.keeneTV on the depressingly familiar outcome of TheWhiteLotus finale, where (surprise!) the rich continue to triumph.
, Mike White’s six-episode HBO series, I left each episode wondering “why does this show exist?” Not in an esoteric way of “why is art?” but just what, exactly, is? HBO has billed it as a satire, but it’s not—it’s just a searingly true portrayal of wealthy white people and those they casually exploit. It’s not really a comedy or a drama either, it’s something both pleasantly and frustratingly experiential.
It’s like seeing one of the Mossbachers’ tedious conversations about race, ethics, and society being acted out, which is to say it is excruciating. But none of these outcomes were unexpected. The same was true in that final, terrible moment where we saw Tanya let Belinda down about them getting into business together, saying that it wasn’t healthy for her to be involved in another transactional relationship—with no thought to how that would affect Belinda, of course.
Not Rachel, perhaps; she ends things by not ending them. She has had her eyes opened to Shane’s controlling, manipulative nature and convinced herself to leave him, but then when tragedy strikes—not unlike the scare that brought the Mossbachers back together—she shows up for him and tethers herself again. Because it’s safe, because it’s easy. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it buys choices.
Armond’s tragic spiral was a helluva thing to watch over the course of the season, and Murray Bartlett gave one of the best performances in an already stellar cast. In a twisted way, he got his revenge on Shane—not just by defecating in his luggage, but by being accidentally killed by him in the suite Shane was so desperate for them to have. Maybe that was why he had a little smile there in the end; he got a kind of revenge on the entire hotel.
