The story’s characters are Nicole Mossbacher, her husband Mark, their teenage daughter Olivia, and her friend Paula who all take their family drama to this idyllic location. Rachel and Shane are young couple that starting a new life together but they meet struggles when Shane becomes obsessed with the couple’s subpar living situation, including dealing with hotel manager Armond who must deal with substance abuse problems. Tanya McQuoid is a woman who lost her family member and looks for solace with whom she forms other kind of intimacy with the spa manager Belinda.
With the progression of the movie’s actions the relations between the tourists and the servants become tense and reveal the problems of hierarchy and the human vices. Armond’s fall continues as he gets into a nasty encounter with Shane which sees a horrific happening changing the feel of the resort.
Thanks to the sarcasm and an impressive insight into the modern society, and outstanding cast, particularly Jennifer Coolidge, who played Tanya Season 1 was a success and received numerous positive reviews. The satirical nature combined with the rather confronting aspect of mystery makes this series a rather memorable part of modern television journalism.
Summary of The White Lotus: Season 2
The second season is set in a luxurious resort of Sicily, Italy, and is written and co-directed by Mike White. This season explores the ideas of cheating, lust and dominance/submit among the new set of elite visitors.
The underlying idea includes the character of Tanya McQuoid – the woman who is played by Jennifer Coolidge – and her husband Greg; the latter’s indifference that makes people doubt. Tanya, then, meets a group of locals headed by the rather mysterious Quentin with rather unclear intentions. Two married couples played by versatile actors Ethan and Harper and Cameron and Daphne, struggle for hidden agendas and feelings of jealousy that may clip their wings. At the same time, Italian-American head of the family Bert, his son Dominic, and grandson Albie explore different ages’ conception of manhood and get tangled with two escorts, Lucia and Mia.
Lucia and Mia masterfully drive the actions of the guests to resolve their problems and screw them over – the dominant theme of the season. The storyline becomes dramatic and sad until the end that Tanya does not only discover a betrayal but also dies.
What about the second season?
Season 2 balances the threads of mystery, the element of comedy, and character study, and portrays Sicilian beauty against the gritty, moral-ambivalent characters at the show’s core. The season has been praised for performances, and especially seeing Jennifer Coolidge, Aubrey Plaza, and Meghann Fahy; overall it has been noted for its brilliantly written and aptly satirical handling of plotlines.
