What to Know

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.

Estelle Tang BuzzFeed News 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. Dec 22, 2022 Full Review David Mack BuzzFeed News I loved the scope of this season, compared to the last. Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Venessa Wong BuzzFeed News Season 2 leaves a less bitter taste in my mouth, which makes it slightly more forgettable to me. Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Isabella Liistro Loud and Clear Reviews While season 2 is still shown through White’s sneering lens, it’s clear he took more time developing the characters this time around, managing to find that balance between likeability and intrigue. Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu A dazzling exploration of jealousy, desire, and sexual politics. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Raw and crude in parts but overall compellingly entertaining. Rated: 7/10 Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael B Plaza is a black hole of energy. The idea that some "top critics" on this platform found this season compelling confirms that I must live on some other planet where storytelling exists. Season 1 was fun. Season 2 is unwatchable unless you need a cure for insomnia. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Audience Member "The White Lotus" season 2 starts off seeming to be a bit boring, but things manage to get interesting in the second half of the season and the storylines are so well developed. I felt really involved on an emotional level, thinking about the various characters' relationships and choices, and probably that's why I think this season is slightly better than the first one. F. Murray Abraham and Aubrey Plaza I love you Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Lars N That ending just elevated the whole series to certifiable 'can't miss' status. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Танюша L The best season ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Zitronia U Shallow "drama" that revolves around sex, gratuitous sex scenes, complete absence of a plot, the storylines of the different groups don't intersect, the "character study" is shallow and the characters stereotypical and predictable... but at least the actors make this one slightly entertaining, unlike the first or third seasons which are utterly unwatchable. The murder mystery doesn't work because a. the writers seem to forget about it until the last episode and b. the characters are so obnoxious that I didn't even care who died. In fact the ending would have been better if they'd all died. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Trevor S Very entertaining! I thought it was great for the most part. I feel like it got more predictable and the wasn't a whole lot of momentum towards the end in 2 of the 4 storylines. Overall very fun to watch, satire at it's finest.
