Great analysis. It’s amazing that we can dig this deep into the characters and everything is still consistent in their behavior considering these are fictional characters haha.

Isn't Daphne richer than Cam?

No I don't believe she stays with Cameron and puts up with his bullshit because of money. She stays with her husband because she genuinely loves him. She longs for him to be faithful and you could see it in her face on the beach how much pain Cam's and Harper's betrayal caused her. If she is staying with him just for the money I don't think hearing about his infidelity would have affected her that strongly cause this was nothing new to her. Though the betrayal was also coming from someone she confided in and thought was a friend it just made it tougher for her to deal with. She eluded that she has been in this situation before revealing she has no girlfriends. Likely due to Cam's cheating or him hitting on everyone she brefriended in the past. Also, the show never gave us the assumption that Daphne doesn't come from money or an affluent family herself. It would make more sense to me if she did. Because usually the more affluent, upper class, and richest people in society are the more detached from reality. Or at least better at detaching themselves from reality. In fact the show does elude that Cameron is either broke or is having financial problems. And Daphne is aware of this cause Cameron tells her that he only invited Ethan and Harper on the trip because Cam is in finance and needs Ethan's business to come back on top. Cameron couldn't even pay the prostitutes! Again eluding that he is broke. While In contrast Ethan and Harper are new money so they are perceived as the more grounded ones and not detached from reality yet. I don't blame Daphne for her behavior either even though it's messed up she has Cam believe their kid is his when it probably isn't. But as much as Cameron cheats on her I wouldn't be surprised that he doesn't have some illegitimate kids out there too. Her behavior even when leaving him for one night is definitely a game to keep him interested and remind him that she could easily leave him too. He missed her even more when she came back to him. Though she leaves for one night with a girlfriend to stay in a villa and he has a drug filled party with prostitutes while she is away. Toxic in every way but I think Daphne's actions were always her way of getting back at him and punishing him for his behavior not to be vile for no reason. I really hope they continue their story for Season 3! It's tough to watch but their characters are layered and interesting to watch.

Nailed it.

Dude exactly. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. I got really attached to that couple for some reason and felt sad when the season ended. The acting, writing and character development there is truly incredible. I can’t believe how good this show is.

Interesting because I thought the opposite. Ethan was not attracted to Harper and Harper seemed very pretentious. What Ethan wanted was everything Daphne represented, someone who was more secure in herself and warmer. I thought that was what their affair was about at the end. Harper and Ethan are left saying, “where does his leave us now”? Maybe they work it out and maybe they don’t. It was excellent writing.

@@Ljberkow I didn’t take it that way personally. But I will say Ethan confused me a lot as a character in general.

Yeah and her discomfort as she slowly starts to get creeped out by Jack’s behavior was really well done too!

haley lu richardson is a great actress!

True! I liked that about season 1 as well

@@cinemoni that’s not really true. Lucia literally mixes with all of the men on the show and the hotel manager does a bit too.

the character's stories overlap all the time in season 2 wtf

I think OP meant the main hotel guests having one on one or intimate scenes with each other. Like actual full on scene not just insignificant moments a la Aubrey plaza / Jennifer Coolidge Oreo cake scene

Hi there, new subscriber, u do a great job!! Where do u see season 3 goin?

I got the thought that she was disappointed cause she is used to women she is friendly with cheating with her husband. She was hoping that Harper wouldnt

i was so happy about that

Yessss she’s the star of the show! I hope we get to see her again

possibly the best thing about the show is Jennifer Coolidge will definitely be in more movies and series to come!

Yes it wont be the same without her shes the best !

I think her mission was accomplished as a character. Killing her was the best option to end her story at a high point.

The easiest would be to have a prequel season with Tonya and her mom going to a White Lotus resort (maybe a last trip for her mom if she's terminally ill, and the first season hinted at how complicated their relationship was). Would be a great opportunity for an older comedic actress to play off Tonya's character. Would have been a perfect role for someone like Betty White.

Yes i hope so! Although the photo he was looking at was another actress :(

Imagine telling on yourself like this.

i know right?! she totally surprised me by the end, never imagined she could be my fave from the 1st episode

I agree. I also don't think him simply looking at attractive women means he's just going to turn into his father and grandfather. Maybe the show was trying to say that with this scene, but I don't think so? I think maybe the point was to show that the impulses are still there, but that doesn't mean that he really can't be, and isn't, very different from them.

@@isaacmyers3979 I think that scene where they all turn around is showing the impulses are still there. And like you said, him looking doesn’t mean he is going to become this sexual predator. This season was about desire, and everyone handled it differently. I think Albie has definitely become more worldly have his trip, that’s for sure.

i really rooted for him and thought he isn't gonna turn out as being like his (grand)father. but I think he did anyway; not because he looked at that woman at the end (although I think it is a nod to a direction that he's heading up to) but because he was willing to "sacrifice" his mother; his, I believe, trusting relationship with her, so a relationship with a woman for his own gain

@@freakingeek8505 oooo that’s a good point. I totally forgot about the mother. But also, he sacrificed his mother to help a woman he thought was in like really mortal danger. And when he got scammed, he was chill about it. Like, if Cameron had been scammed, he would have hunted them down, called a PI, etc. But yea, the mother, I didn’t think of that.

