The first season was absolutely brilliant. The second was very good still.
Television White Lotus
- Thread starter Jericholyte2
- Start date
Rich Americans (mostly) behaving badly - it's good satirical TV. Season 2 had better and more varied locations but needed a unifying character like the Aussie hotel manager in Hawaii.
Both seasons great, preferred s1 personally but really loved them both.
Absolutely detested Jennifer Coolidge in S1, but to my surprise the character grew on me in S2.
Season 1 was peak telly for me, but the production was fantastic for both
Same here, which is why I preferred the 2nd by a smidge.
Perfect place for tourists to die tbf.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_SobhrajI feel like this is the second time you've done this. What does it mean?
Ah. I was thinking more the random backpacker deaths you get that they blame on random farmers to protect rich families kids.
I had a feeling it would be Thailand after I read somewhere there was going to be some sort of Buddhist theme going on in S3.
Nice setting, but it's so cheap there. Wonder how they'll show the indulgence of the ultra rich.
Koh Samui is definitely not cheap
Are you joking? What an insular post.
It's cheap if you're happy to sleep on a bunk bed in a room with 11 other people yeah. There are also plenty of places for the rich to have their way, like everywhere else in the world.
True. But before the pandemic, Thailand was one of the most popular places for young people to go to because of the low COL.
you know they're not mutually exclusive, right? It's possible to go to some countries both with and without lots of money. Thailand has some of the most luxurious resorts in the world.
The UK is a cheap place to live, have you been to Bradford? It’s also quite expensive, have you been to London?
Fair enough, I was thinking Bali might've been more suitable, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.
Bali isn’t Buddhist like the rest of Indonesia. It’s predominantly Hindu.
It was surprisingly easy to get weed in Bali for somewhere that gives you the death penalty for it.
Interestingly it looks like the cost of living is even lower in Bali.
Ah that might be another reason why then.
They were trying to set you up
I remember reading an interview with Mike White and he said he wanted to film each season in a different continent so Asia makes sense.
I bet he does. The locations in this are absolutely stunning. Great way to see some of the most beautiful sights the world has to offer in absolute luxury.
I have been in the restaurant and pool from season 1, it's absolutely breathtaking.
If by "the rest of Indonesia" you mean somewhere around 1% of the population?
Indonesia is like 90% muslim.
I remember some guy in a bush offering me weed there.
Doh of course it is.
Didnt really fancy it at first, but it really grew on me. Phenomenal show
Great cultural insights of South East Asia going on in here.
Walton Goggins and the girl from Sex Education, didn't see them as a couple!
not a fan of their new “clean-up service charge.”
Nice.
Looks good. The budgets and the sets are getting bigger season on — which is cool, but I actually think S1 was my favourite because it was the most ‘contained’
Season 1 was brilliant, 2 was still very enjoyable. Looking forward.
