I found myself finally much more intrigued by THE WHITE LOTUS. The FULL-MOON PARTY was more interesting and exciting than in previous weeks. The writers kept the action between the large ensemble without slowing down the intrigue, except for showing footage of the lapping ocean waves. I still maintain the story could be condensed to 45 minutes instead of the usual 60-minute episodes. This additional editing would help create tighter, additional explosive moments.
THE WHITE LOTUS tends to make me want to scream at my screen. There seems to be an abundance of stupid people staying at this resort, which can only lead to tragedy. Parker Posey, as Victoria, appears to have the perfect way to cope. She cracks me up. She will never win an award for parent of the year. And I can’t stop thinking about Rick (Walton Goggins). Can we say shut the front door together as our mouths drop into our chests while listening to an outrageous monologue? There is some obscene shit going on in the Far East.
THE WHITE LOTUS has a huge job ahead to merge all these stories. I look forward to that finale and being able to fly home. This probably would not be one of my top ten vacation spots.
THE WHITE LOTUS is streaming on MAX.
