The White Lotus (HBO) TV Show • Page 38

its a good season so far and i enjoy the slow burn / mystery aspect and wondering where everyone is going to end up. I'm sure I'll be wrong a good bit about certain characters and what they ultimately deserve.

The Trump stuff was weird as yea, I didn't think it'd go full in on actual real world modern politics and it'll be interesting to see where that goes and how its received. Sure it's already kicked a hornets nest in certain online spaces...

 

This episode was boring af outside of Belinda talking to Greg

 

perfect

 

Didn’t mind the Trump conversation at all, this show has always centered around issues of the moment and that was an extremely believable and relatable discussion; I was also taken aback for a second because of the bluntness but it wasn’t that surprising, and I vehemently disagree that it’ll make it feel dated.

That said, I did think this one was pretty boring although the Greg stuff genuinely scared me haha

 

definitely a slow burn, but there will be payoff. i wouldn't want to piss off leslie bibb, that's for sure.

 

Does The Simpsons feel dated to you

 

I haven’t seen the episode yet but this show has always satirized the current moment and has always centered around socio-politics. Sorry and too bad if peeps are expecting something escapist, but that’s not what this show is.

 

yeah

 

Definitely highly disagree with anyone calling this season boring. There's so much tension simmering, and so many half truths and partial backgrounds being revealed that I think it's been incredibly engrossing and I can't wait for some of the arcs to develop and pay off.

 

I think there are ways to talk about the moment without openly saying his name. Everyone would understand the subtext.

 

Really strongly disagree. We need more things calling him out by name, not less. Timelessness has very little to do with setting and more to do with themes. For example I don’t find Mr. Robot dated because they show Obama several times in news broadcasts, etc. It’s just the setting, the time and place. If anything, that show is more relevant now than it was then.
