In the new season of HBO's The White Lotus, the rich have wandering eyes and intimate desires—and their wallets can satisfy only so much.
“I do what I want,” one character explains deep into the season about putting up with their partner’s habit of cheating, “so I’m not resentful.” In the end, the show suggests, everyone is alone. White seems to take particular pleasure in illustrating the passive aggression flowing between the pair of married couples: Cameron is a model of machismo, Daphne is the daffy housewife who may or may not have voted in the last election, and Harper believes she sees right through them. Murray Abraham), dad Dominic (Michael Imperioli), and son Albie (Adam DiMarco)—who are ostensibly visiting the small town their family’s from but who are each distracted by love interests and sexual prospects. They’re giving much of their wealth to charities, because, she boasts, they’re “not materialistic.” And yet, Cameron and Daphne seem so chic, so in love. And there are sojourns away from the resort itself, placing the wealthy characters in new contexts, aboard yachts and in rented palazzos. They’re traveling with the finance bro Cameron (Theo James) and his cheery wife, Daphne (Meghann Fahy), who seem to live an Instagram-perfect life of vacations and not reading the news. There’s Harper (Aubrey Plaza) and Ethan (Will Sharpe), a newly rich couple thanks to Ethan’s start-up, who are just getting their bearings on the tax bracket they’ve recently entered. Even Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), the lone leading character to return from the preceding season, is horny: She’s now married to Greg (Jon Gries), whom she met back in Hawaii, but their relationship has soured, and she’s desperate to keep his interest. Money plays a constant role, an elephant in the bedroom. Created by Mike White, The White Lotus became an unexpected hit for the way its first season skewered the wealthiest of the wealthy by combining absurd humor with sharp commentary on colonialism, racial politics, and class. Down at the toe of Italy’s boot, lust hangs in the air. As a receptionist informs the newly arrived guests in the second season of HBO’s The White Lotus, the objects represent a tragic folktale: When Sicily was occupied by the Moors centuries ago, a young Moorish man seduced a Sicilian girl, but after she learned that he had a family back home, she beheaded him and used his skull as a vase.

He thinks about the world from one specific viewpoint in his head, and trying to take others into account is simply too much to bear. One of the oddest things she does throughout the first few episodes is persistently offer her spa therapist, Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell), the opportunity to build her own practice off of Tanya’s dime. Something you’ll notice immediately in the new season of The White Lotus is how ungodly horny the most elderly guest at the resort is. She’s a victim of gender stereotyping and societal expectations placed upon attractive women, even in the presence of two characters who like to think they’re socially progressive. The awkward tension that emits off the screen is palpable in a way that can only be described as And no, we’re not talking about the same Armond who got to enjoy the sensual creases of Lukas Gage’s ass while performing a rim job in front of God and everyone.

It makes for a more nuanced watch as all of the players seem more evenly matched in their boorish behavior which earns them all parity when it comes to the odds of any of them ending up floating dead in the ocean.

Ah, the staticky fuzz of the HBO intro. I'm home. Okay, so the conceit is that there are multiple White Lotus hotels, and this one is off the coast of Italy.

If the floating victim is a woman, Harper does seem like the most likely candidate, though I'm not ruling out Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), Tanya's assistant who was so cruelly ordered to stay in her room and thus any misadventure that might befall her outside the safety of that room would qualify as sad irony. Given the wringer that we know a season of The White Lotus puts her characters through, I can't imagine Daphne would be so bubbly about the resort's charms. Joe Reid: In parsing that opening scene for clues, I made note that Rocco (Federico Ferrante) told Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) that a guest was found dead in the water and that other guests had died. When we first see Daphne, she’s sitting on the beach liberally spraying sunscreen — something Harper Spiller (Aubrey Plaza) is preoccupied with throughout the episode, and the reason she finds herself in an uncomfortable situation with Cameron (Theo James) in her hotel room. As of today, my money is on Ethan Spiller (Will Sharpe) being the body in the ocean, since he seems the most clueless about the duplicity of everyone around him. Though we might not be able to count on seeing copies of Discourse on Colonialism in the wild, the mystery element has carried over from Season 1.

Who will be the killer(s) and victim(s) this season? The girl spent most of her time alone, often out on her balcony tending to her plants and flowers. Later, the girl discovered that her new lover was already married, and was set to head back to his home country to be with his wife and children. On top of this, he never replied to any of her texts while she was traveling to the resort—also blaming that on work. When she puts on lingerie and makes moves on him when she first arrives he says, “What, now?” and stalks out of the room. We can blame this on the creepy statues of heads placed in every room at the White Lotus. Later, she finds two had been moved somewhere else (did he move them?) and when she brings them to him, she hears him whispering on the phone in the bathroom. When they ask why she can’t sleep and whether it’s the stress of her job, she says it’s that but also “everything that’s going on in the world.” When pressed, she’s not sure how to respond. Harper is also annoyed at the public displays of affection Daphne and Cameron constantly assault her eyes with, insisting that it must be fake. I quote her line up at the top of this post because it’s such a perfect line to open this story with. Harper asks Daphne what she does all day if she doesn’t watch the news and she says that she looks after their kids and loves to watch Dateline.

Immediately the two become entangled in a tug-of-war of performative masculinity, as the newly rich Ethan tries to pretend he’s comfortable with Cameron’s alpha-bro rich boy mindset, and as Harper struggles to understand why they’re there and Cameron casually harasses her, stripping naked when they have a moment alone.
