In a culture that likes to take sides, The White Lotus hates everybody Commentary from Madelineefry:
If you haven’t yet watched The White Lotus, now would be a good time to start. Both seasons of the HBO comedy-drama are now streaming in full, with the second season having just wrapped up its run on Sunday. Unlike the many series that Netflix drops all at once, HBO Max shows cleverly bide their time, releasing weekly and generating a cultural conversation for months. This has certainly contributed to The White Lotus’s stranglehold on pop culture. But there’s so much more to it than that.
In the latest season, a collection of rich strangers appear at the White Lotus hotel in Sicily, where they deal with their rich-people problems amid the gorgeous Italian landscape. Among the guests are two couples vacationing together, Daphne and Cameron and Harper and Ethan . There’s the Sicilian-American family looking for a “homecoming”: grandfather Bert , father Dominic , and son Albie . And, reappearing from season one, there’s the iconic heiress Tanya .
Cameron has always wanted what Ethan has, including now, his wife. A no-nonsense employment lawyer, Harper is initially repelled by Cameron’s advances. He’s brash and scoffs at #MeToo and admits he doesn’t pay attention to the news. But when a lie from Ethan begins an unbridgeable rift between him and Harper, she reveals herself to be no better than the callous upper-class elites she disdains.
When the sex-addicted Michael brings hookers into his hotel room, he soon pays the price, both figuratively and literally. One of them pretends to fall in love with Albie, also sleeping with him and eventually conning the family out of 50,000 euros. It’s Albie’s white knight mentality that allows him to succumb to what he thinks is a damsel in distress. Really, she’s just playing his ego.
