(ESP-ENG) The White Lotus [Season 3] - Series Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Hawaii, Italy and now Thailand, those have been the locations where we have seen the diverse stories so particular of all the protagonists that have paraded through Mike White's creation. I think that along with Severance it is probably one of the best things that have been made for television in a while. The White Lotus has just finished its third season, one that I personally liked quite a lot but considering that it is slightly below the previous ones and as the plot progressed it may have felt that it was a little stagnant in its development. The magic, the atmosphere, the aura of the series is maintained but this time I did not fully connect with it.
For those who have never seen the series, it is about a chain of hotels distributed around the world where tourists arrive to spend their vacations. The thing is that each group of them is very particular and motley to the point that they can trigger the strangest actions and behaviors typical of any person. And yes, all these people are the mere reflection of society with its problems and concerns. As I said this time we are in Thailand where we will see a wealthy family that does not know how to live with anything other than luxury; a group of friends that living together will bring out the worst opinions they have among them and a couple whose man arrives in that country to resolve unfinished business from his past.
The premise of the series is that everyone has inner demons and how you deal with them is what will make the difference. Throughout the season we will see how the father of the family, Timothy, has problems at work, serious problems but he understands that he can not tell his family because this would bring them down, then see the struggle he has with himself is very overwhelming and see how he seeks to solve everything is even worse. The three friends have a very solid friendship but that does not take away that there are opinions and ways of thinking about the life of each of them, sometimes it may be a failure all that affection. And finally this couple where he can't move forward in life until he makes a necessary closure and she is everything he needs but is not able to see it.
The plot is the day to day life of each of them and how little by little their stories develop inside that hotel. It is a series about people and their behavior. This is a black comedy, a kind of satire where we see the reflection of what certain people in society are, privileged people because the common denominator here is that most of them are millionaires and we all know how they can behave. But Mike White joins very well this comedy with mystery and as you watch the episodes you feel that something is about to happen, something is going to explode, it is a sense of expectation that is very common in its three seasons.
When I say that this season is a little inferior to the rest is because for me the characters were not so iconic, the main feature is that there are always a few that stand out above the rest but in Thailand I did not see that, I noticed them all very linear and very “basic” within its complexity. Maybe I'll stick with the couple of Rick (Walton Goggins) and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) because the existential theme in which the two were involved was quite dense and their ending was quite poetic and ironic. The action was concentrated in the last half hour of the final chapter, that's when we saw the denouement of almost all the characters. Anyway, you don't get bored watching it, you feel that it doesn't move forward but it's very addictive anyway.
In general it is a very well acted series, great actors and performances, Carrie Coon is one of the favorites. The way it was filmed, the shots, framing, cinematography is a jewel; the soundtrack is very mythical of the series, I don't know how they make each opening to be incredible. It has already won an Emmy for a reason, The White Lotus is one of the best there is. It's in Max and consists of 8 episodes. I give the season a 7.5/10. Highly recommended to everyone. The trailer below.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people, that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡Hugs to all of you, see you next time!

Me sigue gustando mucho The White Lotus. Buena temporada. Sigue la misma estructura y al mismo tiempo tuvo algo algo diferente. He visto que algunos se quejaron del ritmo, pero a mi me encanto. El final, doloroso, me gustaban esos personajes.
La serie es espectacular, es como dices, mantiene la misma forma y trasfondo de que algo está a punto de pasar. Pero siento que este año los personajes no fueron tan trascendentes como en temporadas pasadas. Los únicos para mí, la pareja del final. Pero sin dudas sigue siendo de lo mejor que hay en series en la actualidad.
No he tenido la oportunidad de ver esta serie pero por lo que cuentas se ve muy buena. Muchas gracias por traernos esta pospuesta y felicitaciones para ti por tan buena reseña. Feliz día y muchas bendiciones
Es muy buena, de lo mejor que hay. Te la recomiendo bastante.
Gracias por la visita y leer, saludos!
