My wife watched season two of The White Lotus when it was being released, and a lot of the time I would catch a scene here or there. I didn’t know the full plot of everything, but I knew pretty much the main gist of the season.
After sitting down together to watch season two recently, I’m kind of mad that I didn’t watch it originally with her. Knowing the bulk of the plot took away a lot of the drama, especially in finding out who dies.
Ok, spoiler, I knew that Jennifer Coolidge would die. I knew all about the Tiktok sounds of (insert Coolidge voice) “These days are trying to murder me.” HOWEVER, I did not know how exactly she would die, and watching her the all Atomic Blonde before slipping and hitting her head was a pleasant surprise. Nailed it.
The other two storylines were incredibly uncomfortable for most of the season.
I really didn’t like a lot of anything that happened with the couple’s vacation of Meghann Fahy, Theo James, Aubrey Plaza, and Will Sharpe. Both Cameron (James) and Ethan (Sharpe) will hit their wives in the future. Every scene they were in was so uncomfortable, because I thought they were going to abuse their partner. Great acting, but incredibly uncomfortable feeling.
The story following the three generations of F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli, and Adam DiMarco was also sad and pathetic. All three were great in the rules though. Of course, Mr. Abraham would also go and get himself kicked off of one of my favorite shows Mythic Quest for being a gross old man.
Lucia and Mia were great though. More of them one day, please.
I had a great time with season two of The White Lotus, even if I kind of knew what was coming. I’m excited to watch season three with my wife, because I won’t let her watch this without me.
