The White Lotus dissects the ways men try (and fail) to understand the women around them
And at the crux of all of this warring of the sexes and the need to imagine codified ways of how men relate to women is, of course, desire. This is a hot and steamy episode that opens with a porn-fueled masturbation scene , includes a convincing line about a couple’s sex life , and ends in a sinful threeway—not to mention a presumably compromising overhead phone call.
How all of these unruly desires will unfurl in the next few episodes—and how they’ll likely unravel many of these characters’ lives—is no doubt what’ll keep us coming back week in and week out as we live out another week at t“This is such a beautiful view. I wonder if anyone’s ever jumped from here.” Are lines like these laying the threat of death and violence a tad too thick this time around? Perhaps, but Coolidge’s delivery can make any blunt piece of dialogue sing anyway.
We’re only on episode two, but I wish we were getting more from the hotel’s staff. Part of the joy of season one was watching Armond’s story unfold in parallel to that of his guests, and I’m missing that same kind of symmetry. But maybe I’m just being selfish: I want more of Sabrina Impacciatore, whose exasperation as Valentina when dealing with clueless Americans renting Vespas or asking for, ahem, “friends” to be added to rooms in the hotel is a delight to watch.
Even as this episode may not have worked wholly , you have to thank Mike White for gifting the entire Tanya/Vespa sequence. Just as in season one, perhaps,works best when understood as a vehicle for Jennifer Coolidge’s many talents—all of which are displayed not just in that hilarious sequence but in the dinner sequence that follows. In her hands, Tanya is both clueless and perceptive, wide-eyed and keen-eyed in equal measure; it’s a hat trick of a performance, really.
It may have been a throwaway moment in the episode but it was still welcome to hear a brief discussion about Puerto Rico paired with the usual vapid responses from the likes of Cameron and Daphne, who can expound for hours about Venice resorts but know oh so little about Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States.
