Italian Dream

Even with an incredible setting and new cast I didn't resonate with this one that much either. Maybe it's the cast itself with way less star power than season one where it hasn't fully hooked me yet. What it does well is the cinematography and incredible setting. I think I love the Italian vibe over the Hawaiian vibe. But these characters haven't opened up for me yet. Tanya and Greg aren't as wholesome as season one, you can feel the tension. The young double couple isn't deplorable enough to get me hooked yet aren't wholesome enough for me to engage with them. Same with the Di Grasso family. Quite a flawed family but I don't know what to make of them yet. The episode is funny though. What The White Lotus does well through each season is that dry humor that makes me laugh consistently. I've heard this season is epic and this episode isn't mediocre enough to make me tune out. 3/5 stars.
