From Mike White (HBO's Enlightened), The White Lotus is a sharp social satire following the exploits of various employees and guests at an exclusive Hawaiian resort over the span of one highly transformative week. Checking into the luxurious White Lotus are a young couple fresh off their fairytale wedding, a woman mourning the death of her mother, and a high-powered executive, accompanied by her less successful husband, their teen son, and college-age daughter, who's brought along her best friend for the trip. Looking to relax and rejuvenate in paradise, the vacationers are greeted by the resort manager and head of spa services, who soon find themselves catering to their guests' every whim - no matter how unreasonable - while juggling stressors in their own lives. As darker dynamics emerge with each passing day, this biting six-episode limited series gradually reveals the complex truths of the seemingly picture-perfect travelers, cheerful hotel employees, and idyllic locale itself.

Season 2 (2022) (S02)
Much like the first season, this one maintains the same vibe but elevates the finale to an emotional high, earning it a slightly better rating from me. It's fascinating how the creators dive into the social issues of the upper-middle class again. Everyone behaves like total jerks, making it almost repulsive to watch, yet you can't look away because it's so captivating. Jennifer Coolidge and F. Murray Abraham steal the show with their performances.
