The White Lotus

"The White Lotus" refers to a fictional luxury resort chain featured in the HBO television series of the same name, created by Mike White. The show explores the lives of guests and staff at the resort, delving into themes of privilege, morality, and interpersonal dynamics amidst the backdrop of a tropical paradise. The title symbolically represents both the beauty and the underlying darkness that can exist within seemingly idyllic settings.
