Given the number of murders that occurred in White Lotus resorts since the HBO series began, in 2021, one wonders why visitors continue to circulate on them. It is clear that at least some guests in their property in Thailand-the preparation of the third season, which was shown on February 16-did not conduct their research: Timothy Ratelev (Jason Ishaq), a committed financing man, only, learns the policy of “getting rid of digital toxins” Free from the phone when he and his family arrive. But being in the “opposite end of the land”, at the beginning, is the torment of it at the beginning, it is exactly the call of other travelers. Some decide to stay forever. In the face of one of these residents in the long run, Timothy recalls a fateful saying: “Anyone who moves to Thailand is looking for something or hiding something.”
This season of “The White Lotus” continues in the tradition that the two previous two placed, as it was opened in a luxury destination, then he was filled again a week, with the implicit promise of the mystery of the murder in the opposite direction: Who dies, and how? It also provides new questions about what every guest hides or searches for. Not all their motives are convincing. Rick (Walton Gugs), a middle -aged man who publishes misery wherever he goes, at first he simply rises when he was pressed by his younger girlfriend, Chelsea (Emmy Le Wood), about the reason they are obligated to the island; His decision is ultimately explained by a tragic background that I thought he was tampering with the hotel employee who revealed it. The most obvious logical basis is the Ratelev clan, a southern family consisting of five individuals with only one moral compass. The middle child, Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), hopes, in an interview with a famous Buddhist monk for her university thesis, which becomes suitable for her stay in White Lotus Thailand directed towards wellness-although she violates the same place as “Disney Land Bohemians of the wealthy of Malibu in pants Lulmona yoga. Forty on a journey for girls who look at the atmosphere of the resort carefully, even, suddenly, no.
At this stage of the award race in the show, it is almost without saying that its Creator, Mike White, is sparkling in the housing in which most of his characters abound. One of the guests, through a reflection session dedicated by a hotel employee in a glass wall hut, behind which a tropical grove of the sun is located in the sun that provokes both brutality of nature and how it can be tamed in order to enjoy a song. . You can practically smell the detailed smell that may have been inserted into the Ranbout of each location of the international series, which is an unambiguous, sophisticated and sophisticated bouquet.
There is something similar to working in the third season, which is an unspeakable application of the formula that gives decrease in revenue. Not only the characters that look a little lost in Thailand; White does also. The bidder talked about his interest in exploring spiritual tourism, which started a troop from the previous HBO series, “Enlightned”. But the first six episodes of the eight season – the part for review – touches on the eastern religion, and the interest of Piper mostly frams as a threat to her mother, Victoria (Parker Bossi), and her way of life. (The Ratlif Matriarch, which stands out for Torzepam, precedes her in Ratel, and evaluating the “decency” around her, tells her daughter that she cannot be Buddhist: “My dear, you are not from China.)) , Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), which announces that Buddhism is for cheese. “They are afraid,” he says, summarizes his view of their muscle as “not related, they have no desires, do not even try.”
The third season is not without his thorny notes, especially the dynamics of Western jet standards in Southeast Asia. Victoria embodies the type of international traveler who is completely unaware of its attack, at some point that mixes Thailand to Taiwan, and mocks the early scene to the so-called LBHS- returning to the homeland-unbridled white men who descend to the region to the region attract the type of women who will not look at them Twice in their countries of origin. Accordingly, this season is filled with transactions. It seems that Chelsea, a golden gold hole, is able to witch for everyone except for its weakening partner. Her new friend Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) is a former model who persuaded herself that she won a good prize that does not exceed Greg (John Grace), the older man, then killed the unhappy heir Tania (Jennifer College) in season 2. (Why feels comfortable In a foot mode inside a white lotus feature yet Which – which The accident is another mystery. His delicate shelter is that he is now going to my neighbor).
The season as a whole feels trapped between tones: not enough enough to face what is happening in a country in which foreigners can buy almost anything they want at the right price, nor butterfly enough to display the Baroque strangeness of the wealthy. Rick pulled Chelsea to Thailand for an amazing work of personal revenge, and it seems that it is in a completely different offer from the three blond friends, who have known each other since childhood but spend most of their time drinking in Twos while admitting harshly around the third absentee. The three-one of them is a successful actress in Los Angeles (Michel Monagan), one of New York (Carrie Kun), one of the increasingly conservative social in Austin (Leslie Pep)-was written with a sudden shallow, especially looking at White. Other female creations. (It is also disappointing that White, whose friendships with Hollywood actresses are an insight into the effort required to maintain relationships through the teams of fame and wealth. From the first season who promised a life opportunity by Tania after a few renewable sessions and ignoring them at the same speed. It also throws the Thai K-Pop star Lisa as an ambitious hotel employee in a low sweet love story with an employee colleague (Tayme Thaptthong) but it is often a reminder that the white is much better in writing bad characters than that of the gentle.
By default, then, raatlifs appears as shapes that must be followed. Victoria early is proud to be a “ordinary family”, and the most interesting thing about them is the repression needed to appear very noticeable. Although she is surrounded by her loved ones, Victoria looks just weak as Tania is the only; She made her arrogance and knee contempt in the knee blind from the actual risks of her capture and evil for anyone outside. (Posey makes her character well known but she is no longer sympathetic to her; as expected, she is also an excellent way for White Withing Papts.) While Victoria revolves around her daughter’s search for an alternative value system, Saxon-Al Alt is very intense. A right nightmare with unhealthy attention in both his brothers ’sexual life – his younger brother, Luchelan (Sam Nifola), is heading in a boys, focusing on hoops, male -free male. When the husband is alone in their joint room, Sexon wanders and predicts his sister. “It is very hot,” qualifies, “but I don’t think it has been put before.”
This repression is moved to be punctured as soon as it falls, not a saxon or Victoria, but Ratelv Batuvilias, which first cracks. It is about to be exposed to his role in some major financial crimes, Timothy delivers all his devices and begins at the bottom of his wife’s pills. Nobody needs more urgent to the teachings of Buddha – “Don’t related, you have no desires, do not even try” – from the man whose desires were governed by his family. But it does not happen to him that the solution of his ordeal may stare at him. What we get instead is somewhat Christian: Bushian’s vision of nudity and woe. ♦
