An all-star cast head to a resort and unleash their worst, most privileged impulses. The series is a sharp social satire following the exploits of various guests and employees of the fictional White Lotus resort chain, whose stay becomes affected by their various dysfunctions. A week in the life of vacationers is unravelled as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise. With each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel's cheerful employees, and the idyllic locale itself.

Critics Consensus

Swapping its tropical trappings for Euro chic while focusing primarily on the corrosive influence of carnal desire, The White Lotus remains a cookie full of arsenic that goes down smooth.

Narratively speaking, this season felt flatter and had a little less texture, but it really sparkled. Season 2 was able to establish that the White Lotus formula works.

Season 2 leaves a less bitter taste in my mouth, which makes it slightly more forgettable to me.

Raw and crude in parts but overall compellingly entertaining.

PopMatters

Through its storytelling method of glances, we see The White Lotus‘ critique of our tendency to extrapolate that which we do not understand, and to fill gaps in our knowledge with ideologies, mythologies, learned stereotypes, and meme-logic.

It was good but not even close to 1st season, the music, the story, the actors were amazing. I really hope in season 3 to have mysterious story, great actors play and more beautiful women. In the second season they said those were Italian women, I have been in Italy the women there are 10x prettier. First season the women were 10x more beautiful and same time great actors

Not as engaging as S01, the follow up still serves clever observations and zeitgeist dialogue. The series benefits from the viewer's desire - as on instagram, youtube channels and other voyeuristic media - to watch rich people being rich. Jenniffer Coolidge got the chance to refine her character even more.

Watched it because I like Aubrey, but she was just another unlikeable, gullible, or awkward character in a tedious plot that gets more ridiculous with every episode. If you want to find out who the bodies are, recommend you just read the synopsis. Simona Tabasco the clear star and best character of the series.

Mi Capisci? This show is epic and the second season tell a perfect story in a beautiful Italian cartolina. Jennifer Coolidge is the heart of the show. She's the moment.

Why all the high reviews? The sex and crudeness were over the top. But aside from that they drew some topics out way too far dragging from one episode to the next. I was screaming inside Enough already... move on to something else. Some characters were very good in their parts and the twist at the end was the best but I just hung on to find out who died. Won't watch any more seasons. Much better drama out there.

All of the characters this season were incredible, especially Aubrey Plaza, Meghann Fahy, and Jennifer Coolidge. The plot was way more exciting than Season 1, the setting was more fun, and I am all the more excited for Season 3!
