It is an uncomfortable, often sadistic satire, but it’s miraculous that by the end of 2022 we are left with a crumb of hope for the intelligent, hardworking people in the world. It’s the most fair and logical conclusion, but one that The White Lotus up to this point almost suggested was too good to be true. Throughout the season you keep thinking that things might not end well, that her job is too risky, that Albie’s “I can fix her” demeanour will ultimately turn violent as it so often does in situations onscreen and off where men and power become the two most threatening things in the world.īut it is, for Lucia and Mia – who after drugging the hotel singer and taking his spot to fulfil her dreams as a musician, gets the job as well as a regular hookup with manager Valentina – a happy ending. ![]() Local sex workers Lucia (Simona Tabasco) and Mia (Beatrice Grannò) ultimately win, with Lucia swindling rich boy Albie Di Grasso (Adam DiMarco) as well as his dad Dominic (Michael Imperioli) – they have both slept with her. But season two of the show is much stickier: sex becomes currency, where money reigned supreme last time, and causes all manner of complications for friends, families, marriages and, well, hospitality workers.
