‘White Lotus’ Creator Mike White Defends Season 3 After Viewers Call It Too Slow: ‘I’m Edging You! If You Don’t Want to Be Edged… Get the F— Out of My Bed’

  Edging me into the worst season of the 3 (and not because it was slow). Every character chickening out, but Gaitok, sucked and the thing Gaitok didn’t chicken out on sucked. They even sucked the air out of Belinda’s windfall by having her just ditch Pornchai. They didn’t even commit to accidental poisoning after my man couldn’t be bothered to rinse out the blender. Boo.

    !Belinda/Pornchai turning into Tanya/Belinda due to Tanya’s money corrupting everything was one of the themes I really liked!<

      At the end of the 7th episode I knew the last one was about to suck because there were no way to wrap up everything in one episode.

  White revealed one of the most “disappointing” parts of the finale that he had to cut out. It’s a scene where Piper loses her virginity to none other than Belinda’s son, Zion.

  Did these two characters even meet before the finale? Glad that was cut because it would have felt super rushed and not make a whole lot of sense.

    !i felt the Sritala’s husband mega reveal at the end of the episode was kinda corny anyway, as was the kid surviving the smoothie with no hospital visit or other ill effects, and none of the rich kids even getting a text about their dad being indicted? There was a lot of build up to a lot of hand waved consequences in this season. It kinda felt like a Marvel movie wrap up compared to the previous two seasons. Adding Zion x Piper would be even worse!<

      They didn’t have their phones. They were all in a bag with the resort staff.

  I think the season was ok, but the last episode was disappointing at best.
