Each episode of this D-grade 'White Lotus' opens on an exuberant flash mob-style wedding dance featuring all the stars - Nicole Kidman, Liev Schrieber, and a gaggle of botoxed others - wiggling their hips and waving their arms and laughing for about twenty seconds or so as the brief opening credits roll, and that's honestly it for the energy which depletes to zero immediately as the episodes start, leaving audiences to groan through a six-episode mystery of leaden acting, dialled-in performances, cookie-cut characters with zero personality or weight, extraneous others who need not feature at all, plus glib attempts at writing that toys with but won't tackle big White Lotus themes...and it doesn't help that the plot is so often simply hard to believe, and the pacing glacial.
