I’ve only watched the pilot. Didn’t enjoy it as much as last season.

Mike White really captured an audience and fan base. So excited for season 3 and new cast

That's because this show is fucking amazing.

Some of the best writing and casting I've ever seen. Season 1 was great, but this season is even better.

its one of those shows you just dont expect to be popular - like Yellowstone you never expect the show too grow this big

I love it so much, even more so than season 1. Are there other shows like this or movies?

I don't know what it is but season 1 didn't gel with me and other than Connie Britton I just didn't like anybody (Sydney's character almost made me turn off the show) but man season 2 has been incredible and loving this series so much :D.

I don't get HBO Max, but Comcast had a week of free TV, so I watched all of season one and through episode 5 of season two. I won't be able to see the rest.

Dammit.

Season 1 was great. And so far Season 2 is also great.

It's not the normal show I get into, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Surprising to me because this season is absolutely not as compelling as the first. Entertaining, sure, but S1 characters were so good.

I've tried three times to watch this series. I keep turning it off because I want to murder all the characters and the atonal music is annoying AF.

I deal with annoying people in person on a daily basis, and I have teens with tragically crap taste in music so no, this series clearly isn't for me as I already get everything it has to offer for free with zero effort.

100% agree. S1 was a bit confusing for most people I’ve talked to about it. A murder takes place but nothing regarding the murder really occurs until the last episode or two where things build up, which I think threw most people off. Where the series shines is the in-between content. It’s not about the murder, that’s just a little icing on the cake to keep you guessing. The real filling is how each season explores the interactions between different groups of people.

The characters don’t need introductions, we as the viewer catch them right in the moment as if we were vacationers at the resort too. We slowly build stories for these characters and realize that everyone has little imperfections that creates tension throughout the show. Slowly these tensions rise and keep you guessing on which relationship or situation will have caused the murder we see in the first episode.

I’m glad they’re doing a season 3, I think there’s plenty of places to take the show from here. In my personal opinion though, I think they should end Jennifer Coolidge’s arc with this season and allow one of the current characters to overlap into the next one. It keeps things grounded in the same universe, but doesn’t bank on viewers liking the same actor/character season after season.

Fascinates me how unlikable all the characters seem to be. I'm only 3 episodes in, but I think there are only two that I'd be willing to spend time with and one of those is a hooker, lol.

F Murray Abraham left Mythic Quest for this show, which is a glorified 6 week holiday in Italy. I don't blame him.

I'm not sure I'm enjoying s2 as much as the 1st but it's a pretty great show

Somehow S2 has been better than S1, this show’s a must watch.

Triangle of Sadness is a recent movie that scratches that itch to some degree. The tone is a bit different, but it's another dark comedy about class, opulence, sex, and a vacation gone wrong.

And they killed his character in retaliation so he can never return and finish his arc. Sincerely hilarious. It’s fair enough though, he was missing from the show during the Covid era and the episode with most of his character development was a younger version played by a different actor. Mythic quest wasn’t a great role.

Mike White himself wrote a movie called Beatrix at Dinner which was... ok. Not terrible but far from the quality of White Lotus. It hits on some of the same themes but is MUCH less subtle.

With this, and this fool on FX. So happy to see Micheal Imperioli getting roles again. He was such a powerhouse in The Sopranos.

Season 1 was the most strangely enjoyable show I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to even put a finger on why. Very excited to watch season 2.
