These are the White Lotus complaints that provoked its show boss to push back

The White Lotus boss Mike White has revealed which season 3 complaints provoked him to push back.

In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter prior to the season three finale airing on Monday, April 7th, White shared some insights about audience responses he’s encountered during this current season.

White reports that viewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the speed of this season’s progression, claiming it lacks excitement due to a scarcity of events, labeling it as “leisurely” or “sedate.

“People are already like, ‘It’s too slow! Let’s go, let’s go! Nothing’s happening!'” White said.

White stated, “In fact, there were no events during the initial season. Essentially, it consisted of individuals gathering for meals, yet the background music built a sense of unease, implying that some unfortunate incident was imminent.

In another part of the conversation, White discussed another criticism the program has been encountering, stating that viewers anticipate it to adhere to a particular pattern or structure.

He mentioned that viewers seem to expect each season to focus on hotel staff being mistreated by wealthy patrons, he added.

Additionally, there’s the commentary that the series has started mirroring what it initially aimed to mock. Now, viewers expect “The White Lotus” to embody something distinct. However, I’m merely a humble scribe, grappling with the challenge of finding my way through each day.

During a recent interview, Sam Nivola, who plays Lochlan in the series, discussed the filming of the contentious incest scenes involving his on-screen sibling Saxon, portrayed by Patrick Schwarzenegger.

Nivola expressed: “Upon receiving my contract, it felt as if they were saying, ‘You need to be okay with sexually explicit scenes and more,’ to which I replied, ‘Of course, I’ve never done anything like that on camera before – a first for every new experience.’ However, I wasn’t anticipating such content!

The final episode of The White Lotus season 3 is set to broadcast this coming Sunday, April 6th, on HBO in the United States, and can also be streamed on Max. In the UK, it will become available on Monday, April 7th through Sky/NOW. On that same day, it will air on Sky Atlantic.
