I have barely been watching anything, but I had seen the first season of this, which I really enjoyed. I'm caught up on this season -- I'm not as into it (I feel like they aren't giving us as many subplots), but I'm still enjoying trying to figure out who is going to die and why.

I loved the first season because of Murray but this season seems a bit slower to me although Jennifer Coolidge on the scooter had me LOL. I can’t guess who is going to die this time.

Yes, I just watched episode 4 of season 2 on the train on the way to work this morning. I agree that it is a bit slower than season 1, but I am really enjoying it.

I just watched ep 1 of season 2. I was totally cracking up over the opening credits. Love it!

I've tried several times to get through the first season and I'm almost there, but those people are all awful.

I’m enjoying the season very much so far. Another great group of actors, and the choice of Sicily as the location is really interesting.
I’ve always been weirdly attracted to Michael Imperioli, so it’s good to have him back on my screen again.

I really liked season 1 but season 2 isn't holding my interest. I'll keep trying.

I'm enjoying the current season. I don't get why Harper just didn't confront Ethan about the condom wrapper...I know I would have!! Of course now you know he is going to find it since she left it laying on the counter and he is going to think it was hers.
It's been a pretty good season so far, I think. I love the scenery in Italy.

Angry and/or completely unmoored and can't get her thoughts together. I loved that shot of just the undulations of the sea to show her emotions. |

Season 1 was a masterpiece but s2 is.. not so great. I remember seeing rumors of a ski lodge before the season was announced so I hope they go that way for s3.
At this point I'm only here for Theo James ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I watched. Tanya is so incredibly naive. “The resemblance is uncanny”. I was literally yelling at the tv at that point.

I actually loved the ending. Tonya had to die, but I'm glad she went out in a blaze of glory. I think Portia is too much of a wimp to tell the authorities what really happened because her only concern will be for her own safety. Tonya's husband will get the money, but he'll spend the rest of his life wondering if whoever killed the gangsters he hired to kill his wife will come after him.
I think all the other characters are just basically going to continue to be who they were before they came to the island. Ethan and Harper might be the only ones to benefit from their experience in Sicily, but who knows how long that will last.
I would have loved to see everyone's final hotel bill! Why did they keep eating at the hotel restaurant when there must have been dozens of wonderful restaurants nearby!!! |

I loved both seasons. First season reminds me of my early motherhood days, I would watch it on the couch while my son napped on top of me with the white noise machine playing ocean sounds. Total immersive experience.
Second season was great too. I loved Daphne so much, the actress was in one of my favorite shows The Bold Type so I was thrilled to see her get so much attention on The White Lotus, I hope she gets more work after this!
My husband and I gasped at Tanya’s ending. We were so frustrated with her in the end but at least she got to have a blaze of glory.

Even though a bulk of this season was a slog to get through the finale redeemed every single thing for me. Spoilers from finale below so skip over if need be~~ "Do you know these gays?? DO YOU KNOW THESE GAYS?!?" "the gays are going to murder me! ...so they can decorate their houses or whatever" was peak tanya, loved it. Daphne and ethan DEFINTIELY banged on that island there is zero doubt about it, I almost thought she was going to push him off a rock or something and he'd be the body but once she turned around all seductively you knew it was her one-upping cam and bringing ethan into it. he and harper have mirrored daph and cam in a mere week! I was literally yelling at my tv "OH THEY'RE THE BODY" with each new scene lmao. albie was so so so naive in every which way + it was clear from the start lucia was taking the money and running. and by the shot of all the di grasso men at the airport they'll never change  when jack left portia at the airport (which btw WHY WOULD YOU EVER CONFRONT A MAN WHO KIDNAPPED YOU IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE LIKE THE CAR?!!) and mentioned how these were ~powerful~ men, I'm thinking ummmmmmm no?? they're all broke as shit! what power do you have without money?! I'm left wondering what happens with greg. does portia spill the beans or is she too scared? will an investigation be made that connects him with the group on the yacht? at the end mike white mentioned exploring death and religion in the east.. someone on oh no they didn't said they hoped greg takes a trip to asia and is haunted by tanya -- i'd be up for that. all in all, super happy with the finale. a big ass mess of crappy people. also, portias clothes were terrrrrrrrible. that skirt with the top was so hard to look at lol |

I was super disappointed in this whole season. It was just ok but so frustrating. I didn’t like the ending at all.

Perhaps it was all inclusive - the price to stay included all the meals
I was a bit disappointed as to who was found in the water.

I was happy to see Tanya go. I didn't like her character at all. Too moody and naive. I too was wondering why they only stayed in the hotel. Even if it is an all inclusive, I wouldn't have spent every single day at the hotel. I know, suspend disbelief but still.

Not hiding spoilers.
After listening to Mike White's interview on NPR, I understood the season better. Exploring all the avenues of sex.
The cinematography of both seasons make me want to go to both these places. Absolutely gorgeous. I loved using music from the locale for the soundtrack.
I wonder if they will even go into the Greg storyline any more. It really doesn't matter. I recognized the picture immediately. Tanya is funny as hell. She went out exactly as she should. Loved that she killed all the gays and asked the guy at the end of Greg cheated on her. Classic.
Portia. Just dumb.
Unfortunately the change in the DiGrassi men is that Albie will probably follow in his father's footsteps. He lost his naivety in Sicily. I loved his character. He was such a nice person. I didn't hate Lucia for taking advantage of him. It was the dad's money in the end. Murray Abraham was a hoot.
I love that Mia slept with the right person to get her job because the singer was such a jerk.
Ethan and Daphne absolutely had sex that was the only way Ethan could move on. He didn't believe Harper. Revenge on Cameron and his wife. Daphne revenge on her husband. What a great lifestyle!

I am so used to fast moving shows with stuff happening all the time. I like the slow unfolding of the storyline with the shots of the location and the soundtrack. I put my phone away and actually pay attention to what is going on.
