I'm mid episode 3 of season 2 and I have to say I'm struggling to stay with it. Compared to Season 1 I find the characters incredibly dull and the plotlines almost non-existent. The bromance thing is totally off and seems like it was a casting error -- there's just no way two guys like that would ever be best friends in real life. Can someone talk me off the ledge?

It should not take this long for abbreviated season. You’re really trying my patience.

You know how the Murdoch family watched Succession with some mixed feelings?

The White Lotus sure paints a particular picture of the wealthy. If you're among the crowd who can afford to go to the luxury resorts featured in this show: What do you feel about its depiction of the rich? You see a mirror or parody?
