So, here we are. Once more, the doors to the White Lotus hotel have swung open; guests are being admitted and one of them is in store for a potentially fatal end to their holiday, if the pre-credits sequence is anything to go by.
Banish all thoughts of heart attacks and yacht disasters. This time, there’s been a shooting, and as a body drifts into view (though of course, we have no idea who it is yet – that would spoil the fun) the credits roll jauntily. So far, so White Lotus: for what satire about the mega rich is complete without a death or two, even if the hotel where they all happen is surely set to go out of business in a few years.
