TV series show: More trouble in paradise at 'The White Lotus'

Description

Dark clouds cast a shadow over the luxury resort once again as “The White Lotus” returns for a second season. TV critic Dheepthika Laurent tells us why the critically acclaimed series has set a high bar thanks to a stellar cast and stunning locations. We discuss “Shantaram”’s difficult transition from page to screen, following pandemic-related setbacks and formal challenges. The adaptation of the cult novel now stars Charlie Hunnam as the Australian prison escapee who finds himself on a spiritual quest in India. We also check out endearing French dramedy “Les Amateurs” and look ahead to Guillermo del Toro’s Halloween-inspired thriller series, “Cabinet of Curiosities”.
