Rotten Tomatoes gave season one a brilliant 85% rating on their Tomatometer. Then came season two - which was awarded a rare 94% rating.
"Though its true intentions can get a bit murky, gorgeous vistas, twisty drama, and a pitch perfect cast make The White Lotus a compelling - if uncomfortable - viewing destination," the site concluded of season one.
Season 2 was similarly hailed: "Swapping its tropical trappings for Euro chic while focusing primarily on the corrosive influence of carnal desire, The White Lotus remains a cookie full of arsenic that goes down smooth."
