Suprisingly this season was even better. Love me some Jennifer Coolidge
:heart:x6
I did not enjoy season 2 as much as season 1. Season 1 felt fresher.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Season 2 is great! I find it better than season 1, which is surprising seeing how good the first season was. There are a few issues, but the characters are better.
The season finale was amazing. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It felt like a special episode which was not the case with the first season.

Will is sooo hot，how can human’s body perfect like that！
While there is one episode left, I can say the second season is not as great as the first. Much of the humor lacks the bite of the first season, but it is fun and has inspired sections (particularly F. Murray Abraham and his family).
I saw only first episode but I'm 100% Harper drowned all these people and kept them few minutes underwater after their last breath just in case
I rate it "I'm just much better than you at being a jerk" out of ten.
Just finished season 1.. was wondering how this show will do a season 2? Now i see-it’s with a whole new cast
This season started off boring to me but gets better mid-season. I had a good laugh, and the story is darker, whereas the first season gave me a Succession vibe—you know, made me hate the rich and giving the idea that the rich will always win.
Was told to only watch this season by a few people I know and was glad I did this season was very good and to my surprise it had to of my favorite Actors and actresses in it in Michael Imperioli and Aubrey Plaza so I knew it would be a good season. show kep me intrested and some parts made me laugh overall a good season.
based on all the super negative reviews I didnt start to watch 2nd season. however - I actually enjoyed this second season. jennifer coolidge remains just as annoying as in season 1.
Not as good as the first season, as many have said, but still better than half of the other shows that are on tv right now (if not more than half, in my opinion).
The Harper-Ethan couple is giving me bi-panic, I want them both
Just heavily distracted by the fact that Albie looks like Screech from Saved by the Bell
In a way, everyone got what they deserved.
Ethan learned how to ignore things to have a good life. Idt Cam and Harper did anything, but it still lingered in his head and it was going to ruin the relationship regardless. It's weird, but the back and forth suspicion between Ethan and Harper never really went anywhere. Idt either of them really believe the other, but the sex at the end seems to indicate that they just want to be together and have fun instead of worrying about it. I see some people say Ethan cheated, I don't think he did - physically or mentally, but it's definitely double standards of him to beg Harper to believe him while he won't believe her. In a way, Ethan just resigns like Daphne and gives Harper the attraction she felt was missing - so happy ending?
I'm surprised Cam was so jolly after Ethan beat him up, I guess he doesn't care that much about it after all. By the end of it, Cam is still Cam. Nothing has changed. He is still the rich guy who doesn't care about 'normal' people, is out only to get his own, and wants to have fun at the expense of others. I don't even think he really cares about his family, and Daphne is just there for his pleasure for the most part. Daphne, on the other hand, is just a sad character. She comes off airheaded but it's really because she's trying to find a positive way through all the negativity Cam brings into the relationship thru his non-consensual infidelity. I feel bad for her, but not too bad because she's also a rich asshole without a care for the world. Only worried about how she's getting past Cam's issues and keeping herself together with vain charities here and there.
Albie is dumb af. I mean he starts out as the good character being the only person (well Ethan too I guess) respecting women and such. But he's so naive. He really is the perfect mark, and he isn't aggressive by himself. And even when Portia says he should be, I don't think he understood that right. Aggressiveness can be expressed in more way than just putting yourself on a woman and whatnot. Well, Lucia struck gold and I can't believe he really thought she was going to stay. Way too naive. Got what he deserved, and at the end he's not all that different from his father and grandfather, just in a 'nicer' way.
Dom...whatever. I don't think he healed. Will probably relapse. Doesn't seem hopeful.
Lucia & Mia, lfg. The only people to win from this whole experience. And rightfully so. Lucia got the right mark, played it well. And while she shows affection and regret a little - her job is her job. She has goals, and she's probably going to get them. Mia too, was able to get that job and start towards her music journey + looks like she has a bestie situation with the manager and that's a win-win for both of them.
Manager: worse than the first season but whatever tbh. She has her lesbian awakening, so that's nice.
Portia is just a lost lamb. I don't think there's much to say more than that. Bad decisions, wrong timing, and getting played by Jack and the gays crew. She doesn't get hurt that much, but also doesn't seem to have learned anything with the fact that she still tries to go after Albie at the end. Just...what is you doing girl? The red flags are up and high and waving but she can't see any of them.
And lastly, Tanya. Ngl, I really liked her storyline this season. It was still cringey and I still skipped parts of her scenes but it became more interesting in the latter half. Last episode was surprising, that she actually killed people. But her death was so dumb. I mean its characteristic of her, but I honestly thought she was going to be a recurring character in the series. Now we're left wondering what was the situation with Greg.
