I think no one really understood what the white lotus was about in season 1 and now that they know it’s just a fun satire it has a much broader audience

whiteness. season 1 was about whiteness.

season 2 is about sex.

Mike White wrote the show so it’s literally White-ness

Yeah it's much better now that they're shed the pretension of social commentary (Knives Out did that much better).

What made it woke before, and not woke now?

It was a poorly crafted attempt at a satire of upper-middle class 'white' American culture, but ultimately ended up both cruel and simplistic, in the sense that what could have been an interesting perspective became muddled and trite.

Who knew this would be the next monster hit from HBO. First season was really good. Last night episode showed a lot of promise

Yup. Good episode that setup the characters quite well. Rico still a dick.

I didn't see a trailer or any ads for season 2, I was going to watch off the strength of season 1 alone, but when I saw her on the boat.....I was stoked.

>The Season 2 premiere of “The White Lotus” drew in 1.5 million viewers across HBO and HBO Max after premiering with one episode on Sunday, according to Warner Bros. Discovery. This number includes those who watched the episode during its airings on HBO’s cable channel, as well as streams on HBO Max through the night.

People watching house of dragons are realizing this show exists

I wonder how many viewers were habitually tuning in at the same time as House of the Dragon. I figured HBO is trying to make it a routine to switch on HBO at 9.

I bet once this season of White Lotus ends another show will be right there the week after.

Probably The Last of Us, hopefully with Succession S4 close behind.
