I genuinely think India, especially Jaipur and Udaipur, would be the PERFECT setting for a future season of The White Lotus.

Just imagine this:

• A massive U.S. destination wedding inside a royal palace hotel in Udaipur slowly collapsing over one week

• A dead body discovered floating near Lake Pichola on the very first episode

• Rich American tourists desperately trying to “find spirituality” while completely misunderstanding Indian culture

• Old royal families pretending everything is elegant and sophisticated while secretly drowning in debt, resentment, and family politics

• Giant candlelit palace dinners where everyone quietly hates each other behind fake smiles

• Palace staff silently observing the chaos of ultra rich guests, while jealousy, anger, and class tension slowly build underneath

• A monkey stealing a guest’s million dollar jewelry from a palace balcony and creating complete madness

• Wellness influencers treating Jaipur like an “aesthetic spiritual retreat” while their relationships fall apart

• Luxury hiding emotional breakdowns, affairs, betrayal, inheritance fights, and obsession with status

• A mysterious guest who nobody fully understands until the investigation begins after the murder

• Traditional music, lake views, palace corridors, rooftop dinners, royal processions, and this constant feeling that something terrible is about to happen

Honestly, India has EVERYTHING this show thrives on: beauty, wealth, spirituality, tension, tourism, class divide, family pressure, performance, and chaos.

Visually, this could easily become the most stunning season of the entire show.

So far I'd have: Gael Garcia Bernal, Roberta Colindrez (a bit of an unknown but was amazing in the show Vida and acted in some episodes of Girls), and Penelope Cruz.

So many people dislike Portia, but how can anyone blame a girl for not liking a self proclaimed “nice guy”. I found this line hilarious and telling. Following the motions with a guy like this can be soul destroying. It’s fantastic writing, because I think Adam DiMarco is fiiiine.

Albie is the free breakfast. He’s just there offering unproblematic romance, but somehow manages to be too many empty calories.

Before I start, yes Tanya is crazy and emotionally unstable and a horrible boss. But portia job is acting more like her grand daughter than anything else. She travels, probably makes great money. Tanya is easily distracted by others so she is free most of the time. So free in fact she was able to make 2 romantic connections within a week, go out even though it was interrupted all she had to do was comfort her. Tanya didn’t even ask her to find the psychic which shows all she’s actually wants from her is emotional support and companionship more than anything. She gets to stay and go to all these lavish places, countries, eat whatever she wants every single day which I’m guessing is paid for . Do all the activities Tanya does if she wants. Has her own room. I would personally make the most of it rather than being miserable constantly. It’s not like Tanya is giving her impossible tasks or she’s doing back breaking work. Yes it’s probably emotionally exhausting but most jobs are. All I know is I’ll rather be depressed in a mansion than be depressed in a cardboard box. She’s a glass half empty type of person and would probably be miserable in any job with that attitude

Edit:
I’m not saying I don’t appreciate the depth of her as a character, it makes it more interesting to watch. But if she was a real person I would dislike her negative outlook

It just makes so much sense to me. The more I think about it, the more I can see him shining.

Also fun cameos like I would love to see Alexa Chung for some reason.

LISTENNNN I know a lot of you are going to wanna comment that it’s from the trash or from a justice store😭😭 she gets so much flack for her style and while I agree this outfit is atrocious… I love this skirt and am aching to find it or something similar and have had no luck researching!! Anyone know where to look?
