Two aficionados of HBO's hit mystery discuss every bloody detail of the Season 2 finale. Warning: major spoilers ahead!
Who’s dead? Who killed them? And how? Here are ‘White Lotus’ finale theories from the sleuths at the Times.Although last season also began with mention of a murder, it was much more of a social excavation, and satire. This season leaned hard into the larger whodunnit renaissance — “Knives Out” meets one of Agatha Christie’s beach resort novels. Pretty much from the word go, the audience was trying to figure out who killed whom with what and why.
Nor did I give a fig, or an olive, whether or not the Di Grassos found their long-lost relatives or, in the case of père and grand-père, their equally elusive consciences. I agree that that the season felt strangely over-stuffed and empty. White seemed to want his “Knives Out” and his seven episodes too. There were definitely bright spots — Coolidge rocking taffetta, Hollander dropping insinuating bon mots, Plaza aggressively eating toast and Fahy offering marital advice. But with all the ominous music and shots of those Moorish heads, White seemed determined to make us anxious for the reveal, i.e., the end, which is never a good thing for a character-led drama.
