CRITICAL – Relocated to Sicily, Season 2 of this satire of the super-rich turns out to be even more corrosive than the previous one.


Nominated 20 times and crowned with five trophies at the last Emmy Awards, including Best Miniseries, Mike White's anthology for HBO,

The White Lotus

, continues its exploration of the psyche of big fortunes.

With a season 2 even more acidic than the first.

This one closely followed the very, very rich hours of the residents of a resort in Hawaii, their relationship to the world and to others, particularly the members of the hotel staff.

The new salvo, even less politically correct, located in the idyllic setting of a Sicilian palazzo, takes up the same structure and refines its painting of the small world of today's ultra-privileged.

Where the delirious whims of some compete with the humiliations of others.

Where political and sexual rivalries sweep aside any idea of ​​morality for the benefit of immediate pleasure alone.

Where paradise on earth very quickly takes on the appearance of an antechamber to hell, which the credits immediately attest to.
