Mike White, the creator of The White Lotus, recently addressed the criticism from viewers who felt that Season 3 was slow-paced and lacked a strong plot. Responding candidly on The White Lotus podcast, White expressed that the complaints about the show’s pacing and plotlessness seemed “weird” to him. He defended his approach, stating that he was focused on “world-building” and setting a specific tone. His response was blunt: “Bro, this is the vibe. I’m world-building. If you don’t want to go to bed with me, then get out of my bed.” He continued, saying, “Get the fk out of my bed. Don’t come home with me. Don’t get naked in my bed. Get the fk out of my bed. Obviously, something is going to happen.”
This season of The White Lotus has indeed had its share of unexpected twists and turns, keeping the audience on edge and sparking widespread online discussions. Despite the slow pacing for some, the season’s finale and potential Easter eggs have kept fans engaged and speculating. The star-studded cast, including Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins, and Lisa Manobal (Lalisa from BLACKPINK), among many others, has also received praise for their performances.
For those catching up or revisiting the series, all three seasons of The White Lotus are available on MAX.
