Clearly lots of people enjoyed this and I'm happy for them, but it felt like rage-bait to me.
The tangled mystery trope where everyone becomes a reasonable suspect isn't terrible, although the twists were well-telegraphed.
My main issue was the attempt at parody isn't clever or witty enough to really land. Instead it ended up feeling like a poorly written mystery with a couple of quirky moments to justify the ludicrous plot.
I guess it just wasn't to my taste.

I left watching Sinners until the fizz died down but I haven't seen a film in a long time that made me so curious, thoughtful and excited.
It's genre-defying and the fact it has vampires in it, for me, didn't come close to making it a 'horror film'.
The vampires are a cleverly used and highly appropriate device but this film is about so much more.
The layers of symbolism, the craft of its slow-burn, its deft character creation, the wonderful script and brilliant rendering by the actors and director are all so much more relevant.
I'm honestly kind of lost for words because I'm still mulling it over but I encourage anyone who still hasn't seen it - if there is anyone - to forget about the vampires and instead lean into all the rest that it offers.
I can wait to see more.

I really wanted to like season 3. Season 1 felt like a fresh take with some laugh-out-loud moments and fun characters. Season 2 I maybe even enjoyed more. But for me, the bloom has really gone off by season 3.
The 'upstairs/downstairs' contrast is neither as catchy or impactful as the previous seasons and the Agatha Christie-esque moments of the final instalment are telegraphed transparently. Several of the characters and arcs are just as predictable and there are few stand-out performances.
I know lots of viewers are put off by the over-abundance of villains in the White Lotus anthology but it's key to its weird charm. But this set of characters are more hapless than anything else.
And speaking of villains, I'm not sure why Mook is given such a free ride. The fact that she's stunning doesn't make up for her manipulation of poor Gaitok.
I'll look forward to series 4 if there is one, if only to see if the producers can recapture the dark satire of previous seasons and give us something to really talk about other that Walton Goggins, who is good but not great, particularly when played against the marvellous Aimee Lee Wood.
