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.

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.

Another good series. Maybe not quite as good as the first one and suspension of disbelief was a bit harder this time around.

I enjoy that this show is essentially an anthology with bread crumbs leading into the next season. This season stressed me out!! It was so good and I could not guess what was going to happen next.

Boring watch. Whoever wrote this has major depressive disorder, not fun at all. Writers are not creative at all anymore, they can’t come up with creative, new concepts apparently. And all the tasteless sex scenes, the unraveling of morals and our society.

Slightly better than the 1st season, albeit some typical tropes and still predictable. Characters are not all despicable this time. Sure , the concept is to show 1 week of the life of some people, confronted to their dilemmas, realities and flaws. It’s a pretty slow show, where in fact not much happens…..I kinda forced myself to finish season 2. Will probably not watch season 3.

I've made it through two episodes and that's enough for me. Definitely not a fan of the casting compared to Season 1. The plot literally has had nothing compelling so far. Season 1 just had this mysterious yet positive aura to it and the characters were likeable. It had some pretty funny moments as well. Season 2 is just too gloomy and the dialogue too awkward between the characters to enjoy. Acting is adaquate at best.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
