Unpacking Season 2 Episode 1 with Jennifer Coolidge & Haley Lu Richardson | The White Lotus | HBO

[@gogolaygo1903]

Hahaha i love how jennifer is basically still in character during the interview

[@Proofs_please]

Because she is so funny. She basically play Jennifer Coolidge and people love it.. she is my next Bette Midler

[@kingVibe111]

It’s weird, in old interviews she’s different but she seems to always wear the persona now.

[@dafnenavarro7080]

Big time!

[@danielleblack8249]

I think she was playing herself in the show 😬

[@20000dino]

@@danielleblack8249 why the "😬" ? Casting an actor playing themselves can be done purposefully to fit the narrative - which was the case.

[@komegaj]

Jennifer Coolidge needs to be in any future seasons of this show, she makes it!!! Love this show and everyone is awesome ❤❤❤

[@Aimtofflan]

She is to White Lotus what Jessica Lange was to American Horror Story

[@gameralove6418]

she's the only reason I decide to watch the first season

[@phototristan]

Well, they would have to bring her back to life, b/c she dies in the final episode.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

I hated her character in season 1. I can tolerate her in season 2.

[@gameralove6418]

i really love her. she's so funny

[@sallyso8308]

Tanya is one of the most memorable characters . she is soo funny and outrageous!!! Had so many LOL moments watching Tanya.

[@rw80]

And so realistic. I think everyone knows a Tanya.

[@angelicdexter]

Jennifer Coolidge is simply a goddess, there's no other way around it

[@tomcruisemiddleteeth]

jennifer is so inherently funny. i love her. what a TREASURE.

[@murphyandmurphybrand]

Haley played that character perfectly. Great casting.

[@mrqs1549]

I’ll watch anything with Jennifer Coolidge. Anything.

[@jlind3891]

I loved Jennifer ever since more that’s 30 years ago. She’s that kind of actress whose movies/series you chose to see just because she’s in them. I’m surprised she didn’t get bigger roles sooner. Inside out a funny and intriguing personality and actress.

[@carljan57]

Haley Lu. Adorable actress.

[@Hylss]

Jennifer Coolidge has crept into my heart over the years and now I feel I'm just blessed to enjoy her work. Season 2 was such a ride.

[@yonathan8520]

Tanya is the star of the show, thanks to Jennifer!!

[@marycoyne1889]

On a rewatch it’s so astounding how much Portia’s character’s mirrors Tonya. The anxiety, the switch to falling head over heels and being taken in by a situation, and then the sudden wake up call to danger…the freezing in most of these situations

[@claudiam2474]

Netflix disney and especially apple can only dream of this standard of writing...just sublime

[@guysimchony309]

Each of those companies, obviously in addition to a lot of disposable content, employs some of the most talented creatives in their field and has produced some of this era’s most exemplary - and yes, brilliantly written - programming. Guess you haven’t watched Bojack Horseman, Maid, Andor, Atlanta, Severance or Pachinko then?

[@Surfwavesallday]

Yes HBO is a league ahead of the rest

[@claudiam2474]

@@guysimchony309 none of them will stay in the history as the sopranos, the wire, oz, the white lotus do.

[@Chibbykins]

@@claudiam2474 lol *lies*. HBO is the best in terms of putting out consistently great content. But to say those other platforms don't have at least one show that will "stay in the history" is wrong. Like, I don't even have Apple TV, I watched Severance illegally, because it's so amazing. Better than some HBO shows.

[@gloverelaxis]

​@@guysimchony309 I love Severance and enjoyed Andor & the first ~2 seasons of Bojack (before it became too insufferably on-the-nose and mawkish), but there's a distinct distance in terms of subtlety and craft in writing/characterisation between those shows and White Lotus. HBO does indeed have more heavy-handed shows like The Wire and GoT, but shows like White Lotus & Succession are a display of truly refined, nuanced dialogue and storytelling (and much richer, deeper comedy: Curb, Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal, How To with John Wilson). The owners of HBO are just as much parasites upon the backs of workers as the more obviously cynical Apple/Amazon/Disney owners, but they *do* have discerning taste for (and commitment to) serious art. Donald Glover makes my skin crawl so I'll never try Atlanta but thanks for the Pachinko recommendation. I also plan to watch Maid soon, half out of a desire for working-class stories, half out of an infatuation with Margaret Qualley

[@biancacaputo7174]

Jennifer is just something else- love her to bits

[@Missakiah]

Aubrey Plaza and Jennifer have similar humor but different delivery I feel. And I love it

[@marklola12]

Love Jennifer Coolidge, i hope she gains more shows or movies from what work she has done this year...where she is the main star

[@manp1039]

has she done a guest spot on SNL yet? I think they could do some really fun skits with her on SNL.

[@lauragrillo27]

Jennifer Coolidge is a master! Love her.

[@ShinRyojin]

Jennifer and Hayley can seriously pass for mother and daughter. They vibe together so well.

[@JohnSTF72]

Loved them both in Season 2. Amazing performances.

[@RoryTV1]

Jennifer Coolidge is very funny and entertaining a terrific actor and for me she made both seasons of this show twice as watchable , love her!

Jennifer Coolidge is a gift!

[@fredpittman1972]

I love Tanya (Coolidge) - you want to pity her … but I think her clueless poor me act is just that, an act. I think she behaves that way to manipulate. Maybe she’s really not a good person. So excited for this season.

[@bilguana11]

Jennifer isn't acting; she is Tanya.

[@Sunflowers_220]

Mike and Jennifer are friends and they went on a trip and she was so over the top during the trip he got the idea for white Lotus and Mike actually based Tanya on her. She stated that in an interview. However she did say he made Tanya even more weird and ofcourse unstable so its the core essence of Jennifer but very much embelished. So you are not wrong. She also didn't have to audition since he wrote that part for her and it is loosely based on her.

[@joansutton]

I just adore her.

[@lifelikethisandthat]

What an amazing show..two more episodes to go for me for Season 2:)

[@manp1039]

technically.. they never revealed it was her they found. they only implied it. And i heard in the last clip.. she is opening her eyes under water.. so maybe she just knocked herself out temporarilly and was able to escape.. and instead of going back to the hotel.. she took the boat somewhere else for safety?

[@RicoHarding]

@@manp1039 they show her body washing up on the shore, revealing That it is Tanya That has drowned. So she is dead

[@manp1039]

@@RicoHarding i disagree.. they imply it was tanya. they only showed the legs and hi.. and as for her bering underwater.. they also only imply a connection.. her being underwater with her eyes closed could be from something else or nothing at all.. they don't conclusively connect it to the body in the water.. such as them showing her face and saying who she is. they only refer to this person in the water as a "guest"" of the hotel. never do any of them say it was tanya.. If you have more specific connection in the scenes or dialogue of the actors .. please share that with me.

[@RicoHarding]

@@manp1039 But... in final episode, you see daphne reacting to a body, floating in the water. You see the body wearing the exact same dress, tanya was wearing, and you see her face aswell, while she floats besides daphne? The is in broad daylight, so tanya must have been in the water all night.. Can you watchmthe final episode again?

[@manp1039]

@@RicoHarding i didn't see her face floating at the same scene.. it was only implied that it was her that was found on the beach water. And someone said they saw tanya's eys open up in the under water clip. I would have to go be and rewatch to see if her eyes open up in that under water clip.
