Despite a new location and mostly new cast, the second season of HBO's 'The White Lotus' is missing some of its old magic

When it dropped into the middle of our second pandemic summer, HBO’s “The White Lotus” was just what the TV therapist ordered.

Here comes the boat filled with high-maintenance passengers. Here are the members of the already beleaguered staff, offering Champagne and harboring resentments. Welcome, entitled bros, may the fresh air recalibrate your moral compasses! Take a load off, all ye restless ladies! Shop now, revolt later! And try not to mind the crime that await you.There is a trouble family featuring a powerful dad with a monogamy problem , his randy father , and his sweetly fed-up son .

So everyone’s here, right? Well, no. Which brings us to the big hole where the show’s heart should be. Also missing in action are the class struggles that were at the center of the first season. Whether it was the simmering conflict between rich teen Olivia and her less-rich friend, Paula; the growing resentment newlywed Rachel feels for Shane, her entitled doof of a husband; or Tanya’s heartbreaking betrayal of Belinda, the soulful spa manager, the first “White Lotus” was about the toxic baggage money can buy. Even when you don’t have it.