8/10, another good season of The White Lotus. Slow start, cringey scenes, tension filled, and very nice cinematography. Everyone is an asshole one way or another...because most people who aren't can't afford to go to the White Lotus after all.
The second season of “The White Lotus” reserve up another helping of the same recipe, but this time with an Italian twist and a new set of characters. While there is an attempt to shift the focus to the locals, the main dish consists of unappetizing love stories and trivial family drama. The only returning character gets the most ridiculous storyline and is the only one to retain that feeling of awkwardness that has characterized the first season for the better and worse.
Season 2 builds on the darkly comedic, incisive commentary of season 1. The hooks of the show remain the same: flawed rich people struggle to recognize their privileged situation, and questionable decisions interlock and spiral into destructive conclusions. There are times when the show's themes felt heavy handed, particularly early in the season as the prostitutes flitted from guest to guest and we saw lust cloud many people's judgement and saw how gender roles and assumptions are so asymmetric in relationships. As the season progressed, we moved beyond such neat socioeconomic and romantic themes and allowed the characters to diplay their nuances. The finale is an excellent consummation of the tension that had led up to that point without reaching the point of melodrama; while wild things certainly happen, just as substantial are the things that didn't happen, that only existed as unfounded fears. The Italian atmosphere was much more evocative than the Hawaiian one of season 1, both in the lush scenery and in the social context. This isn't a show I expect to return to often as it's not particularly innovative in any regard, but season 2 in particular is one that has robust characters and solid writing to earn it appreciation when it does come up.
I really like this show.
While this second season is much more about sex than the first one (if the intro didn’t give it away, lmao that is beautifully f:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol: up hahaha), it is still nicely laced with intrigues and twists.
Daphne was probably the character that surprised me the most.
I loved Valentina once I saw her feeding the cats.
Tanya is as dumb as she was in the first season. She should have invested in the spa-girl back then.
And Mia was so great.
Great watch.
The White Lotus is an amazing show. And season 2 for me is far better than the first (which isalso very good ). The second season has a more positive feeling even though it shows again very troubled people. The final brings the question is there an evil master plan or not?
I think this is even better than season 1, because it’s about more things, it goes deeper and the balance between farce and pure drama is more finely tuned. And even though once again the murder mystery is not the point, this time it also gets quite thrilling when it wants to. The cast is amazing, Meghann Fahy is so much better than anyone else but everybody is great and Jennifer Coolidge is the best version of Jennifer Coolidge that Jennifer Coolidge ever played.
Enjoyed it more than S01
I loved it but wish we got more of Michael Imperioli and F. Murray Abraham. They felt really sidelined in the later half. I think I may have liked it more than Season 1...
I really loved this second installment of Mike White's anthology of the rich and spoiled. And guess what, the poor people come on top this time (well besides Portia). Anyways, the Italy setting does not go into waste but I do love how things that could've gotten cheesy didn't go overboard, I'm talking about the big shootout in the finale and it all shows once we see how Tanya escapes (I haven't laughed so hard in ages). Anyways, I don't think this compares to Season 1, it does rival in some bits but how many times are we going to have a murder at a White Lotus resort? I'm sure Mike White has this in mind too, right? Besides the driving force of Season 1 was the clash of the help and the rich which built to one shocking climax where although this did have its surprises, it didn't compare to how original that first installment was. I mean I enjoyed these batch of characters but none of them compare to Armond who might be the Rust Cohle of this series, someone who was so good it would be hard to top who could fit in their shoes.
I liked season 2 a lot more than the first season. I think they stand apart, and the 2nd seems to have a smoother flow.
Bringing back Coolidge for Tanya is the biggest mistake the season makes. I skipped every one of her scenes that didn’t feature Portia. Her acting is as stiff and fake as her face.
Aside from that, it was cool seeing more intertwining of stories between groups. Lucia was my absolute favorite character. Even if I cringed so hard at Albie’s white knighting being his own downfall. Expensive lesson to learn.
Although I liked season 1 more, this is still a nice one to watch. Characters are a bit “darker” and not so honest towards each other. Leaves me sometimes with a bit of a negative vibe but overall still nice to watch.
Anyone else felt the suicidal pact [sacrifice] (cringe).
It's early in, but they are going to have to go some to beat the line of Tanya asking "Who am I?" and getting the reply "Uh ... Peppa Pig?". So unexpected, so funny!
As a show, this season is gearing up to be in the same league as Succession. Amazing location, great acting.

Season 1 was great. Season 1 had good stories with the characters and progressed well. Season 2 is not so great. The story is bland and there is little to no progression with the story or characters. Each preview for the next episode keeps you thinking the characters and story will start to develop but not much has happened. It almost seems like the story is going to be rushed and thrown all together in the end.
