White Lotus: Five First Impressions from the S3 Trailer
We’ll be heading back to the White Lotus in less than two months. And the season 3 trailer, which dropped this week, offers a lot of hope that the show will continue it’s excellent run of uncomfortable dramedy.
The preview drew a couple of take aways from me. Let’s talk about five of those right now.
Lisa from Blackpink, looks like a scene stealer: Seriously, she looks fantastic. I’ve written before of how HBO owes the group after they let Jennie flail in “The Idol” (story HERE), one of the networks worst shows of the modern era. They’re off to a good start here. She’s got some serious energy.

Walter Goggin’s character is over it: Goggins is one of the best character actors working today. You might not recognize him here from “The Rightgeous Gemstones” (also on HBO) and “Fallout” but I’ve got high hopes for his worn down character that we see struggling in the trailer.
Belinda is back but hopefully the recurring character curse won’t be: Our sweet WL employee from season one is back in Thailand. But we know that our S2 return, Tanya, did not meet the fate we all expected. Belinda is a kinder soul. We’ll see what they do with her here.

Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, and Michelle Monaghan are all in top form: Coon is one of my favorites and on loan from another HBO hit in “The Gilded Age”. Posey has always been great and her character looking rattled is a good sign we’ll get another solid performance. And I’ve been crushing on Monaghan for years and especially since her “Bad Monkey” turn earlier this season. I hope all three of them fly.
We’ve got a gun: We’ll see if the show leads off with the guest deaths like it has in the first two campaigns. But we’re seeing firearms and characters under duress already. Not everyone is going to make it.
