The show started off really great introducing us to all the characters. Especially the struggles of the staff is portrayed well in this shown. Keeping up a happy face all the time.
The show starts with a murder mystery vibe, however, soon you start to learn that the slow build up of the escalating tension might is more going for dramatic effect. And I have to say that the plotting of the escalation spiraling out of control is done wonderfully, event until a point that I was planning on rating it higher than 7.
Unfortunately, the finale did not live up to the expectations. Without going too much in detail, the opening scene of the show is more of a hook used to keep audience stick to the story, than that it had any thematically purpose. For that reason the ending was a huge let down. Most of the character arcs were completed, great and satisfying except for a few.
I recommend watching it for the top cast, beautiful scenery and the build up of tension. However it is a bit of anticlimactic for a show that purposely builds up a tension. Furthermore you do not really connect with any of the characters on an emotional level, as you are watching from a distance unable to reach out or feel for them, like you are a member of The White Lotus, which might be intentional.
