THE WHITE LOTUS

UNRAVELLING IN THE SUN

This HBO series about Americans falling apart on holiday is a glamorous, insightful and graphic drama that recently picked up ten Emmy awards. It’s also a bit of a murder mystery — one of the first things we learn is that it ends with a dead guest returning from Hawaii in a crate, but who? That question is at the back of our minds as we meet the tense guests and staff, none of whom is more tightly wound than manager Armond (Emmy winner Murray Bartlett, right). Catch up on this to prepare for the second series, due later this month, which shifts location to Sicily.
