I finished up with season 3 of the White Lotus. Some comments below but overall I thought it was another strong season....probably my favourite one so far.
But first, to address some of the feedback I read while the show was still airing.
- Introduction song
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of this version of it. But not everyone needs to like everything.
- Story progression
I can see how people say this season was slow, especially if you watched it as it aired. For all the seasons of White Lotus I started after all episodes were released so I could watch them all in quick succession. But I can see how some episodes, in order to set up characters and plot, seemed to be really slow.
Now the impressions
- I felt like this season the culture and location truly were characters compared to last season. Last season a lot of the story happened mostly outside of the resort. This season there were some things that happened outside of the resort but it just felt the resort was more front and centre.
- Acting, once again, was incredible. Some of the short-term roles (I think cameos?) were absolutely fantastic.
- The story, once again, takes time to develop as it weaves through the different narratives but it all comes together in the end.
- I enjoyed the continuity they keep with some returning characters or references to previous seasons

Again, it was an enjoyable ride to another location for the White Lotus. Looking forward to the next one!
