White Lotus Episode 5

White Lotus
HBO Max
~45 minutes per episode


There are so many interesting things in the show "The White Lotus." I recently watched "The Lotus Eater," referring to a comment that one of the cast of characters made within the show. He sits around, watching all the rich people eat, and says, "I think of them as Lotus Eaters." It's a clever allusion to both the Greek myth as well as the fact that the name of the show is the "White Lotus."

It's hard to remember when you're on vacation, but as they say in the show, the reason that most people forget about the problems that happen to the staff is because you are made to forget. That's part of the gimmick. In reality, the problems that abound are a present force in everyone's lives, but you pay to forget it. 

I would highly recommend it.

4.8/5

Ted Lasso

I think that it's interesting to watch a show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Ted Lasso is a show that has both the mix of humor and other elements that capture a speed of life: not too fast, not too slow, just right. The main character does not have the interest of being someone who doesn't stay positive: his attitude towards life is just what we needed during the pandemic. His kindness is what truly sticks out: there aren't a lot of shows written about the "nice guy" or someone who is willing to speak up for the little guy. The second season isn't as good as the first, but we'll see how the season plays out. Both on the soccer field and regarding the team's dynamic. - Lakhshmi
