White Lotus Shorts
Description: The White Lotus is an American dark comedy-drama anthology television series created by Mike White for HBO. It follows the guests and employees of the fictional White Lotus resort chain, whose interactions are affected by their various psychosocial dysfunctions. The press release notes that "each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel's cheerful employees, and the idyllic locale itself". The first and second season are set in Maui and Sicily, respectively.
Description: As before, White presents this season’s tangle of privileged problems around a theme. We’ve had money in Hawaii and sex in Sicily, and this time, it’s what he calls, “a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality”. We’ve known for a while that the setting would be Thailand, and this outpost of the fictional White Lotus would be on the island of Koh Samui. And again, proving that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, filming took place in a real-life Four Seasons resort. As before, it’s a backdrop that justifies binge-watching by itself, even before you factor in the exquisite torture White inflicts on his characters.
