A season full of lost opportunities

On paper, this is the best season so far for “The White Lotus”.
Max drama continues to accumulate for viewers, with the penultimate episode Best 4.2 million viewers series. This is at the top of the huge social media arrival for the third season.
Fans can not stop talking about the “Kassar Al -Qaryah” episode, that Maga Mome and Goster Sam Sam Sam RockWell’s Episode 5 Monologue.
We haven’t seen the Oscar winner like this before (… this may be for the better).
There is still one annoying problem. The new episodes are far from the wonderful previous seasons.
It is not soon.
Some spoilers the story in front of us
The third season, which wraps on April 6, follows another group of wealthy, entitled Souls Faculting in Paradise. This time, “Paradise” means the wonderful bush in Thailand.
Even the harshest critics in the show should admit that the series looks great.
Most new characters can be eliminated on the surface. Take Patriarch Jason Ishaq, who is a girl who learns that he would go to prison because of his wrongful actions.
It is difficult to feel sorry for him because he keeps news from his family and glows in every scene. It also supplies medications from his ignorant wife (The Great Parker Posey) to numb his pain.
Their older son Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) had seven episodes to show a flash from the soul, yet we are still waiting for something, anything similar to him. Other children who grow up either are entitled (Sarah Catherine Hook) or only, well, cute (Sam Nifola).
The least he said about the windows of the winding southern family, that was better.
Three friends of 40 friends (Michel Monagan and Carrie Con Lezli Pep) have proven annoying from the jump. Their selfish actions made them less likely over time.
There is something more than the group, including Rick (Walton Googins) as a sad bag that attracts the sweetl Lou Lou Wood.
Does it matter?
The new season lacks purpose and perspective. Yes, we are supposed to taste how elites cannot enjoy their privilege, but the best episodes have shared some sympathy for the concerned figures.
this time? Not much.
We left with the thorny pictorial music of the exhibition, an audio bed that requires something punch. “The White Lotus” looks like any view on TV.
This is not enough.
Episode 7 started last week to fill some blanks, but this amazing air did not fade. Even when the plot begins to ripen “The White Lotus” you feel heavy and defeated.
Some scenes fall under the talents of the writer/director Mike White. Take Rick’s meeting with the man who changed the course of his life. We were waiting for this moment, however the setting is very badly written, it takes the sting.
Rocwell’s character is pretending to be a major film director as part of Rick’s scheme to get his enemy alone, but he or Rick did not prepare for the clear questions that go to their path.
Rick is many things, but stupid is not one of them.
Many scenes last longer than necessary, which makes us wait a deep thing, or just a dark comic. We come my empty and repeated.
Finally, we see some tension between Friend Trio, but even these late developments have not been intelligently presented.
aging. Demotted. Jealousy. a race. to fail. fatherhood.
We can think about dozens of ways to take this part of the series. White and its partners. They are satisfied with making them flirt and deliver without much insight.
Another Tayme Thapthimthong security guard and his efforts to attract a co -worker. It is the most famous part of the third season.
Let’s reconsider the moment of “kinship”. Writing was not sufficiently sharp to explain the scene between Sixon and Lukelan the young (Nivula). Nothing added to the offer to save the moment of social media “Gotcha”.
“White Lotus”, so far, was better than that.
We were told that there is a great return coming, but we have lost confidence in what the “white lotus” might be monsterated.
“The White Lotus” is the value of “not only for shock.”
“Mike is great, and I think this big story is not only for shock. There is a specific reason for narrative novel, and the biggest objective idea that Mike tries to reach. As a season … pic.twitter.com/eeu1lomgkb

White deserves to be credited with the recognition of Trump voters. It is not surprising that we see it given in previous installments. The first two seasons showed that he was not killed due to waking restrictions. In fact, gradual collective thinking often provides before dismantling.
There is a little this time.
Now, all that remains is the knowledge of who died in the opening moments of the show. “The White Lotus” is always a dead body and works back.
It is an amazing hypothesis and climb from the jump. This season? The revelation may be received by ignoring.
“The White Lotus” at 9 pm Eastern time on HBO and Max, broadcasting site.
