The White Lotus is a show I was curious about when I saw the trailers—a group of mostly white rich people heading to a Hawai’ian resort. It is the kind of pandemic watching that feeds discourse on every level, and four episodes into a six-episode season, I have not been disappointed.
Our “guests” are made up of three groups:
The Mossbacher family is made up of Nicole (Connie Britton), Mark (Steve Zahn), Quinn (Fred Hechinger), Olivia (Sydney Sweeney), and Paula (Brittany O’Grady). Nicole is the CFO of a search engine, who is married to Mark, who arrives on the island with a lingering potential health crisis. Their son is Quinn, an awkward teen attached to his phone, and their daughter Olivia is a sophomore in college who brings her friend from school, Paula, on the trip.
