Quick but bored

I know this is the first episode of a series I know nothing about but at the moment I am bored. The characters are unlikeable but that isn't the only problem. This series at the moment doesn't have a plot I am engaging with. The manager is my favourite character. You have the cringy youth, creepy and lonely stalker lady. Newly wed couple and the classic upper class parents. The series focuses on the exploits of guests but none of them are relatble or likeable or at the very least interesting.

Don't understand the good reviews

I didn't even make it through 20 mins, so boring. I like quite a few actor sin thisovie and the other stuff they have done, but this was boring sorry.

Summer Fluff

Summer fluff...and that's ok. Sometimes we need to get away and The White Lotus is just the place.

So nice. Not tumultuous and that's good.

I know nothing of Michael White but I'd guess he's British. The filming and scenes have that high quality that one just doesn't get from Americans except on HBO or premium channels. Each episode also isn't filled with stupid, improbable thrills and spills. Chases. I love that there's no trendy awful pop soundtrack. You know the music people blare while washing their car. Some say it's boring because it doesn't work like Marvel Cinematic Universe. Me I think Marvel hero movies are boring.

Lotus, wait!, I'm coming too

A superb episode with bright cinematography, marvelous acting and an eerie score well worth the local traditions. I'm sure that the series is superb and is directed with an iron hand by Mr. White! The blend of comedy, drama and sarcasm is just delicious.

It is far from boring and a new TV with bright realistic colors and adaptive brightness might fix your mood and send you right into the sunny show with the guests.

Trivia
Mike White wrote the role of Tanya specifically with Jennifer Coolidge in mind. The actress almost turned the part down as she was so depressed about the pandemic and couldn't bring herself to work. She soon changed her mind when she read the full series.

Quotes
Armond: You know, you don't wanna be too specific as a... as a presence, as an identity. You wanna be more generic.
Lani: Generic?
Armond: Yes. You know, it's a Japanese ethos where we are asked to disappear behind our masks as pleasant interchangeable helpers. It's tropical kabuki. And the goal is to create for the guests an overall impression of vagueness that can be very satisfying, where they get everything they want but they don't even know what they want, or what day it is, or where they are, or who we are, or what the fuck is going on.
