A week in paradise at the White Lotus resort in Taormina. That’s the theory. In practice, bodies end up dead on the beach at the end of the week. We follow Tanya again, who has married Greg, but their relationship is faltering, and even more than Tanya can imagine. She has taken with her Portia, a cute but lost young woman. A grandfather, father and son are also in the hotel. The father has come without his angry wife because he is a womanizer, and will show it again during these holidays. Two rich and young couples are also on holiday, putting their relationships under quite a lot of strain. Valentina, the hotel manager, tries very hard to hide her homosexuality, and finally, two young prostitutes succeed in hooking nearly every man in the resort. A little too much sex in this series where we get to see the bums of every actor, but really captivating, funny and dramatic at the same time. Season 3 ?
“- Now you’re a big shot, people must be slipping into your DM’s left and right ?
– No. What good would it do me if they were? I mean, I’m married.
– Dude, everyone cheats, E.
– No, they don’t.
– Come on !
– They do ?
– Yeah, Of course, they fucking do. It’s a crime of opportunity. Jesus ! If they can. So, how’s your sex life ?
– Um…
– Sound’s great.
– I don’t know. Uh… It’s hard, I guess when you know everything about each other, and you’ve seen each other on the toilet and, you know…
– There you go, man. See ? We’ve only got one life.
– But Harper and I are…
– Codependant ?
– No. I don’t lie to my wife.
– Really ? Oh, man. Fuck, I didn’t know that. That is so sweet ! …. But you’ve been brainwashed into thinking that, man. It’s very bourgeois. Dude, monogamy was an idea created by the elite to control the middle class. Meanwhile, all the priests were fucking the altar boys, and the aristocrats were fucking everything that moved. Same now as it ever was. And the most ambitious guys ? They were always the horniest. Like you and me, baby. And, of course, women are attracted to that. But then, if you don’t make their dream come true, they make you suffer. That’s why it’s safer to stick with whores.”
