At an exclusive tropical resort full of affluent guests, the week of extravagance and relaxation gradually becomes darker and more complex in this Emmy-winning HBO black comedy created by Mike White (Enlightened).
Over the course of a week marked by disputes over room allocations, illicit drug use, theft and manipulation, The White Lotus follows a newlywed couple, a family holiday and a grieving woman, all VIP guests at a Hawaiian resort. Stars include Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Steve Kahn, Connie Britton and Sydney Sweeney.

This resort-set limited series – one of the best shows of 2021 and the one everyone's talking about – sees haves and have-nots hilariously clash over a murder mystery in paradise. Jennifer Coolidge is our queen.

Rolling Stone"White Lotus is delightfully mean-spirited and unexpectedly big-hearted in ways that will probably polarise some audiences."
Hollywood Reporter"The White Lotus leaps into a whole other gear when centering its two smartest performances... Bartlett and Coolidge are exceptional as they embrace every twisted knot of conflict inherent in their roles."
Variety"White spins “Have a nice vacation” into both a blessing and a curse, and The White Lotus thrives in between those extremes."
RogerEbert.com"Go in expecting a pleasing, intelligent, and well-paced romp, one that definitely won't make you miss overseas travel."
Boston Globe"As serene vacations take dark turns, the series hits a bit of turbulence, leading to a rocky conclusion that doesn’t quite live up to the show’s strong start."
Paste"Hilariously sardonic... one of the year’s best new shows."
The Globe and Mail"One thing holds it back: It’s a social satire that might have been better as a dark, absurdist comedy."
San Francisco Chronicle"The essence of The White Lotus emerges through carefully chosen dynamics fleshed out between masterfully built characters."
IndieWire"This is a sharp, soulful series that knows its characters in full and gets richer as it goes on. It’s vicious and a little sudsy and then, out of nowhere, sneakily uplifting."
The New York Times"2021’s best, and most uncomfortable, TV show."
The Guardian"The White Lotus is a destination event, a safe, controlled daytrip into disquiet."
Salon"Fitfully funny and diverting rather than compelling viewing."
