White Lotus e came HBO In the middle of summer 2021, we were almost out the back door, still dragging the consequences of the disaster. Pandemic. One of these miniseries required having a single season to switch between beach or pool while enjoying a mojito. It didn’t take long for it to become one of the most acclaimed productions of that year, confirming his promise that there are no more small dramas for the summer months. After its second season, it can be said that it became one of the biggest successes of the platform in the period of 2018. Uncertainty from merger with Discovery and changes in the company’s leadership, where even self-produced titles disappeared from its catalog.
When were they delivered? Emmy Last September, we all already knew that the second season of The White Lotus would air in a few weeks, but no one cared if the first episode was wiped out as the best miniseries. Mini-series but no sequel now? The audience congratulated the well-deserved award while the academics put the clip on their nose and voted. With White Lotus, it was confirmed that if a good story is designed for a single episode but is captivating audiences, ways to keep it going will already be found. It’s happened in Big Little Lies, it’s happened in True Detective, it’s apparently going to recur in Mare of Easttown, and of course it’s happened in The White Lotus. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes not. And when done well, not just for stretching the gum, it is always appreciated.
creation Mike White Not only did the last episode sweep again in its second episode, which aired this Monday, the timer has already started counting the remaining days. premiere of the thirdwhy highly verified. A prime example of HBO’s reliance on this series is its selection of Monday as the prequel to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon. After finishing the sequel, it’s worth asking whether the first or the second is better. I have my doubts but the last few weeks hum in italian and swallow new episodes as they air. Unlike previous examples, this sequel lived up to the first and has nothing to envy.
To justify the sequels, The White Lotus was approached as an anthology series in which each season would tell us a standalone story set in 2000. luxury resorts with the same name in different cities of the world. The first installment led us to white hawaii beaches, the second time we jumped into the waters Mediterrenian and more specifically Italian island of Sicily. It’s time to dazzle you with its splendor. Sicilian Renaissance mansions. As in the first installment, we find ourselves in an idyllic setting with the unfortunate riches in a plot where all the ingredients are cooked without interruption but in a hurry so that all the ingredients provide enough tension at the right time.
From the first minute of the first episode, We know someone will die. This was another of the golden rules set in the first season. The fun is trying to figure out who the victim will be. A statement that will not come until the last minutes of the final episode. It was as if we were in a mix between a novel. Christie Agatha and a section vacation at sea, we have a new lineup of candidates and luxury players too many to kill. The experience was combined with other translators who are more unknown but who know how to provide a sufficient amount of fresh air. We warn you that there will be spoilers from now on.
From the very first moment we were able to rule out the hotel manager, in this case the manager, as the prospective victim of this new installment. As soon as the body is discovered, he makes a statement in front of the Police. Or rather, corpses. The maxim of any sequel is to give the same but more than before. A murray barlett It happens to Italians when dealing with some hideously wealthy clients. sabrina impacciatore. The two characters have much in common, in addition to their location, like their attraction to people of the same sex. But the similarities between the resort’s custodians and a season end there.
The link between the two episodes of the series is the character he portrays. Jennifer Coolidge Recast as Tanya. The actress is taking an unexpected return to the first line after her first season Emmy, her role in Vigilante (another hit by Ryan Murphy on Netflix), and her participation in this new installment of White Lotus. Coolidge has managed to set the bar very high. If someone thought they’d host us to introduce us to the new characters of season three, they might forget it because in the end, they’re the victim. I warned you it was a spoiler, right? With the precedent set in this second installment, all these recurring characters in the third have enough numbers to be corpses The first chapter opens with this. But as we saw earlier in the example of the hotel manager, this need not be a fixed rule either.
In the end, Tanya faced a tragic death that was swallowed up in the depths of the sea, despite the desperate last moments she fought for her life. A heroic escape that ends in a stupid fall. We couldn’t believe that he would be the one to die in such a leap until we realized that the victim could be none other than him. Tania starred in her own version, in her own way. lady butterflythat opera that managed to bring tears to your eyes in an Italian theater. If you went to film in Sicily, it was inevitable that the mafia would spawn somewhere.
Conspiracy to end Tania’s life appears a great loose ending This can be resolved in the next chapters. By the way, doesn’t it look a bit? screwed up the investigation the ones on the yacht? The plot of Tania’s death leads us to the conclusion that some of the players involved in this Sicilian journey will have to repeat themselves in the new resort, but the different factions that make up the cast haven’t interacted too much with each other. other. . The characters of only two prostitutes (Simona Tabasco Y Beatrice Granny) are the ones that interact the most with the different guest groups of luxury properties, but we can consider it thrown in for future deliveries. Will Portia come back?Haley Lu Richardson) Tania’s young assistant, maybe? Greg (Jon Gries) widow, Tania’s intellectual murderer and wealthy heir? We already knew there was so little love in that couple, but we didn’t expect it to go this far.
The second of the groups consists of the millennial grandfather, father and son of an Italian-American family who travel to Sicily to find their roots. Here we find another heavyweight of the cast, F Murray IbrahimContinuing to give us great performances, now on the small screen. Either in Homeland or Mythic Quest. it was hard for me to recognize Michael Imperioli, far from the role that prompted him to play in The Sopranos, here he is family man and hollywood producer with problems sex addiction. It was inevitable that mafia insinuations would come from him. Their tangential role in Tania’s plan amply demonstrates that we can eliminate them as well.
The third group consists of two married couples who decided to spend a few days at the resort. Of these two couples, aubrey square I discovered this summer Parks and Recreations (a gem saved by HBO this summer). He somehow continues to play the same character, but there is a certain maturity behind him. His interpretation became one of the assets of these new episodes. Her husband Ethan (will be Sharpe) was born with a huge fortune after the sale of his company and he will celebrate it with this trip with one of his best friends from college. This colleague, who has always enjoyed getting what Ethan is after, Theo JamesAfter the sadly canceled The Weather Man’s Woman, which he reprized in another HBO series this year, he developed his brave role after becoming an action hero in the epic. divergent. Tensions from suspicions of infidelity are served here.
Mike White has already revealed that he is considering a country in Asia for future episodes and that the theme will be death and oriental spirituality. Each installment is focused on a specific theme. The former had class struggle, the latter had sex and power. Sharing a trip, these two married couples say at the end of the final episode that they will repeat their trip to the Maldives the following year. A tip for the new location?
