  • Everything you could want from a pilot!

    A great first episode that sets us up perfectly for what is to come. It has everything; a flawed main character with clear motives, brief exposition, some unexpectedly cool visuals (the production design of the show warrants watching it alone), and a final act that is beyond shocking. I cannot imagine anyone viewing this episode and not wanting to see more, even if it's just to find out what twisted game is up next.

    I did find it a little odd that no one asked what the punishment would be if they lost the games but once you wake up in a room of 100 mega-bunkbeds I suppose your mind would be a bit scrambled.

  • It's complicated

    I personally think it's a really good sign when a show is as polarizing as The White Lotus. Half of reviews will complain about an anticlimactic ending, inaccessible characters, and an overall lack of action. The other half will praise the show for its brilliant dark humor, critique of wealth, and ability to weave seemingly unrelated stories into one cohesive plot. What makes this dichotomy so interesting is that neither side is wrong, it all just comes down to how you engage with the show.

    In some regards, I do think the show misses the mark. Through the murder mystery theme and forceful implementation of the (brilliant) score, Mike White creates a sense of suspense and despair that never really feels justified. There are definitely moments of shock and awe, but overall each separate storyline comes to a lukewarm ending instead of the cataclysmic finale the show convinces you is coming. Likely this is intentional, but it nevertheless is hard to swallow.

    On the other hand, the elusive intelligence Mike White constructs the show with leaves you wildly impressed that something could be so repulsive, intriguing, heartfelt, and scary all at the same time. The acting is phenomenal. The music is incredible. The cinematography is great. The critique of modern philosophies is done with sharp wit and understanding. It's hard to dislike it, even when some of the characters make you want to swallow glass. It deserves the praise and acclaim it is receiving (and will hopefully continue to receive).

    P. S. I will single-handily end the Emmys if Jennifer Coolidge is not seen accepting an award next year. She deserves the world.
