White Lotus, SPF, Trader Joe’s
1. The White Lotus: I mostly decided to watch this show once I learned that showrunner & Survivor season 37 player Mike White had cast his David vs. Goliath tribemate Alec Merlino as a resort bartender in his HBO series. I really loved Mike and Alec as Survivor players (and that season was great). I haven’t watched the whole first season yet, as the sixth and final episode isn’t out. But I’m really enjoying it; the cast, the music, the mood, tone, and social commentary about white privilege are all top notch. I began watching this show on my own but liked it enough to start rewatching it with John. Good stuff!