@@lol-lb5pm Looking at a stranger is considered harassment. Always has been. Even for a second. That's just the world we live in. Everyone wants to be left alone

Check out Interview with the Vampire. You'd be singing a different tune

Literally same two shows. We have good taste in tv 👍

Maybe I missed something but how did Rachel become the trophy wife?

@@ThomasFoolery8 i think it’s because she just accepts it in the end. Saying ‘i’ll be happy’ to Shane

@@Yeetuspoket oh I must have missed that. When does she say that to him? At the airport when she hugs him? I mean after your husband just murders someone unintentionally on his honeymoon, I think it’s expected to put your petty issues to the side for a few weeks until things stabilize no? I didn’t take her consoling him as evidence that she was done with her ambitions to not just be a trophy wife, though tbh, she should give up. The show hints to us that she isn’t particularly talented so being a trophy wife is the best deal she’ll get out of life. The only reason she has a delusional sense of her talent is likely because of all of the men who have told her so in an effort to get in her pants.

@@ThomasFoolery8 I def get your point haha, like after the drama that happened (the accidental murder) she might have some kind of empathy or whatever. But i wouldn’t be surprised she decided to accept being with him and become that trophy wife. Especially after the conversation she had with Shane’s mother. But i understand yeah. If she wants to be with Shane., the real option she has is being his obedient little wife and be happy about it lol. Or at least, make it seem like it

@@ThomasFoolery8 and btw yes, she says that to him at the very end at the airport :)

It isn’t really “jealousy” that’s the issue. That’s victim blaming as if an emotion of the victim is the problem here. It’s “betrayal” that’s the issue. Both sides are supposedly in monogamous marriages so they aren’t supposed to be cheating, especially with close friends which will destroy friendships.

I saw it that way too. I got the feeling that Cameron and Daphne live in a state of mind where ignorance is bliss. They don't talk about their extramarital affairs with each other, so they can't fault each other for it. They don't make accusations of each other the way Harper & Ethan did. Harper & Ethan make each other feel insecure & jealous, they have major trust issues & the only reason they stopped bickering about it is when they both got even with each other. I think Harper felt better about herself when Ethan was distraught of what may/or may not have happened with Cameron. Then Ethan only let go of his jealousy when he got even with her by hooking up with Daphne. Neither couples have the ideal relationship.

hope you enjoy it!

She’s incredible

me too! i was so nervous for season 2 cause i loved s1 but it definitely surpassed it

thank you so much!

thank you!!

Thank you🥹❤️

omg i don't think i've heard of it (probably because i avoid horror stuff most of the time) but i will check it out nonetheless!

Thank you that makes me happy 🥺💗

@@cinemoni weeellllllll..... Do you like asian dramas ? AAaaand..... WHAT KIND OF DRAMA WOULD YOU LIKE ? in category 1: dark/sad/dramatic; Todome No Kiss (Japanese) ("The Kiss that Kills" transl.) (Go INTO THIS BLIND!!! DO NOT cheat! just trust me!) (japanese drama) also in this category "The Smile has left his eyes" (with actor Kim Moo Young) (korean drama, Category 2; Fantasy/Wuxia-but-also-drama "The Untamed" (sometimes called Mo Dao Zu Shi/Grand Master of Demonic Cultivation) (YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY GO INTO THIS ONE BLIND BECAUSE YOU WILL ENJOY IT SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THEN) (chinese drama). Category 3: For Something Fluffy/funny/romantic; Mr Queen (with actress Shin Hye Sun) (korean drama) For romance, in this case a BL; "Theory of love" (With the actors Off and Gun) (thai drama) (I chose this because the MC loves movies) Those are my recs! For now ! I have more!!!!

i really wanna know too! hopefully they'll appear in next season

yes!! i'm so glad their entitlement blew up on their faces, the fact that they didn't even bother learning the language was really telling and i loved that small detail cuz it really highlighted how (us)americans act overseas, and specially when they try to look for "their roots". however, on the grandpa's defense at least he was actually born in italy and lived there as a child, but still... he was too (us)american lol

They say that because United Statesian sounds crazy. To be fair, the USA pretty much owns the Americas much less the world, so they get away with it.

I feel like it depends because my sisters were born here but both of our parents are from Mexico . My sisters know Spanish , eat All of the Mexican dishes . They identify as Mexican and I see them as such . And I can also say myself I was born in Mexico and came to the us at 2 years old and I remember nothing of there . Does it mean I’m not Mexican bc I wasn’t raised over there . Am I American because I was raised here ?

