The White Lotus (2021–2025)
5/10
I loved season 1, but...
5 January 2023
Just finished season 2 and I feel this show in a sense jumped the shark. Instead of actual writing they went the sex and nudity route. While I don't mine all the sex and nudity it seems like filler at times. I'm a believer that shock value is just that, shock value, it brings nothing to the table unless you're easily entertained. Which apparently I am not because it seems like every "adult" dark comedy seems to go this route at some point during the series. Which leads me into the acting portion of this show. I think season 1 also had stronger female leads. Maybe I'm just not a fan of Aubrey Plaza, and her faces she makes...i dunno. But I hope this show can learn from their mistakes and they don't keep on trying to push the shock envelope and just concentrate on good writing.
