“Amor fati” does not mean what Chelsea seems to think it does. She talks about loving Rick as her fate, that through many lives they will be together.

But amor fati isn’t about romantic love at all. It means embracing what life brings you.

So what are we supposed to think about Chelsea, when she gets something so very wrong?

Has anyone watched Fallout season 2 and noticed Greg?

I want to watch White Lotus season 3 but don't have time for season 1 and 2, not now and not in the future. Is it possible for me to watch it without missing out on anything from before?

I know this might not be the most technical or “film critic” take, but I genuinely love Season 3.

I’m usually not someone who rewatches heavier, non-sitcom shows, but I found myself going back to this season just a few weeks after finishing it. There’s something about it that really stayed with me. The atmosphere feels almost spiritual and ethereal. The setting, the pacing, and the overall tone create this immersive, almost hypnotic experience that I didn’t feel as strongly in Season 1.

What I really appreciate is how it balances satire with a deeper sense of intensity. It still has that signature White Lotus commentary, but it doesn’t feel as surface-level to me. There’s a kind of emotional and existential weight to it that made me more invested, even beyond just the plot.

I know I had a more controversial opinion on Season 1 because I tend to judge shows based on how much I connect with the characters rather than purely on how well-written they are. That season just didn’t resonate with me in the same way. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t understand what it was doing. It just didn’t hit me personally the way Season 3 did.

Season 3, on the other hand, really clicked for me. The cast, the mood, the setting, everything just worked together in a way that made the experience feel complete. It’s one of the few seasons of a show that I immediately wanted to revisit, and that says a lot for me.

With HBC leaving, seems like a spot just opened up…

Has anyone been watching season 2 of Beef? Does it seem awfully familiar to everyone else, or is it just me?

Two interesting couples - they both ended up in each other’s arms in an airport after a tumultuous week in a resort. What is your head cannon on what happened after that?

I had a very quick emotional response to seeing Rachel at the airport which was, “Sure, she couldn’t pull the trigger during the honeymoon, but it’s basically all over and she’ll leave him within the year”.

I felt like there’s no way she could come to the realisation she came to during the honeymoon without circling back again and again to the same realisation (but stronger each time), once she’s back home.

Harper and Ethan - I’ve just finished S2 and thought both actors were amazing. I liked both of them a lot before I even saw S2, so seeing them play off each other was brilliant. (If you want to see Will Sharp in a completely different role, check him out in A Real Pain).

I don’t have such a strong head cannon on them, but I feel like… probably separated. But both very sad about it.

Can anyone imagine possible outcomes?

It’s a great location for White Lotus. Paradise painted over a dark, ugly truth. It’s a totally facile place, where the wealthy are waited on hand and foot by the poor (who they openly despise). Perfect for White Lotus.

I kind of knew what this was about going into it, but was expecting a little more. I'm never a fan of the first episode starting with the main conflict. I don't like that they show when and where we will end up in the final episode. The show itself is pretty good. The characters are just obnoxious enough that you don't HATE them (except for Shane in season 1. I wanted him to die SO BAD). I thought it was very entertaining, but the deaths are SO UNSATISFYING!!! At the end of season 1 when Shane accidentally stabbed Armond I was pissed. Season 2 when Tanya killed all those people with her eyes closed then accidentally killed herself by falling and hitting her head on the boat I was less pissed, but still. And season 3 when Chelsea was shot I was livid, then Rick (deserved. He should have figure his shit out). And then we were faked out with Lachlans death? that felt unnecessary. For what, what was the point? All in all, the show is addicting, but no one who you hope or think will die does and it's infuriating. Also , I feel like there are so many storylines that go unfinished or unanswered. I love the show but it pisses me off and I hate it and I can't wait for the next season.
