A week in paradise at the White Lotus Resort in Thailand. That’s the idea, at least. In reality, the story ends with shootings and countless deaths. This season, we meet the Ratliffs: a wealthy businessman; his drug-addicted wife; and their three children, all of whom are obsessed with money. We also meet three friends who bicker with each other throughout their holiday, and Rick and his much younger girlfriend, Chelsea. Recurring characters include Greg, Tania’s late husband, and Belinda, the wellness manager. All of these characters are chasing something: money, love or revenge. Once again, this series is captivating; it’s impossible to know how the story will unfold or who will end up dead before the end. It’s funny, stressful and very dramatic all at once.
