Mandaris

I do not know where they are going to go from here. I feel that all the actors really did a great job doing their individual roles. I found them to be believable on a lot of levels. But, I don't feel excited about visiting The White Lotus again in the future.

The White Lotus is like a sugary treat. It’s nice but you shouldn’t eat too much of it.

This season promised and delivered more of the same things that we saw in other seasons; people behaving poorly in exotic location.

I’m ok with that, because it’s part of the shows DNA. It takes a spotlight to the inequities involved with these vacation resorts. Other have written about this so much better than I have, so I won’t go into details¹.

I felt the acting was amazing in this, but overall the season felt rushed and yet too long at the same time. I later found out that some things were edited out of the show due to our current political climate and maybe that’s what I’m needing to get this show over the top.

Overview

Set at a luxurious wellness resort in Thailand, the lives of wealthy guests and dedicated staff intertwine in unexpected ways. The season explores themes of privilege, personal transformation, and cultural contrasts, all set against the backdrop of stunning locales and intricate social dynamics.
