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

Darker and more patient with its storytelling than previous seasons while brandishing a superb new ensemble full of acidic performances, The White Lotus' third season offers a spiritual respite that shivs the soul.

Several screener episodes in, I’m hoping it never blows up, that it stays at this exquisite simmer, but, as White keeps visually suggesting, the tsunami is on its way.

The New Yorker

There’s something similar at work in the third season, a promiscuous application of the formula that yields diminishing returns. It isn’t just the characters who seem a bit lost in Thailand; White does, too.

We love watching the rich behave badly and get their just desserts for abusing the help. But that dynamic can grow tiresome, even with more than a year’s pause between new seasons. Wisely, White evolves this viewpoint with each fresh turn.

Winnipeg Free Press

While this well-crafted show remains an often intelligent, unsparing dissection of the dynamics of wealth, fame and power, it also — at this point — relies on a familiar, even formulaic frame that needs to be pepped up by guest stars.

Sadly, like it’s done twice before, White Lotus merely gestures at critiques that mainly amount to “these rich tourists sure are shallow.”

Sioux City Journal

“The White Lotus,” season three, is a bit more lush than the previous two and stuffed with phrases you’ll be hearing for months to come. Don't be surprised if, like Saxon, you say, "This place is clutch."

Rated: 3.5/4

The 3 season doesn't have the same vibe as the first 2 seasons. This third season is slow with little actually happening in each episode. This is really disappointing considering previous seasons being such a great show. This season is just a lack luster and snooze fest. It feels more like a drawn out drama and loosing its interest and comedy value. Not even the well know cast can save this season. If it keeps up like this then if there's a season 4 I probably won't even try and watch it.

No redeeming characters outside of Gaiton. It is apparent that the writer/director believes that weird=interesting. It doesn't, weird is just weird here. What a waste of the Uber talented Goggins. Pure hedonistic drivel. Watch season one and two, skip three
