"Didn't watch Severence. Didn't watch Succession. Just felt the need to brag."
"Truly lazy comedy. Let's just crib the plot of a popular show, claim it as our own and replace the characters with Trump people."
"In order Olivia and Paula from *White Lotus* (S1)"
"Last nights episode was incredible. Mike White is amazing at building tension, and Sam Rockwell's speech was the funniest thing I've seen on TV this year."
"Absolutely magnificent. I'd forgotten what great TV looked like. I'm seeing some comments saying people were "disappointed" or that it was too "soapy," and I honestly don't agree at all."
"If I was staying at the White Lotus I wouldn't be having an existential crisis. I'd just be having a good time. 😎"
"I didn't see it in White Lotus but I'm so in love with her now. Great picks too. Next film I'm gonna watch will be Broadcast News."
"anyways mike white is the best tv writer right now, bar none."
"Quentin from White Lotus is truly aspirational - knows what's important in life - living a truly Epicurean existence - generous to his many friends - defined style that fits his personal philosophy"
"I've been watching White Lotus. Fun show, but when I first looked it up to see what it's about/find a trailer, I saw all these Vulture-type articles calling it 'a biting social satire' and 'a stale entry about the rich white people problem.'"
"Its just more light entertainment like White lotus or euphoria or some shit. Like you should feel slightly guilty to be watching it"
"It's started out like a series version of one of those old Robert Altman large ensemble dramadies than progressively heavier than those. It really was all about class in the end. My main criticism is the only black character in the cast is the only one without real flaws"
"I just know Audrey Plaza's character has 'vaccinated 💉' in her Twitter bio. I love the prostitute characters though. And Jennifer Coolidge is always a scene-stealer."
"I'm a little bored and therefore asking if you have any good recs on what to watch? I have already seen Succession and White Lotus."
"Who caught the "memetic desire" reference on tonight's White Lotus . Love you Mike White 😍🥰"
"I think White Lotus S2 is fundamentally about old versus new. Through some characters, this is obvious. The tension between Alfie, the dad, and the grandpa, we see all the differences in cultural norms clash throughout the show."
"In the first ep somebody asks what all the abacuses around the hotel are for and a concierge explains that they symbolize math. Then near the end of every ep when a lot of dramatic tension is building there's a heavy-handed slow zoom on an abacus"
"Just watched the first season after being badgered by friends calling it a 'must-see' and a 'masterpiece' and was deeply disappointed. Of course maybe it's because my expectations were too high after everyone hyped it so much but I really don't feel like it's a very good show. Meaningless plot, unin"
"She's been famous for like 6 months and she's now instigated her third celebrity beef. There's no way this is sustainable behavior for a long and successful career."
"i dont get what everyones saying because this season has been absolutely hilarious. buck teeth twisting the knife into saxon, the mom who numbs herself but clearly knows her daughter, the chinese girl gaitok loves with the great smile. i love this show."
"Aside from a few small shortcomings, Quentin from White Lotus is truly aspirational"
"White Lotus Season 2, The Curse, Hannah & Her Sisters."
"I just know Audrey Plaza's character has "vaccinated 💉" in her Twitter bio. I love the prostitute characters though. And Jennifer Coolidge is always a scene-stealer."
"Who caught the "memetic desire" reference on tonight's White Lotus . Love you Mike White"
"I think White Lotus S2 is fundamentally about old versus new. Through some characters, this is obvious."
"The incest, the autogynephile, the aging discourse and Jaclyn jumping at every instance of them being old mentioned, Parker Posey and the buddhist daughter, the suicide… IT FINALLY GOT GOOD. I think this could be the best season."
