Three seasons in, we knowThe White Lotushascertain parts of its formulathat it likes to repeat.
Like the title of the season premiere says: Same Spirits, New Forms.
THE LOCATION
Welcome to beautiful Thailand, where there are monkeys.
Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, and Carrie Coon are old friends on vacation.Fabio Lovino/HBO
Monkeys here, monkeys there, monkeys everywhere.
And lizards, and wild animals that have free run of the resort.
THE DEAD BODY
There always has to be at least one, doesnt there?
That will obviously have to wait for the end of the season.
I will make one semi-bold guess, though, and that is that the victim willnotbe Belinda.
Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) is a TV star whos paying for most of the trip.
Kate (Leslie Bibb) is married to a wealthy Texas businessman.
He does not like to talk about himself, or any other subject.
So did eldest son Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger).
They are a clan defined by their insularity, vibes that at times border on incestuous.
Saxon is the breakout character of this group in the early going.
Season Ones corpse worked at the hotel, while Season Twos was Tanya.
Which side will come out of this adventure on better footing?
