I genuinely don’t understand the fuss about JC. She acted the role as if the character had some form of cerebral impairment or cognitive processing issue, spoke her lines as if she’d never spoken a sentence out loud before, and her primary character trait was that she was perpetually either baffled or amazed by the simplest of occurrences.Yeah I'm not fussed about JC being back. She's OK in small doses and was good in the role but she certainly isn't the main draw.
It's the writing and direction. They have cast it perfectly so far so as long as the story is as good as the last two then it will be fine
So true! I don’t understand the hype around her and her character. It was as if she’d recently risen from a coma and had forgotten how to express herself.spoke her lines as if she’d never spoken a sentence out loud before
She seems to play the same character in everythingSo true! I don’t understand the hype around her and her character. It was as if she’d recently risen from a coma and had forgotten how to express herself.
i like her but if she wins the emmy over sarah snook (like is being predicted) i will be so mad!!So true! I don’t understand the hype around her and her character. It was as if she’d recently risen from a coma and had forgotten how to express herself.
I like her performance too but she already won an Emmy last year give someone else a go! Not that the Emmys ever use that rational mentalityi like her but if she wins the emmy over sarah snook (like is being predicted) i will be so mad!!
they’ve also moved white lotus from limited series into drama series this year, which means they’re going up against big competition (ie succession, better call saul etc). coolidge pretty much swept actress in a limited series but she’ll struggle in drama i think. but i’m just pulling heavily for snook after that last succession ep!I like her performance too but she already won an Emmy last year give someone else a go!

do we think Jennifer will be in supporting or main categories? She won supporting last time (I think) but I’m wondering if HBO might submit her as main because she’s the only returning cast member and she had the memes each episode. I don’t think we will see nearly as many nominations as we did for S1 because the drama categories are so stacked - I’m thinking Aubrey (maybe Megan) in supporting, Jennifer in main and maybe a rogue nomination for Theo James in supporting actorthey’ve also moved white lotus from limited series into drama series this year, which means they’re going up against big competition (ie succession, better call saul etc). coolidge pretty much swept actress in a limited series but she’ll struggle in drama i think. but i’m just pulling heavily for snook after that last succession ep!
agree, I did think Sydney Sweeney and Connie Britton knocked out of the park in season 1 thoughHonestly as much as I liked it, none of the acting screams award worthy
the rumour is that she’ll push for main and so free up supporting for the other actresses. again, that puts her against major competition who she shouldn’t beat really!do we think Jennifer will be in supporting or main categories?

fully agree for this series.Honestly as much as I liked it, none of the acting screams award worthy
Indeed. It was pleasant enough diverting froth and it filled a few evenings, but it wasn’t ‘WOW!’ television .Honestly as much as I liked it, none of the acting screams award worthy
I would respectfully disagree!! I was HOOKED on Season 1 like wishing my days away so I could watch the next episodeIndeed. It was pleasant enough diverting froth and it filled a few evenings, but it wasn’t ‘WOW!’ television .
I enjoyed it, for sure, but to me it just feels more of a glossy, ‘soapy’ type of thing - bags of fun in an ‘oooh, aren’t some rich people hilariously, cringe-inducingly awful?’ type of way, but not especially meaningful or with a great deal of depth.I would respectfully disagree!! I was HOOKED on Season 1 like wishing my days away so I could watch the next episodeseason 2 was still great but season 1 was more up my street
I wonder if the next series will refer to some kind of legal challenges about where Tanya's money goes!!‘The White Lotus’ Heading To Thailand For Season 3
Mike White and his revolving cast of characters are heading to Thailand for the third season of The White Lotus, Deadline has confirmed. The first season of the HBO series was filmed and shot in Maui, Hawaii and season two was in Sicily, Italy. White and his team are now heading to Thailand...deadline.com
Thailand next! Didn’t someone in this thread have a theory about that?
I agree, I think the writing is brilliant. And although all the actors are great, neither series screamed award worthy acting personally.I think you need to watch both series more than once to get all the subtlety!
I watched season 2, and enjoyed it, then watched it again with my daughter, laughed a lot more and connected a lot more of the threads!
Theres a lot of tangled links. like the sexist grandfather, father and son, being taken for a ride by Lucia. In a way its nice to see the sex worker abusing her clients, instead of vice versa! And their positivity and entitlement, when they want to meet distant relatives in Sicily!
I too loved Essex Jack and Tom Hollander as his Uncle, and the way they set up Tanya, almost as a sacrifice to their need for money, they pampered her, took her to the opera and spoilt her rotten, and then the whole thing went sour!
Essex Jack was trying to have fun with Portia, trying to keep her out of the way, and he did take her to the airport.
I did think a lot of the characters were so shallow, and unlikeable, it must be hard for the actors, to get much of a character out of them. I didn't quite get the interactions between Ethan & Harper and Daphne & Cameron. I didn't see enough of the characters or their motivation, to have a clue about what was meant to be going on there! There was obvious game playing and exploitation, but what was the game and who ended up being exploited?
I think you need to watch both series more than once to get all the subtlety!
If it wasn’t for the last episode of season 2 I would have agreed with you as I am also a massive Murray Bartlett fan. But fuck me, that last episode in S2 has to be some of the best television I’ve ever seen in my life!I also preferred season 1!
