The White Lotus can leave you feeling uncomfy when the mood of a scene switches at any given moment, sometimes without a warning. The Season 1 conversation between Nicole (Connie Britton)and Rachel (Alexandria Daddario) begins untroubled about a fluff piece Rachel wrote about the former, before it nosedives with Nicole’s bitter reaction to it. Then there is everything that is going on with the Ratliff family in Season 3, from incest to murder-suicide fantasies. Before creating, directing, and writing the hit HBO show that is infamous for raising anxiety levels, Mark White wrote and starred in Chuck & Buck about two childhood friends who reconnect as very different adults, where one becomes a stalker and the other becomes their obsession.
