White has once again produced something as heady and intoxicating as it is sour and unsettling. This is another dose of self-sabotaging lurid luxury that makes helpless, gleeful voyeurs of us all.
You’re going to want to book a trip to Sicily, pronto, after devouring the dazzling new season of HBO’s The White Lotus. ... Sicily, and The White Lotus, are to die for. [7 - 20 Nov 2022, p.4]

I loved Season 1 and loved Season 2 even more. Jennifer Coolidge is a whirlwind throughout and steals the show. Season 2 maintains the intoxicating cinematography and ever-increasing chaos, but swaps a dash of dark comedy for more dramatic tension. Mike White is as confident as ever navigating this toxic paradise, and the web of character arcs all wrap up in a satisfying conclusion. Can’t wait for Season 3!

SEASON 2
Last year's six episodes were near flawless television, and returning ran the risk of losing the expectations game. But the new seven-episode season is comparable, and most importantly keeps the tone alive. If more sophomore seasons could learn from the "Lotus" example, television would be better for it.
This season of "The White Lotus" makes it very easy to be taken in, and the checkout may even be sweetly agonizing.
The White Lotus isn’t quite as insightful as it thinks it is and suffers from all the characters being different flavours of unlikeable (see also: House of the Dragon). But there is the implicit promise throughout that this ghastly gallery of vacationers will receive their comeuppance. Paired with the dramatic Sicilian landscape, that cocktail of sunshine and delayed schadenfreude goes down irresistibly.
While The White Lotus Season 2 is certainly gorgeous to look at, it falls a bit short once again as any sort of legitimate social commentary. It’s obvious that these people are generally awful: spoiled, self-involved, and lacking the sort of basic self-awareness we often see in so many (generally American) travelers abroad. But beyond that, is there anything worth really saying about them, or the journey they’re on?
Nobody has a real conversation; they say things at each other as if lobbing verbal tennis balls over a net, which is maybe why it all sounds so trite. Even as it skewers these people, the show is too in love with the idea of being rich to really consider the rot at its core.
Didn't like it quite as much as the first season but this season is still excellent and still my favorite new show on television. Great cast and writing, plenty of suspense, laughs and drama. I really liked Jeniffer Coolidge, Michael Imperioli and Italian actress Sabrina Impacciatore although all the players are fantastic. Loved the setting and the finale was brilliant, can't wait for the next run!
