Biały Lotos

Season 1: White Lotus is an unorthodox series that is literally strange and different in every way, and yet (or maybe because of it) it's a hit series that has no rivals. The uniquely constructed story of a few people in a hotel gives all the characters room to shine and develop fabulously throughout, each one is simply their own and unique, perfectly written and their performances are very good (Alexandra Daddario clearly leads the way!!). The cinematography is spot on and has some haunting and daring shots in places (shitting in a suitcase, the boss's practices in his office…), which, along with the haunting music, contribute to the end result in a big way; and the script, which is very ordinary at its core yet an utterly bizarre mindfuck in the details, is so great and gripping that six episodes was not enough for me and I want more right now. The final episode took a slightly different path than I had hoped, but it still brought the series to a glorious conclusion and the result is so worth it. No reservations. Season 2: So simple, yet so f*cking amazing!!! The second season of White Lotus is the definition of the word perfection and is in the same spirit as the first. The characters are some of the most entertaining on screen, their development and acting is unrivalled and it's Oscar-worthy, and perhaps that goes straight to all the main characters, because acting like that and having the audience literally devour every episode is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. The build-up to the whole thing is creeping and cleverly navigated through the excellent interaction of the characters in the hotel, slowly but nerve-wrackingly building up to the finale, where everything cracks and it's (again!) incredible mental carnage. Add to that clever screenwriting, the disturbing ubiquitous music suggesting that "there's something in the air" and you've got a winner. Undoubtedly the show of the year, and Mike White has done it again. I could watch this every day. I WANT MORE! (02.01.2022)

The talent to create such exquisitely interesting characters that hook and entertain the viewer after just a few minutes is something that few people can do. If the series follows the same spirit as the first episode, it will be a winner. (05.01.2023)
