We are watching White Lotus. The conclusion is:
combination of Murder she wrote and Fantasy Island.
The title sequences have award winning artwork and the show is worth watching if only for those graphics. We are on season 3. Right now, other than Walton Goggins and his girlfriend, the rest of them could easily just fall in a hole somewhere and not be missed.
Jennifer Coolidge does a great job of playing a self absorbed annoying rich woman who stumbles through life nearly clueless in the first 2 seasons. Tom Hollander is wonderful and demonstrates such range as an actor, that it's a real pleasure to see him act no matter what he's in (Season 2).
There's some good talent on here but the group of 3 girlfriends in the 3rd season is so shallow and artificial as to beggar belief. They surely could come up with some better dialogue than this. Anyway, in for an inch, in for a pound or whatever that saying is, we'll slog through the 3rd season.
EDIT: well that was amusing to a moderate degree with a disappointing ending. This show likes to provide disappointing ending. I guess it makes it "edgy" or something. I can't say I hated it but I have certainly seen better. They sure threw money at it. The sets were fabulous and they hired good actors. Just the writing that was predictable or disappointing in some way.
If anyone has suggestions for some thing else worth watching, I'm all ears!
