It’s almost impossible to ignore season three of the White Lotus. Those sarongs! That tropical location! Those incestuous brothers! The show has been splashed all over the internet for weeks — we are all merely cogs in creator Mike White’s plan for cultural dominance. Above all, if you’ve not seen that monologue, a masterful piece of acting by Sam Rockwell, where have you been?
Each episode — 7 of 8 so far — brings endless shots of the Four Seasons hotel in Koh Samui, Thailand. White, the show’s creator, makes a point of filming every series at one of the luxury brand’s resorts (speculation is rife about which one he’ll pick for the upcoming fourth season), much to the franchise’s benefit: stays there have spiked for each of the three locations featured so far.
