Description: Set in a resort in Sicily, it follows the exploits of
various guests and employees over the span of a week.
Review: The first season of this mini-series was a huge success, so they decided
to create a second season. Set in Sicily this time. Jennifer Coolidge is the
only returning actress. Het character Tanya has ended up in Sicily with her new
husband, and once again the tragicomic character seems to attract misfortune
and calamity. Her husband does not appreciate her as the diva she is; she ends
up needing a group of flamboyant gay men for that. Tanya’s assistant Portia,
meanwhile, may be available on call, but must also make herself invisible.
We also mee three
generations of American-Sicilian men who have a special relationship with
female beauty. Another storyline revolves around Cameron and Ethan, two former
college mates, who have found each other again and are constantly testing both
each other and each other’s relationships. There are more characters involved,
but these are the three main storylines.
“The White Lotus” again
proves sublime at portraying interpersonal interactions, awkwardness, misunderstandings,
suspicions and the volatility that almost all of his character harbor. The
season begins with a corpse, but we have to wait until the final episode to see
who ends up floating lifeless in the ocean.
Meanwhile, “The White Lotus”
mercilessly fillets human nature, where, as in the first season, you have no
idea where it’s all going or will end up. I only missed Murray Bartlett’s
character from season one, but overall, I liked this season just as much as the
first. And I’m totally in for another series of events at a different White
Lotus hotel.
