Since its premiere in 2021, The White Lotus has become one of the most acclaimed phenomena of recent series. With its Eat the Rich premise that seeks to ridicule the usual practices of the rich when they go on vacation, the first two seasons, both completely independent, are a gem of entertainment that you cannot miss before the third season comes out.
The social satire from which The White Lotus originates mixes with drama and a bit of mystery to bring to HBO one of the best products of its recent years. Created by Mike White, the series has achieved all kinds of awards, including several Emmys, and is one of the most followed shows on the entire Max platform.

Each season of The White Lotus takes place in a luxury resort of the fictional chain of the same name, located in an exotic destination. But what begins as an ideal vacation for its guests soon turns into an exploration of power dynamics, internal conflicts, and dark secrets that emerge beneath the facade of perfection.
The first season is set in Hawaii, while the second takes place in Sicily. The third has been announced to occur in Thailand, which seems to be a formula that its creator will continue in the future. In both seasons, there is a mystery: a corpse appears at the beginning, and the rest of the season tries to uncover who it is and how this person ended up at the resort.
However, there is nothing sad or dramatic here. The series is a hilarious satire in every sense, where the egos of the protagonists are constantly tested while we witness the worst practices that the rich can carry out. In short, a delight for those earning a thousand dollars a month.
