Spring weather can still be depressing, with rains and winds reminding us that we are not entirely finished with winter. As an antidote, here are a few TV shows set in picturesque parts of the world, providing us with a virtual trip to warmer and more exotic places than home.
THE WHITE LOTUS (U.S., 3 seasons, 2021-)
The latest obsession of many TV viewers (4.4M viewers in the U.S. for Episode 7, to be exact), the third season of The White Lotus is currently premiering. The first season was set in Hawaii, the second in Sicily, and this one is providing the visual feast of a tropical island in Thailand. The plot in each season revolves around a different group of characters, but each of them is a kind of modern morality tale where the leitmotifs are unapologetic entitlement, immoral behavior, falsehoods in relationships, and intended and unintended consequences of actions. As the stories get unveiled, breathtaking architecture and luscious nature stand in direct contrast to the grime of human behavior. Each of the three seasons has spurred increased tourism in the regions the show explores.
