The White Lotus (HBO)

Thought it deserves it's own thread.

Season 3 has cemented this as one of my favourite TV shows of all time, up there with The Wire and Rome for me.

S3E6, the bits with the two brothers were hilarious. Having lived as an expat in SE Asia for a few years, some of the stories and characters are pretty on the nose.

Just the best show around at the moment. Brilliant characters, brilliant writing, great performances, amazingly shot and presented. No gimmicks just good stories told well.

S3 was reaaaally slow to start off but it has improved for sure.

My favourite scene was in E5 when matey caught up with a long lost friend.

So many guys like that out in Asia, I know a few of em

It’s got a really unique feel to it and seems to capture modern society almost perfectly.

Enjoyed every season of this so far but s3 has been building up nicely to be my favourite. Walton Goggins plays a really good part.

Walton Goggins also looks a lot like @Will Gill

Didn't realise one of the guys is Arnold Schwarzenegger's son... Now I can't unsee it/him

Been holding off until all episodes are released before bingeing this….damn streaming services. I preferred S1 to S2 but it’s great overall.

Lol you don't see it? First thing I thought of when I saw him at the start of S03!

One of the best tv series going, the people who do the score and opening theme each season deserves all the awards they get.

Season 3 is a slow burn but have a feeling final two episodes are going to be bangers

Did not expect the brother's story to go the way it did in this weeks episode, wonder how that's going to pan out going towards the finale

Whenever I saw this advertised, I always thought it was some kind of Love Island show so I didn't get into it until the second season was out. I was waiting until all the episodes were out for season 3, but the first two seasons have been excellent, up there with some of my favourite shows. The soundtrack is great too!

Can't beat some brotherly love

Well, a great final episode. What I love about this show is that that story beats aren't all telegraphed for you, surprises up to the end. Mixing some feel-good narratives with the darker ones.

Looking forward to the next season. Hope that's the end of the Greg storyline and it moves onto some other threads....

Didnt even realise til yesterday that this is written by the guy who played Jack Blacks sidekick, Ned Schneebly, in School of Rock

 

[Hutchy]

I really enjoyed it. I think if you realise getting into it, that it's a slow, character building story, you are more likely to stick it out to the end where there is always the pay off!

Not only is he the writer for School of Rock, he writes every episode of White Lotus, which is almost unheard of in American TV productions as they usually have a writers room

Didn't mind the ending this week. Weakest of the three series for me but still enjoyed it.
