Appointment television might seem like an antiquated concept of the past given the onslaught of streaming services enabling us to binge an entire series in one evening, but there are exceptions. In this case, the much anticipated season 2 of HBO’s The White Lotus had most people glued to their TV’s every Sunday night at 9pm for the last 7 weeks! Moving from Hawaii to another luxury resort in Sicily, Season 2 amps up the woes of wealthy Americans as they explore the seductive and curse-filled terrain of Taorima, Sicily. On this week’s PCP, Persephone is joined by return guest McKenzie Merriman and first time guest and musician Nick Seink as we delve into the themes of this season, how it connects or differs from Season 1, and how writer Mike White continues to challenge our expectations of prestige television.
