It’s less about “who did” and more about “whom it was done.” “The White Lotus” It presents the discovery of a body (or bodies) at the beginning of each season in a homonymous luxury resort, followed by time return a week earlier. The series slowly fills the pieces of what happened, how it happened and, most importantly, with whom.
While viewers are packing to board the next mysterious and dangerous excursion of the series created by Mike White – scheduled to start in Thailand on Sunday night – it can be useful to remember some old holiday memories (good, the bad and the good the embarrassing) of the previous two seasons in Hawaii and Sicily.
With the initial announcement that the beloved character of Natasha Rothwell, Belinda Lindsey of Season 1, is returning to this third round, all attention is focused on what will be her new story and how she can connect with death – very premature , unfortunate, but worthy of memes – by Tanya Mcquoid, played by Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge at the end of season 2.
A recapitulation: The connection between the two began in Hawaii in season 1, when the terribly rich, spoiled and alienated Tanya used the well-being services of Belinda, an employee of the White Lotus spa in Maui. Impressed by Belinda’s skills, Tanya began to wave with the possibility of helping her to launch her own independent spa business, an idea that bellinded initially resisted, thinking it’s too good to be true.
In the end, she was right, as at the end of the season, Tanya removes her offer from starting the business – saying something banal about not being able to maintain more “transactional relationships” in her life – and gives Belinda an envelope full of money. Belinda accepts in tears, with an expression of pain that demonstrates how much she should have predicted this.
White said one of the reasons for bringing Belinda back was due to the fact that viewers were so completely devastated by her outcome in Hawaii.
Advancing to Season 2, which presented a slow development premise that took Tanya – now married to Greg (Jon Gries), the older man who courted her in the first season – alone in a yacht with a group of gay she He believes they “are trying to kill her.”
As the tortuous plot develops under the Italian gold sun throughout season two, Tanya discovers that Greg – who suspiciously had to fly back to the United States in the middle of his Sicilian vacations – actually knows one of his new admirers, a man Charming and excessively compliments called Quentin (Tom Hollander), who entertains her with her friends, until everyone ends in that yacht.
Everything leads to an amazing scene portraying a telephone connection between Tanya and his assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) – who was discreetly kidnapped by, Hum, “nephew” of Quentin, Jack (Leo Woodall) – in which they deduce Greg might have Orchestrated a plan designed to kill Tanya and thus get its vast fortune.
If you read here, you certainly know how this ended, and at the beginning of season 3, the big questions are: Where is Greg now? What about Jack or any of the surviving gays? Did Portia be questioned by the police? And how much Belinda knows, or doesn’t know about what happened to her potential benefactor?
To find out, tune in to the debut of Season 3 of “The White Lotus” on Sunday at 11 pm (GMT) on the HBO cable TV channel or on the Max streaming platform.
