Actually I feel the first season was overrated hence I like second season better. Maybe the nicer setting (who does not love Italy) and nicer cast ( love Meghann Fahy, Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, Michael Imperioli and F Murray Abraham even before I watched the show) and after watching I like the 3 Italian actress too. Also I prefer a "sex" theme more than "class" theme.

I heard S3 will be "death" theme which might be very interesting.

I think a show like White Lotus is very dependant of the setting and cast.
