The White Lotus is up there with one of the best shows of 2021. Following on from fellow HBO series Mare of Easttown, The White Lotus is straight up BRILLIANT.
Created, written and directed by Mike White (Enlightened) commenced on July 11, before concluding August 15. This short sharp six episode run stars Murray Bartlett (Looking), Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), Jennifer Coolidge (Legally Blonde), Alexandra Daddario, Jake Lacy, and Steve Zahn.
The season focuses on the lives of the staff and guests at a tropical resort in Hawaii over the course of a week. The series has received acclaim from critics and nearly everyone I know who has seen the series. Whilst some episodes were confronting, it was simply hilarious. Looking at those wealthy enough to enjoy this top resort.
The series (originally intended as a mini-series) has been renewed for a second season, which will tell the story of a different group of travelers during their stay at another White Lotus property.
So clearly HBO wants to keep the gravy train of this comedy gold on their books.
After some of my luxurious holidays before the shit show that was 2020 hit. I was lucky enough to travel to a number of these "exclusive" resorts. This just touches the side of how vile some holidaymakers can be.
I really enjoyed this from episode one. Whilst I waited for the first four episodes and then binge those and waited patiently for the final two. This was TV at it's best. Not a complex story to be told but a worthwhile one.
I am almost to the end of the August TV Finales series, however a number of new shows are landing soon. Wentworth takes a bow tomorrow, The Walking Dead also starts its long winded final season whilst American Horror Story returns for its tenth season mid week. Talk about a busy month of TV.
September is also bringing a number of your favourite series back. From Money Heist, Billions finally returns, American Crime Story takes on the Clinton's, The Morning Show returns for its second season along with regulars like Big Sky, Station 19, 9-1-1 and Dear White People's final season.
I'll see you all again soon.