@@mayrav.4256 yeah, at least that's how i see it (i'm born and raised in buenos aires). bc you know, countries have different education systems, different products available at markets, even different ways of stealing. idk, i just think that in your case you're american of mexican ancestry, you may speak spanish, your parents might cook you the mexican dishes, but that doesn't change the fact that you were raised in the usa, you learn different stuff at school, we don't have the same issues as a latinx person living in latinoamerica. i'm sure you face other challenges, but u know, the usa doesn't like come and fucks up your economy, you don't have puppet goverments, you even celebrate different holidays. i think the usa has a very limited way of thinking about identity, very tied to race, when in latinoamerica we have more of a historical-geographical, even economic and political identity, closely related to usa imperialism (ie operation condor). that's why we have such heated arguments on twitter about the whole "why doesn't argentina have black people" (an absolute lie btw). and as an actual argentinean (in my case) i find it very annoying when a person of argentinean ancestry comes and goes like "oh im argentinean too!" bc in order to be argentinean they should face the issues that we face as a third world country, we may share foods and im not going to shut my door at your face, but it's just not the same. the usa thinks they're the centre and unit of measure of the whole world and that's just not real.

So what should we call ourselves if not Americans?

no i havent!

I actually thought this too especially because at the beginning his dad (or grandpa, can’t remember) told him something along the lines of “albie, women are just as bad as men” or something. I agree Albie really wanted to be Lucia’s saviour. I didn’t go into it in the video but I agree with you for sure!

Right they’re seeing it from the woman’s perspective and we are seeing it from the man’s. They’re willing to overlook how Lucia stole $50k from him because she was a woman so no big deal, but god forbid a man use his evil eyeballs to move them in the direction of a scantily clad woman who clearly wants validation and attention for her beauty. That’s a sin we need to harp on for days.

I'm a woman and had no problems with Albie. I don't think he's turned into his father and grandfather by the end. He's matured from the experiences from this trip. He learned that not all women are perfect angels/"wounded birds" that need/want rescuing, and that HE also doesn't need to be a perfect hero/angel. He's learned to see women as just women. Not perfect. And sometimes, yes, your eye will gravitate towards someone just because you find them hot/attractive (women do it too). But I do not think he's going to start flirting with every woman he meets like his grandpa, or cheating on his gf/wife and setting up encounters with prostitutes like his dad when he gets home.

@@vbrown6445 I agree with this. I’m cautiously optimistic about how he and Portia will progress after their harsh life learning experiences. And yes, as a straight woman my eye gravitated towards Adam DiMarco in all his scenes 😂 I’m no Angel

severance was SOOOO GOOD

@@cinemoniyeah it was great. This past calendar year of tv has been insane. Now I spend 6 days a week looking forward to the new Last of Us episode and Succession and Mandalorian are starting up again soon. Good times.

😂🙌🏼

whoops I meant Yellowjackets

Thanks for the recommendations!💖

and Belinda got her dreams shattered 🥲

Did you get that slang from the wire? “Got got”

Same here! Was happy to see the working class locals come out on top this time

it's a hidde gem

I got it from a vendor at the melrose trading post in LA, it doesn’t have a tag though so idk how to find them online /:

agree

thank you!

you know what you’re absolutely right lol 😭

I watch a LOT of good tv, and I’m wondering whether I can rank it there as well. Before this, I ranked the first few seasons of GoT as my all time favorite.

Absolutely not

Let’s not get carried away 😂

Spoiler warning! No lo veas todavia si planeas ver la serie 🙊

@@cinemoni ok, ya igual con los dos primeros minutitos me la vendiste jeje.

i just watched it and I LOVED IT

yeah i never thought harper saw daphne as a friend but i did think daphne saw harper as a potential friend. maybe that's why it was so easy for harper to do ~things~ with daphne's husband, because she never cared for her at all

you’re so right 😅

Haha right. She was the most annoying character from season 1 too, so I didn’t get why she was the only person to show up in season 2. Glad she got got.

oh i havent watched it yet!

Honestly i liked the second season a lot more! I mean i thought the first was genius too, but this one’s a lot more suspenseful and the characters and their arcs are very interesting

It's really more of the same. The only improvement is the Harper character, but her story arc is as overly drawn out as all of the others.

honestly i didnt like the first season too much but i loved the second season!! id encourage you to check it out!!

Definitely need to

@@cinemoni and interview with the vampire bro!

No. Is Disney paying you to shill for that boring ass Star Wars show?

how is bg music insulting to the audience?

if you don’t think the show wrote that scene as a way to say that albie has changed (he used to denounce how his grandpa and dad view women but now they all act the same) then idk what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok boomer

that's the point!

The point of the show or of your video?

I can agree with some, but really Stranger Things Season 4? Its not better then The White Lotus. Obviously the production quality is higher within ST but overall the writing has become very sloppy, and much more shock factor while teasing the viewers with callbacks from season 1-3 without really building upon any of their previous arcs, and introducing characters who add absolutely nothing and detract from the main characters plotlines.

lmfao

@@earthjester stranger things season 4 is much much better than the black lotus

@@yessyynoica most of the shows listed are far better than the white lotus, low diff
