Pierce Brosnan doing the worst Irish accent I’ve heard since he was in Evelyn.

And he’s Irish, FFS!

And he’s Irish, FFS!

Worst clown Irish accent I recall was Tom Cruise in Far and away. Couldn't bear to watch it. 5 mins was enough. But yeah Brosnan is shocking there. Who the hell talks like that.

Though you know, it’s very risky remaking that! Leslie Nielsen was so great in the role, Liam Neeson is on a hiding to nothing!

Well on Max “The White Lotus” just finished their 3rd season finale episode and it certainly was jam packed with action, though Im not sure that makes up for how slow moving some of the plot narratives this season unfolded.

Sorry but my recap assumes you’ve been watching the season so far…

Spoilers !!!!!!








Chelsea’s death was impactful as of course the most soulful & inward looking of the seasons characters had to die, right?

The whole season the frenemy “friends for life” trio of women were so entertaining, if not really given much to do. The whole “ I love her so much! But did you notice…” vibe in all their conversations was revealing, as was Carrie Coon’s epiphany that time more than anything bonds us to others.

The Ratliff family, so Southern entitled & uber wealthy, (seriously the kids are named Piper, Saxon & Lochlan) i guess will return back to the States stripped of their wealth and with a financial scandal over their heads. Though i can’t stop thinking the Patriarch (Timothy) has some secret off shore accounts. The speculated & nearly accomplished suicides/murders by Timothy of his clan was so drawn out, though as the Southern Matriarch Parker Posey deserves awards just for her line readings. Has anyone ever gotten more out of simply saying Lorazepam? LOL. None of them died. The Bhuddist leaning daughter Piper realizing she can’t live without her creature comforts and her mother approvingly so proud!

Belinda accepting the blood money by Greg to keep her mouth shut , and basically pulling the same stunt that devastated her in season one , when the Jennifer Cooley character pulled out of their spa business by Belinda now opting out of a joint venture with her Thai lover was an ironic twist. Money does change people.

Sam Rockwell is an amazing actor, his bizarre sexual journey monologue in episode 6 was so mesmerizing, and the actor Walton Goggin’s reactive shots were so funny.

Overall I’d say the season was flawed but still worth watching. However IMO you have to see the first 2 seasons.

I’m looking forward to seeing this show. The buzz about it is immense!

White Lotus is a good show. I just finished Season 2 which had a pretty strong season finale.

I liked Season 2 the best, by a lot, of the first 2. Haven't seen the 3rd. Some people seem to like it more than others. I'm not feeling inspired.

Same here. Season 2 was better than Season 1. It definitely ended better and everything happening with those 2 couples made it interesting for me, plus Tanya character is more funny in S02. Some really funny and memorable scenes od that yacht. The locations they chose on Sicily is hard to beat, close to perfection.
