'The White Lotus' Is A Stale Entry In The 'Shows About Rich White People Problems' Genre

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING “You have to treat these people like sensitive children,” Armond advises Lani on her first day of work at the White Lotus, a resort in Hawaii and the titular setting of HBO’s newest Sunday night limited series. “The White Lotus” quickly establishes itself as a show in the “can you believe these rich white people and their petty problems?” genre. But three episodes into the six-episode limited series, the show’s treatment of “rich white people problems” feels stale and lukewarm. However, “The White Lotus” isn’t all that lacerating or distinctive when considering the volume of TV shows that have satirized or gazed critically at these kinds of characters, from “Arrested Development” to “Billions.” HBO has long been a home for some of the buzziest “rich white people problems” shows, like “Big Little Lies,” “The Undoing,” the new “Gossip Girl” reboot, and the best and most scathing of them all, “Succession,” which will finally return for its third season this fall.
