisfaction of seeing mean, hypocritical rich people, with their facade of wealth and respectability, suffer the consequences of their own actions. And this new season set in Thailand hits all the right notes. Honestly, if you have been to Thailand, you might be surprised by how accurate the show gets t

The White Lotus Season 3 has finally premiered, and while it was one of my biggest anticipations for 2025, as the season unfolds, I find myself missing Jennifer Coolidge’s portrayal of the wealthy socialite, Tanya McQuoid, more and more. I’m not sayingthe show isn’t excellent. Under the direction and writing of Mike White, this latest season—despite being set in Thailand—still brings together the familiar mix of wealthy, desire-driven, and mentally troubled characters.

Mickey 17: A Philosophical Odyssey into Identity and Existence

By Rumpelstiltskin. Ah, my dear mortals, what would you do if death ceased to be the end and became nothing more than a bureaucratic formality? "Mickey 17," the latest masterpiece from the brilliant Bong Joon-ho, dares to explore this idea with the skill of a storyteller who knows that the right questions matter more than the answers. From the very first scene, the film immerses us in a world where humanity has extended its dominion to the farthest reaches of the universe. Our protagonist, Micke

The Hidden Animal Archetypes of The White Lotus

Let´s dive deep Into the Animalistic Psyche Behind Every Character This season, set in Thailand, has leaned hard into animal motifs and I mean hard!; Monkeys, snakes, birds, lizards, and more. Thailand’s lush landscape has become a metaphorical zoo for the souls of these characters, each one struggling with their own privileged way to transcend or give in to their basest instincts. Every main character this season embodies a spirit animal. Creatures that reflect the duality of their personalitie

The Monkey Theory: How The White Lotus Explores Our Primal Nature

HBO’s The White Lotus returns with its highly anticipated third season, this time transporting us to the lush, spiritual, and chaotic landscapes of Thailand. But beneath the opulent luxury of yet another White Lotus resort, there is something deeper at play—a return to the primal. This season, the series doesn't just expose human hypocrisy and power struggles; it drags us into the jungle of the mind, where the "Monkey Theory" takes center stage. Hear me out!….

I Checked Out of The White Lotus

Everyone shut up—my oblivious, elitist reality show disguised as a drama is on. So wow, we just wrapped up White Lotus Season 3, and I have thoughts. First, let’s acknowledge my previous predictions, which were sometimes correct, and mostly incorrect—but hey, I was just having fun with it. Every twist I thought I had figured out was turned completely on its head, which was honestly such a satisfying surprise. I love it when a show makes me second-guess myself and swerve off-course. It keeps thin

Matthew Alan Schmidt: re: the bit you mentioned about Lisa's phat paycheck, it's worth noting that every actor is paid the same amount for appearing in the show. It was something they did out of necessity in S1 due to budget reasons, but they've continued the tradition since because it attracts people who "want to do the project for the right reasons."

Beautiful People-- Comedically Suffering-- Karmically-Caused-- For "Two Weeks-- In Bruges-- Wichu?"

As another fantastic season of Mike White's The White Lotus (his third) comes to a blistering close-- I'm once again reminded of a particularly niche-in-specificity-- cinematic-subset-genre that I often find myself largely hankering for, drawing towards and returning back to. That of which I like to call-- "Beautiful People Being Utterly Miserable, While Totally Trapped In Paradise, & Comically Stuck On Vacation." What should ostensibly be a totally fun time in the sun-- usually instead tends to

‘Drop’ Review: Tech-Age Horror Thriller and a Rom-Com From Hell

If you've ever felt that pit-of-the-stomach anxiety before a first date – sweaty palms, forced small talk, scanning for red flags – imagine that cranked to eleven with your child’s life on the line. That’s the gut-punch premise of Drop, the latest genre bender from director Christopher Landon. It’s a film that begins with flirty glances across a table and ends with a bone-chilling choice. Produced by the genre masterminds at Blumhouse, Drop is a dark date-night rollercoaster that lands somewhere

Did ‘White Lotus’ Season 3 Make You Cry Too? These Scenes Wrecked Me

It took me an hour to process the season 3 finale of "White Lotus." I never expected to cry over this show—it had mainly been a source of laughter for me these past weeks, despite occasionally dragging. But after watching the finale, I forgave any previous slow moments. It's as if Mike White had been saving all the emotion from the previous seven episodes for this explosive conclusion that brought season three to a stunning close. The finale breathed life into every character. Below, I'll share

Nepo Babies: Scapegoats or Smoke Screens?

Each season of The White Lotus delivers a cast of arrogant, entitled white male characters emblematic of systemic privilege. In Season 1, Jake Lacy’s Shane Patton embodies the petulant heir who obsessively contests his luxury suite’s pricing. Season 2’s Cameron Babcock (Theo James) and Dominic Di Grasso (Michael Imperioli) epitomize transactional masculinity, purchasing sexual services without ethical hesitation. Season 3 introduces Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger) — a younger but equally

marvelousmars: I definitely think our hatred of nepo babies comes from the fact that they ruin the illusion of a meritocracy, like you said. They're the living proof that no matter how hard you try, people with less skill can still do better than you just because they know the right people. Very well written!

The Sharp Edge of Desire and Power in The White Lotus Season Two

The third season of The White Lotus, which premiered this spring, received a relatively lukewarm response. Its slow-burn pacing, scattered focus, and increasingly routine satire of the wealthy made audiences nostalgic for its earlier seasons—especially the second one. Four years ago, few would have predicted that a low-key social satire show would take the world by storm. But with The White Lotus, American writer Mike White delivered a sharply observant portrait of life inside a luxury Hawaiian

‘The White Lotus’ Season 3: A Portrait of Our Collapse

Season 3 of The White Lotus had finally come to an end. From the very first episode, I felt that something was missing — specifically, the presence of Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge), whose eccentricity and wealth defined much of the first two seasons. As the new season unfolded, I realized that it wasn’t just Tanya’s absence that felt off. The tone had become overly serious, and the pacing noticeably slower. Entire episodes passed with little more than meals and mundane conversations among ch
