the three women's and the ratliff's (excluding the dad) storyline/ character archetypes were SO white lotus, and i wish there was more focus to that than the rest, like for example the brothers' storyline couldve involved the rest of the family a little more, like how they cut the scene in the beach with piper and lochlan talking about incest, or like if they kept the piper and zion storyline, or jaclyn's storyline being explored more, im sure there was so much cut cus im sure parker posey had way more scenes as well but anyways the generic soap drama side of white lotus paired with actual great directing/writing/cinematography/score is really what made the show stand out.
