The White Lotus was intended as a six-part limited series, the show's success led to HBO renewing it as an anthology series; a second season premiered on October 30, 2022. Last month, the series was renewed for a third season. The American Film Institute named it one of the ten best television programs of 2021 and 2022.
Created by Mike White streaming on HBO/Binge in Australia, the comedy-drama-horror series follows the guests and employees of the fictional White Lotus resort chain, whose stay is affected by their various psychosocial dysfunctions. The first season is set in Hawaii and the second season is set in Sicily.
The second season was a wild ride, however was it as good as that stay in Hawaii? Oh and I know you're like it's summer in Australia. Well I am behind in my shows, most of these shows had the majority of their episodes in spring, so I will conclude this series at the end of December. With my Spring RATED report landing early January, 2023.
So over to episode seven, Arrivederci. Yes one episode longer than season one. So you are warned SPOILERS AHEAD!
After Harper admits to him that Cameron kissed her, a furious Ethan attacks Cameron, nearly drowning him before a bystander intervenes.
Ethan shares his suspicions with Daphne, who repeats the advice she gave Harper, to do whatever makes him feel better; she then invites him to join her on a walk to a nearby island, though it is not revealed whether they have a sexual encounter there.
An invigorated Ethan later has sex with Harper, reigniting the passion in their marriage. Albie convinces Dominic to wire €50,000 to Lucia to save her from Alessio, in exchange for Albie's help in salvaging Dominic's marriage.
Valentina gains a newfound sense of confidence and hires Mia as the resort’s permanent piano player, to the anger of the returning Giuseppe.
Portia becomes anxious when she wakes up and finds that her phone is missing, while Jack insists everything is fine. She takes his phone and calls Tanya, telling her she feels something terrible is about to happen as Jack has said that Quentin is broke and about to come into a large fortune that will help save his palazzo.
Remembering the framed photo of Quentin and Greg again, Tanya deduces that Greg hired Quentin to kill Tanya so that he can inherit her fortune. Jack coerces Portia into his car, where she confronts him about his relationship with Quentin; he angrily drives off saying he will take Portia back to Taormina. He later drops her off near Catania–Fontanarossa Airport, warning her not to return to the White Lotus for her own safety.
On Quentin's yacht back to the hotel, a panicked Tanya retrieves Niccolo's gun and kills him, Quentin, and their other associates but, while attempting to board a dinghy to escape, falls off the yacht to her death.
Her body washes up to shore the next day and is discovered by Daphne, and the other bodies on the yacht are found soon after. Lucia leaves Albie and celebrates her successful scam with Mia and Alessio, who had been working with them.
Albie and Portia run into each other at the airport, where Albie confirms Tanya's death to Portia and nonchalantly mentions that Lucia had played him. They exchange numbers as they wait for their flights home.
I may not of loved it as much as season one, however it was a lot of fun. There was a lot more sex in season two. Will Sharpe is WAY too sexy while Aubrey Plaza was outstanding this season. Some of those resting bitch faces were insanely amazing.
So if you need a summer, Christmas series to smash out! The White Lotus seasons one and two stream now on Binge. Catch it all while you can as HBO Max is on a cancellation spree in the USA. Love/Life, Minx (even though it was renewed already) and The Nevers have all now been cancelled. I feel Pennyworth and The Flight Attendant will join them soon. Also I am not super confident about a third season of the rebooted Gossip Girl.
For now The White Lotus will hopefully be back in 2023, where will it be located? Who knows? Hopefully Ethan will be back. Please!
