[Murray] Bartlett and [Jennifer] Coolidge emerge early as the show's MVPs though, both offering performances that cater to their theatrical inclinations whilst remaining centred in a tragic truth.July 09, 2021
Even when the most thinly drawn uppity guests are gnashed by White's satire, you'll savor every delectable shred of schadenfreude.July 09, 2021
Playing a character who is hard to like, let alone tolerate, Coolidge is outstanding, as she makes Tanya's stunted emotional life kind of sympathetic.July 11, 2021
[A]n excellent dark comedy with White's DNA all over it.July 09, 2021
With The White Lotus, White was able to add additional layers of depth that are at once satisfying and savory, funny and provocative.July 07, 2021
Alternately hilarious and unsettling, The White Lotus isn't a feel-good watch, but it is a must-watch.July 09, 2021
It's full of characters that one would never choose to spend time with, yet as a whole, the story presents a fascinating spectacle.July 09, 2021
The most reliable source for laughs - and heartache - stems from Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), the resort's spa manager, and Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge), a rich woman in distress over her mother's death.July 01, 2021
Aside from a subplot involving cultural reparations that doesn't entirely land, it would have been nice to see a bit more exposition about what point "The White Lotus" is ultimately trying to make.July 09, 2021
There's a finely tuned social choreography among the ensemble, so many scenes slowly, brilliantly playing out for maximum discomfort... each player on their absolute A-game.July 08, 2021
Go in expecting a pleasing, intelligent, and well-paced romp, one that definitely won't make you miss overseas travel.July 09, 2021
"The White Lotus" sneaks essential questions in between the laughs. It is certainly among the year's best TV offerings.
