So, clearly I’m on a bit of a Buddhist roll today, but that’s the message I took away from this season of White Lotus. Buddhism teaches that attachment is the source of suffering. And that suffering is on full delicious display throughout these six episodes. It’s hard to find a character who is not attached to their wealth, status, consumption or (destructive) relationships…even if they don’t know it.
But don’t settle for my take. Eliana Dockterman, Time Magazine’s culture and society correspondent has been mulling all this too and shares what she’s concluded with us. Then Dave offers a deep dive on some Scooby-Doo parallels.
Warning: a lot of spoilers in our discussion.
Hope this talk offers you a nice distraction from our reality.
Love to hear your take.
