The White Lotus is a bit of an oddity.

Rather than releasing each series in its entirety in one go, HBO has chosen to drop an episode per week to draw out the drama.

What is this, 2015? We want to binge like adults.

Season two is currently five episodes deep and I know nothing about it because I’m waiting for the entire series to be released before I find out more.

Unfortunately, I am now required to write about a certain character so while I spoil the fun for myself, consider yourself warned.

After this trailer, spoilers will be revealed:

Siren sound – spoilers, spoilers!

Mashable has the deets on the worst character, “Cameron, the smarmy American bro played by British beefcake Theo James”:

Cameron’s moral crimes on the show are legion, as well as sun-blisteringly obvious… But Cameron’s greatest crime is this: He is lazily written and poorly acted, a cartoon sitting like a black hole at the center of an otherwise intriguing satire.

If he is one of the corpses, and there are an increasing number of reasons to think we’re heading for a “revenge of the wives” scenario, few viewers will mourn him the way they did Armand, the past-breaking-point hotel manager who dies in Season 1. There’s no third dimension here to mourn.

The character is a dud and James does very little to redeem him.

In fact, he’s accused of portraying Cameron “in as cartoonish a manner as possible”:

He slaps backs and drawls like a cowboy — a cringingly amateur approach to an American role from an English actor. You don’t believe he believes it…

James is the 21st century equivalent of a silent-movie villain twirling his mustache.

Cool, man.

I haven’t even the series because I was waiting and avoiding spoilers so I can’t add anything here.

The fifth episode was viewed by 2,3 million people on its first night, according to Warner Bros., which is more than any previous episode of the series.

There’s a big twist and some drama at the end:

We’ve said enough.

I’m also trying to save some enjoyment for when I watch it myself.

Well done if you picked up on the hidden messaging in the series’ opening credits – read more on that here.
