Did they get the same composer back for season 2?.
ChangeUpstairs3352 t1_itq4yvo wrote
Yes. He's the Ramin Djawadi of The White Lotus.

Season one had such a good soundtrack, I really really wish they would release it on vinyl.

Has someone told you that this is a show where rich people just sit around enjoying themselves?
MiserableSnow t1_itq9uge wrote
It’s a dark comedy. It shows these group of people to provide commentary on their lifestyles.

Plus it contrasts their lifestyle to that of the hotel staff/locals.

Ramin Djawadi is one of the best composers around right now, dude’s been killing it for years.

After hearing this criticism I was surprised by how I was actually quite... okay with most of the characters? They acted pretty much like most of the rich folk I know. Like Shane was quite pathetic and unpleasant, but his >!complaint about not getting the room his mom paid extra for was valid and him killing Armand was in misplaced self-defense!<. Only one I actively disliked was Sydney Sweeney's character - and that was mostly because of that obnoxious voice she put on. In fact, I felt like compared to most of the "eat the rich" films/ TV these days "The White Lotus" was quite lenient to the 1%.

You just answered your own question as to why people on Reddit disliked the show and the characters. Reddit has a massive hate boner for the rich.
the_blessed_unrest t1_itqjtib wrote
Okay but just to clarify to everyone reading this thread, the guy that’s actually scoring this show is Cristobal Tapia de Veer
ironwolf1 t1_itqjyi7 wrote
Oh, okay. I haven’t watched White Lotus I was just taking the opportunity to heap some praise on Ramin Djawadi
AtsignAmpersat t1_itqknmp wrote
But are Sydney Sweeney and Alexandra Daddario going to be in it? No, no they will not.
Chataboutgames t1_itqlxcm wrote
They were fairly down to Earth characters. It's not like any of them were depicted as absolute monsters, just varying degrees of normal to asshole. But you combine that with money and some people just can't empathize.
The teenage girls were awful.
Chataboutgames t1_itqm0zu wrote
You should check it out. They're detached miniseries/anthology style so there's no need to go sequentially.
And yeah, Imperioli is absolutely the draw of this cast.

pp21 t1_itqog4p wrote
I will never understand people who can't enjoy shows because the characters are bad people. Like can you only enjoy something if there's people you can root for? Good versus evil type scenario? White Lotus is satire so of course most of the cast will be irredeemable people who you dislike -- that's the point. Like, I couldn't imagine not liking Succession because the Roy family is made up of the worst humans on earth.. that's what makes the show so good

I think the point of the guys comment was to point out the shallowness of using that as a reason not to like something
Bernard_Rimmer t1_itquddq wrote
But it isn't shallow at all, it's just a different way of engaging with the story.

My issue with Season 1 was both the acting and the look of it but I thought the character work was fine.

I hope its not too much...the first season was crazy already. Any further goes into the realm of unbelievability.

I enjoyed this show but after the entire season being a criticism on classism racism etc to have the season end with all white rich people win, everyone else gets fucked was quite the let down.

Eh, Jennifer Coolidge and Uncle Rico are reprising their roles. Dunno how much that will ultimately matter to s2’s plot but it’s something to keep in mind

Sweeney's character was def someone who would keep a copy of Infinite Jest on her bookshelf, but never actually read it.
Steve Zahn was the best though.
NoInvestment2079 t1_itrvlsn wrote
Can't wait for the discussion threads to be littered with people shouting "JESUS CHRIST CHRISTOFUH" or any other overplayed Sopranos quote whenever Imperoli is on screen. It's why I fucking hate the Sopranos sub. Just a bunch of jerkoffs going on and on with the same quotes and no real discussion.
Anyway, $4 a pound.

10/10 description of her character.
SirMontego t1_itryy9c wrote
No.
Season 1 composer was Cristobal Tapia de Veer.
Season 2, episode 1, composer is Kim Neundorf.
IMDB says:
>Series Music by
>
>Cristobal Tapia de Veer ... (6 episodes, 2021)
>
>Kim Neundorf ... (1 episode, 2022)
Also, listen to the Season 2 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Baflc_0XVfY That's not music by Cristobal Tapia de Veer. Notice the total lack of nature sounds.
Maybe the other season 2 episodes will have Cristobal Tapia de Veer music, but I doubt it.
Edit: don't trust IMDB, Cristobal Tapia de Veer's twitter says he is working on it. See below for the link.

>But while The White Lotus Season 2 is certainly gorgeous to look at, it falls a bit short once again as any sort of legitimate social commentary.
I don't think Mike White is going for social commentary, at least not directly. I saw it more as a comedic look at the characters and families. Some of the comedy and drama is heightened by the difference in class, etc. but I never felt that it was trying to preach some social message.
Kind of like criticizing Succession for not containing any legitimate social commentary - it's just not what they are primarily going for.

In my thoughts I use the technique of positive visualisation, why do I always feel the sopranos sub is undermined?

How about listening to what Jesse Armstrong actually has to say about this. They aren't trying to do social commentary. That doesn't mean it's not meticulously crafted.

I didn’t think I’d have any interest in White Lotus last year when I saw the trailer, but it became one of my favorite shows in recent memory. I’m hoping season two even partially lives up to that.
