HBO has signed on Mike White for a second season of The White Lotus. That’s…odd. It was a unique show made in a unique time (filmed in a self-contained “bubble” during Covid). I don’t really see how it could be continued on in any meaningful way.
jonattonyeah its set at a different White Lotus location and features an all new cast. But agreed, it is a dumb idea. Should have let it be a stand alone thing.
Stopped my Netflix subscription. Was spending so much time trying to find stuff then being very underwhelmed by the content.
zackster Zackster i watched the first episode of this last night on your recomendation. Never again.
9/10? Catch a fucking grip.
seanc80 Done three last night. some bits are funny but it’s not that good.

I figured it would be very Marmite for many. Some of the nuances around privilege and how people communicate could be uniquely American. One of the reasons I didn’t bring up the show previously.
seanc80 Sean’s review? 🥔🥔 ½
Zackster wears Veja’s and Birkenstocks.
That’s all I’m saying.
jonattonyeah The rest of the world has a fair idea of Americans and their manerisms mate.
They arent exactly the uncontacted tribes of the Peruvian Amazon.
There were 2 funny bits in the first episode. And that gets a 9 out of 10.
Grotesque misuse of the rating system imo. In actual fact Zack should be banned from usuing this sytem for tv/films ever again.
I didn’t give it a 9 out of 10 ya loon.
jonattonyeah Zack did
Yeah, fair. Guess I’m just trying to hedge as to why some might not like the show. I personally enjoyed it.
seanc80 They arent exactly the uncontacted tribes of the Peruvian Amazon.
Lol!
So we agree that it was a bit nuanced for Sean yeah? Shame on me for bringing HBO into a Netflix thread. Sean have you seen Ted Lasso?
zackster No ‘we’ dont agree Zack. What ‘we’ do agree on is that recomondations from you on comedy should be resoundingly rejected.
I agree with Sean and haven’t watched it yet
Millsy I agree with Sean and haven’t watched it yet
A lol for Millsy!
Think Steve Zahn’s character might have hit a little too close to home
The Aussie resort manager steals the show. Hilarious
alistair He’s well funny. Hoping he has a complete meltdown at the end…No spoilers.
alistair absolutely fantastic. What a spin on Basil Fawlty. Haven’t found an actor/performance I’ve enjoyed that much in quite some time.
