15 Things That Simply Don't Make Sense in 'The White Lotus' Season 3

The White Lotus has become one of today's most popular shows, and one might even call the first two seasons among the elite class of essential HBO programming. The (sort of) anthology series has grown in popularity upon its season three release, and it's been cleared for a fourth season. As exciting as that is, season three didn't exactly live up to the hype. It was two episodes longer than season one, but the storylines weren't nearly as captivating as many fans hoped. The absence of the beloved Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) isn't even the reason why, either, though she is missed. The show's creator, Mike White, made this season too much of a slow burn, and there isn't nearly as much playfulness in the writing as there was in season two (especially not in season one). The White Lotus was originally a satire at heart, but nowadays it feels more like a drama with the occasional satirical conversation.
