For the guests at Sicily’s The White Lotus resort, the honeymoon is already over
“Incompetence makes me homicidal,” announces Cameron over a continental breakfast. It’s a good line which sums up his douchey entitlement, and in the context of a murder-mystery, it’s a pretty inflammatory one, too. Cameron’s an unlikeable guy: too rich, too confident, too handsome for his own good. But he’s also just found out his luggage isn’t making it to the hotel anytime soon, which, depending on your recent experience with travelling, might make you feel for the guy.
Season 2’s second episode, ‘Italian Dream’, does a good job at showing just how quickly the sheen of luxury can fade. Those opulence suites have become a mess overnight, less five-star hotel, more teenage bedroom; quite literally in the case of Harper and Ethan . When she walks in on him jerking off – “what’s with the boner? – an argument leads to bathroom conversation about all the ways Daphne and Cameron are superficial .
The di Grasso family, meanwhile, go exploring to find out more about their Italian heritage, accompanied by McQuoid’s banished assistant Portia . The eldest di Grasso mostly puts his foot in his mouth and crosses boundaries which would be unacceptable to those of younger generations later.
Of all the characters to return, Tanya McQuoid always seemed like the least essential. Her storyline felt especially finished, and the character – damaged, selfish rich person – did not cry out for extra analysis. Her marriage to the brutish Greg replays similar beats, though indulging in her Sicilian fantasy does yield this episode’s funniest moment: a frantic courtyard moped ride.
Are we any closer to finding out who ends their trip as a corpse in Sicily’s crystalline waters ? No: each of these people seem capable of losing it under the right circumstances. If the second season mirrors the first, it will be about the journey, not the grand finale, which is enjoyable enough, though a shake-up in structure might make things a little more engaging. In the meantime, the shots of the Sicilian coast are a nice enough placeholder, but those might get old quickly too.
