Review by scott-1657

The White Lotus

8/10

Amusing; nothing extraordinary

Well, I guess I'm pretty jaded. I thought this was amusing, watchable, the cast members were likable, the locations for seasons 1 and 2 were beautiful.

But I am just flabbergasted by the number of awards given to this series. Are we rating on a bell curve? (I think so.)

This was very watchable and very streamable (I stayed up very late getting to the end of the second season one night) but I don't even know if I'll remember it in a couple of years. Despite the debate about this, it just seemed to me to be another HBO series about rich, white folk doing whatever they please and sometimes agonizing about it.

I did not see this when it originally "dropped" but binged it after the end of the second season. I enjoyed Rita Coolidge, F. Murray Abraham, Simona Tabasco, Alexandra Daddario, Beatrice Grannò, and a couple of others, but basically I found this series to be a time filler.

As far as humor, yes, it's light-hearted, and I realize it's more satire (well, is it?) but, at most, I found myself actually *laughing* not more than once an episode.

Like I say, I guess I'm jaded.
