description

The White Lotus is an anthology series created by Mike White for HBO, in which each season checks a fresh set of wealthy guests into a different outpost of the same luxury resort chain and watches their lives quietly come apart. A body turns up in the opening minutes of every season, and the episodes that follow work backward and forward at once, mining class, privilege, and self-deception for both savage comedy and genuine dread.

The first season, set in Hawaii, starred Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, and Steve Zahn, and became a cultural phenomenon on the strength of its sharp writing and Coolidge's career-redefining performance. Season two moved to Sicily and shifted its focus to sex, money, and infidelity, with Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, and F. Murray Abraham joining a returning Coolidge. Both seasons won the Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series.

Season three, released in February 2025, relocated to a wellness retreat on the Gulf of Thailand, trading the earlier seasons' hedonism for a meditation on faith, mortality, and the spiritual hunger of people who can buy anything except meaning. Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Carrie Coon, and Parker Posey anchor the ensemble, with Natasha Rothwell returning from season one. Filmed on location in Ko Samui, it confirmed The White Lotus as HBO's defining prestige series of the decade.

Last Man Standing

Remember Tim "the tool man" Taylor from Home Improvement? Well he's back, sort of. The character Allen plays in Last Man Standing is named Mike Baxter and is practically identical to Tim Taylor in many ways. To make him entirely different would most likely be impossible due to Tim Allen's strong personality and likeability. And while the Taylor character had a wife named Jill (Patricia Richardson) and three sons, Baxter has daughters and a wife (Nancy Travis). Family matters most as it should, especially in the sit-com environment. Mike Baxter also has a "manly" job. He works at an outdoorsy sporting goods store where men buy tents, guns, and fishing gear. Mike used to handle the store's catalog but they seem to be extinct ever since internet sales became so popular. Now his duty is in making promo videos that go up on their web site. Just as with Home Improvement the quality and appeal of Last Man Standing is in the sharp writing and the high quality of the actors involved. Mike Baxter knows far well he's outnumbered with females in his household so turns to his boss (HÃ©ctor Elizondo) and friends for some comic relief.

Nick Swardson's Pretend Time

Sketches are a comics best format for television and Nick Swardson has a show that's loaded with them. Each episode displays some sort of rank and raunchy humorous ingredients that will make 7th graders giggle and adults cover their heads. But along the way some of it is actually funny even if rather dark. Skits about cats in wheelchairs, snipers who masturbate, and incestual dreams involving the Nightmare on Elm Street movies are unusual fare for family television nights and when the show's main character sits and tells us about what we are about to see we begin to wonder what world this is. Nick's dead cat, Fitzgerald, is fair game for another episode as are a fatherly bucket list for a dying son, urine powered cars, and even a Gay Robot. Never one to be short on "off the wall" ideas, Nick Swardson's Pretend Time will give viewers a peek into a rather weird place, the mind of Swardson. Imagine, if you will, recovering a time capsule full of sex objects, or following Gay Robot as he buys airplane tickets to visit the alien probe site (area 51 come to mind?), or maybe learn how a forest ranger steps in to break up intimate moments between homosexuals. All this and more can be found on the Nick Swardson's Pretend Time show.

Perfect Couples

Three uniquely Perfect Couples make for delightful entertainment"¦ The humor in this sit-com is to be found in satire and often bizarre behavior on the part of six individuals who just happen to consider themselves perfect in a world filled with imperfections. If Amy and Vance are not fighting they are making love with little common ground in the middle. Leigh and her husband Rex see themselves as the perfect pair who are also experts when it comes to relationships. The pair that are closest to normal may be Julia and Dave and the others seem to be able to relate best to them. While we may each feel we know a great deal about some subjects, these three couples know they represent the perfect couple, and that may be their biggest flaw. Episodes include subject like food poisoning, dead opossums, and bickering among themselves that no one actually takes seriously. A talented cast with familiar faces will help make this comedy a hit and the excellent writing should keep it running for years. There is a chemistry between each character that shines and captures the audience.
