The White Lotus creator Mike White shares a colorful response to criticisms of season 3. The White Lotus season 3 finale cemented the third installment as the most popular for the HBO vacation-set dramedy so far, breaking viewership records and generating waves of discussion online. But with the added spotlight, there’s also been some criticism about the pacing and overall urgency of the Emmy-winning series.
During a conversation on the official White Lotus season 3 podcast, the series creator took a moment to address some of the commentary online that has called the recent episodes too slow and boring. White, who writes and directs every episode of the dramedy, offers a lengthy and blunt response. He argues that the main plots “obviously” go somewhere while also defending the overall experience of watching the show. Read the quote below:
“The pacing and the vibe… it definitely gets under their skin. There was complaining about how there’s no plot. That part I find weird. It never did. Part of me is just like 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. I’m edging you! Enjoy the edging. If you don’t want to be edged, then get out of my bed. Do you know what I mean? Don’t be a bossy bottom. Get the f–k out of my bed. Don’t come home with me. Don’t get naked in my bed. Get the fuck out of my bed. Obviously something is going to happen.”
