In our Dream Emmy presentation for white lotus, we wrote, “Set in an upscale Hawaiian resort catering to the ultra-rich, Mike White’s delightful HBO comedy-drama delights in skewering the heinous level of guest privilege. But White didn’t just poke fun: he also dug deep, exposing the insecurities and anxieties of guests and staff and finding genuine insight into their little issues. The set was solid throughout, but Jennifer Coolidge absolutely stole the show with an instant classic performance as socialite Tanya McQuoid.
