While you don’t need to see seasons 1 and 2 of “The White Lotus” to understand and enjoy the upcoming third season, each chapter of the anthology series is worth the watch. The three seasons’ plots are only loosely connected, but they each feature deliciously dark comedy, sharp social commentary, and a mysterious death.

Everyone loves a show that can take them to a place far, far away, and HBO's The White Lotus has done that for two seasons so far. Add a dash of mystery and intrigue paired with a cast of quirky and complicated characters and you have yourself a recipe for success.
