好消息！期待已久的
《白莲花度假村》 第三季
（The White Lotus Season 3）终于开播了！
虽然目前才播出了1集，但已经有两千多人在豆瓣上打出了
8.4
的高分。
第三季的故事背景设定在泰国，聚焦一群入住白莲花度假村的特权客人、酒店员工。此前宣传最大的噱头莫过于Lisa的加盟，她在剧中饰演酒店员工Mook。
不过好玩的是，剧播出之后，外国网友的关注点都在主题曲上，因为第三季换了新的主题曲，去掉了经典的“woo woo woos”，大家觉得很失望，“白莲花”失去了灵魂......

“The White Lotus” Season 3 kicked off on Feb. 16 — and on Tuesday, Max announced that 2.4 million viewers tuned in on premiere night, in a 57% increase from the Season 2 premiere. Its sophomore season attracted 1.5 million and 155% higher than Season 1, which drew 944K viewers on premiere night.
《白莲花度假村》第三季于 2 月 16 日开播，周二，网飞宣布首播之夜有 240 万观众收看，比第二季首播时增加了 57%。第二季首播吸引了 150 万观众，比第一季首播时的 94.4 万观众增加了 155%。
But one part of the Season 3 premiere wasn’t a success: Viewers were not impressed by the show updating its theme song.
但是第三季的首播有一点美中不足，那就是观众对该剧主题曲的变动并不满意。
“The new white lotus theme song is mike white’s first miss,” one fan proclaimed on X, formerly Twitter, referring to the show’s creator.
《白莲花度假村》的新主题曲是麦克·怀特犯下的第一个错误。”一位粉丝在X（前身为推特）上宣称，麦克·怀特是该剧的编剧兼导演。
Another fan said, “The only thing America can agree on right now is that the white lotus season 3 theme song is NOT it.”
另一位粉丝表示：“现在美国唯一能达成共识的就是，《白莲花度假村》第三季的主题曲真的不行。”
对此，该剧的编剧兼导演麦克·怀特也是火速出面回应。
“I think that for the show to feel fresh, it needs to either expand or shift or change,” he told HBO in an interview obtained by The Post.
他在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示：“我认为，为了让这部剧保持新鲜感，它需要做点改变。”
“The first season was a lot about privilege and a kind of upstairs/downstairs thing with the employees and the guests and the comedy of that. And then, when we were in Italy [for Season 2], the theme was more about sex and the dynamic between men and women and sexual relationships,” he went on. “This season is dealing with more religion and spirituality and God, so the show itself and the kind of stories that these characters are facing are a little bit more existential and tragic.”
“第一季主要围绕特权以及员工和客人之间那种‘楼上楼下’的阶级关系展开，并以此制造喜剧效果。而第二季在意大利拍摄，主题则更多地聚焦于性、男女之间的互动以及性关系，”他继续说道。“这一季则将探讨更多关于宗教、灵性和上帝的内容，因此，剧集本身以及角色们所面临的故事，都更具存在主义色彩，也更有悲剧性。”
和前几季一样，第三季也以一个预示着死亡的场景开篇。随后剧情回溯到一周前，描绘了富人们如何开始他们奢靡的假期，并逐步揭开最终酿成悲剧的来龙去脉。下面让英大给大家介绍一下本季的出场人物：
Natasha Rothwell returns in season three as Belinda, the
spa
manager from The White Lotus in Hawaii from season one.
娜塔莎·罗斯威尔将在第三季回归，饰演贝琳达，她在第一季中是夏威夷白莲花度假村的水疗中心经理。
Jason Isaacs plays Timothy Ratliff, a wealthy businessman vacationing with his wife Victoria, played by Parker Posey, and their three children played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola.
詹森·艾萨克饰演蒂莫西·拉特利夫，一位与妻子维多利亚（帕克·波西饰演）以及三个孩子（帕特里克·施瓦辛格、萨拉·凯瑟琳·霍克和萨姆·尼沃拉饰演）度假的富商。
Saxson (Schwarzenegger) is the eldest son who works for his father’s successful company, Piper (Hook) is the college senior and middle child who is a
religion
studies major, and Lochlan (Nivola) is the youngest, a high school senior.
萨克森（施瓦辛格饰）是长子，在父亲的公司上班；派珀（霍克饰）是大学高年级学生，排行老二，主修宗教研究；而洛赫兰（尼沃拉饰）是老三，是一名高中学生。
Carrie Coon as Laurie, Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn and Leslie Bibb as Kate play three long-time friends on a girls’ trip after not having seen each other for a while.
凯莉·库恩饰演劳丽，米歇尔·莫娜汉饰演杰克琳，莱斯利·比伯饰演凯特，她们三位是多年好友，在许久未见后结伴进行一次闺蜜旅行。
Walton Goggins as Rick Hatchett, a
rugged
man with a chip on his shoulder who is traveling with his free-spirited girlfriend Chelsea, played by Aimee Lou Wood.
沃尔顿·戈金斯饰演里克·哈切特，一个性格粗犷、脾气暴躁的男人，和他自由奔放的女友切尔西（艾米·卢·伍德饰）一起来旅行。
表面温情脉脉，实则暗流涌动。你以为你是来度假的，其实是来送命的。这就是《白莲花度假村》独特的悬疑味道。不过毕竟已经拍到第三季了，很容易让观众产生审美疲劳，比如BBC就这样评论道：
The White Lotus still has writer and director Mike White's fingerprints, and occasionally his iconoclasm and inventiveness. But this uneven iteration feels
flabby
and elongated, with far less
satiric
bite.
虽然《白莲花度假村》依然保持了麦克·怀特编剧和导演的风格，
偶尔也能看到他独特的创新和反叛精神。但这一季的质量却显得不那么均衡，剧情有些拖沓冗长，讽刺的力度也明显减弱。”
好消息是第四季已经确认筹备拍摄，喜欢悬疑剧的友友们可以追起来！
