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.

On the surface,
The White Lotus is the exact type of show those of us in lockdown should be desperately avoiding. Set on a glorious five-star resort in Hawaii, HBO’s comedy-drama series, airing on Binge, is an ode to a pre-pandemic world (even though it was

On February 28, 2019, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) was swearing in witnesses before a House Judiciary Subcommittee.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) made a point of parliamentary inquiry: âI think we left out âso help me God.ââ
Cohen replied: âWe did.â
Johnson asked âCan we have the witnesses do it again for the record?â
Cohen responded: âNo,â then added: âIf they want to do it, but some of them donât want to do it, and I donât think itâs necessary, and I donât like to assert my will over other people.â
Johnson responded:
âWell it goes back to our founding history, itâs been part of our tradition for more than two centuries and I donât know that we should abandon it now.â
