The White Lotus: Arrivederci (2022)
Season 2, Episode 7
9/10
The biggest twist is Daphne is the smartest of them all
15 December 2022
The White Lotus Sicily as a hotel resort is spectacular to behold. After all, these luxurious accommodations and scenic vistas are what you get for a pretty price tag. The intention of any tourist coming here is obviously to fully enjoy such a place, and yet here the character Daphne is the only one who truly fulfills that intention. Initially presented as a vapid trophy wife, she evolves quite deeply as we get to peek through the layers of her nuances. Seemingly both carefree and in denial, deep down she is aware of her pain, embraces it, and makes the choice to take life by the balls despite of it. Daphne is by far one of the most unique characters to grace the TV screen. She is a modern-day female Stoic, a great example of the concept promoted predominantly so far by males in mainstream media, that is until now. Great job, Mike White for creating the character and outstanding performance, Meghann Fahy! Bravo!
