The White Lotus Season 3 Finale: Mike White gets bouquets and brickbats for divisive ending (Check Reactions)

The White Lotus, a satirical-comedy series has been one of the most successful properties for HBO Max. The finale of season three has just happened and fans have mixed reactions. We saw how Jim (Scott Glenn) was killed by Rick (Walton Goggins), and the sad demise of Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood). Most of the show was shot in the Four Seasons Hotel of Thailand. Lisa Manobal of Blackpink was also brought on board as Thidapol Sornsin, a health mentor to the guests at the resort. The series also dealt with how people sought peace from spirituality as the characters come in contact with Buddhist monks.

Some fans have felt the ending of The White Lotus was bland as compared to earlier seasons. It missed the cliffhanger quotient that made the former ones so successful. Others have praised Mike White for his brilliant characters and engaging story-telling. The White Lotus season 3 also dealt with themes like incest. The third season was also the most watched one in the history of the series on HBO Max. It got five million more viewers than second season. The seventh episode got maximum eyeballs where Jim and Rick confronted one another.
