Thought of the day

Did you catch the season 3 finale of The White Lotus? If not, beware—spoilers are ahead!
You might want to skip down to the meme section or return after watching the episode.
If you’re indifferent to The White Lotus altogether, heading straight to the memes might be your best bet, as this discussion likely won’t pique your interest.

I was a big fan of season 1—it was sharp, funny, and refreshingly original.
Season 2 kept me entertained and intrigued, though it leaned a bit more into drama.
However, season 3 didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
The tone shifted significantly, becoming darker and more tragic, with much less of the comic relief that made the earlier seasons so enjoyable. 

It felt heavy and even a bit depressing at times, leaving me missing the clever humor and biting satire that defined the show’s earlier installments.
I didn't like the revelation that Jim was Rick's father.

We needed more Frank.
I didn't like that Chelsea had to die because Rick had to get his vengeance.

The protein shake that Lochlan made in the morning felt a little forced, especially after Tim said the milk was bad, so at least rinse out the blender.
I wanted some closure on the Ratliffes. 
I know Tim goes to prison and they lose everything, but I wanted to see him get taken away in cuffs and watch the family fall apart because they were pretty awful.

Anyway, maybe I will feel differently after I have had some time to sit with it, but it was not my favorite finale, and I was a little disappointed.

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.
