The White Lotus (2021)
Really good
It was a bit of a coincidence that I started watching this series. The title seemed a bit familiar and I've probably heard someone talk about it in some podcast or something.
It is an exciting series about a group of people who spend their holidays at a luxury hotel in Hawaii in season 1, and in Sicily, Italy in season 2. The series explores their lives, relationships and dark secrets. It is a clever and quite original mixture of drama, dark humor, satire and mystery. It's well written and the acting is really good. I liked season 1 really well (8.5/10), but season 2 was even better in my opinion.
I highly recommend this show although I don't think it suits everyone.

Disappointing show with flat jokes
I have not read the Sune books which this series is based on, and any similarities and differences with the books are not addressed in this review.
I was quite disappointed when I watched this show which has quite an impressive cast of actors. Liv Mjönes, Filip Berg and Norwegian Sven Nordin are just some of the well-known actors in this show where the problem for me is not the acting itself, but rather the script. I find the storylines and jokes flat and unoriginal while the characters are exaggerated. Not sure who the target audience is because I don't think it's mature enough for me as an adult, but also doesn't come across as a show for children.
