Vogue writer Raven Smith takes stock of WhiteLotus season 2 following the finale.
and it seems as good a time as any to pull up a lounger and take stock. Where the first season felt like a tart commentary on class, race, privilege, and excruciating multiples thereof, this fall’s excursion is fueled by toxic sex dynamics.
I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t fall for Sicily’s outing immediately: That difficult second album can feel like an echo of past greatness, and something in Episode 1 felt a little hollow, a little tinny—a littleI felt like storylines were trying too hard to intrigue me and I hated it. Laura Dern being majorly divorced on the phone felt random and over-inflated. The sex workers felt tacky in the wrong way. Portia was a whinge. Harper was stuck-up.
Before we’re all hungover at departures with our duty-free, let’s not forget the dead body on the beach in Episode 1. Someone is either traveling in the hold and deplaning in a casket, or getting buried on the mainland. Shall we peruse the suspects? I’ve never seen anyone as likely to soil another person’s luggage like Armond did in Season 1 as Valentina when her crush admitted she had a boyfriend . The thought of Valentina—arbiter of the season’s best,line, “Beppa Pig?”—waking up from her birthday night of lesbian de-flowering to find guests’ bodies washed up on her hotel’s private beach is a dastardly gift.
