I have watched this TV Series and enjoyed it very much. It has received numerous awards.  Season 3 is on Episode 6 now and two more episodes is coming.  Season 4 has been renewed and now in the planning stage. So, in case you have not heard of this award-winning TV mini-series, here's a summary from Wikipedia. The most talk subject in the series - https://time.com/7269550/the-white-lotus-incest-lochlan-saxon/

The White Lotus, through its fearless exploration of human relationships, continues to push the envelope of television drama. It invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of desire, memory, and identity, all while keeping them on the edge of their seats. As the series unfolds, one can only anticipate the further revelations and twists that will keep audiences captivated and eager for more.
In exploring these themes, it becomes apparent that The White Lotus is not just a show about the opulent lives of its characters; it is a mirror reflecting the complexities and contradictions of human nature. Each episode peels back the layers of its characters, revealing the flawed, vulnerable, and ultimately relatable facets of their personalities. The narrative compels viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and the world around them, challenging preconceived notions and societal taboos.

The White Lotus is an American dark comedy drama anthology television series created by Mike White for HBO that premiered on July 11, 2021.

The series has been renewed for a fourth season.

The series has been acclaimed by critics for its writing, acting, humor, and production values and has received several accolades: it has won fifteen Primetime Emmy Awards – including for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series – and two Golden Globes, including for Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television FilmJennifer Coolidge won several awards for her performance in the first two seasons, including two Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe, while White won two Emmys for his writing and directing.

Meanwhile,  here are the real luxuries in life! 


Lastly, Did you know that.....

During the 1700s, the Visayas became a hotspot for human trafficking. Spanish colonizers and Moro raiders captured Visayan natives and sold them in Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia), where they were forced into slavery.
These enslaved Filipinos were absorbed into Indonesian society, and some may have unknowingly started new bloodlines. Today, there could be Indonesians with Visayan ancestry without even realizing it!

The Visayas (/vəˈsəz/ və-SY-əz), or the Visayan Islands(VisayanKabisay-anCebuano pronunciation: [kabiˈsajʔan]FilipinoKabisayaan [kɐbɪsɐˈjaʔan]), are one of the three principal geographical divisions of the Philippines, along with Luzon and Mindanao. Located in the central part of the archipelago, it consists of several islands, primarily surrounding the Visayan Sea, although the Visayas are also considered the northeast extremity of the entire Sulu Sea. Its inhabitants are predominantly the Visayan peoples.

The major islands of the Visayas are PanayNegrosCebuBoholLeyte and Samar. The region may also include the provinces of PalawanRomblon, and Masbate, whose populations identify as Visayan and whose languages are more closely related to other Visayan languages than to the major languages of Luzon.
