Funny how religious we get about TV shows. In White Lotus someone gets killed in the final episode and we spend the week before guessing and debating who it will be and why. White Lotus has been a harbinger of unexpected drama and keeps me waiting, wanting that climax. The other show, where I knew the ending already was the MY BRILLIANT FRIEND series. I read the books twice but watched the series to see the constant tension between Lenu and Lila and how that compelled the books forward. Seeing the characters on the screen helped me realize the art of those novels. Frequently movies made from books miss the point of the nove and are too grandiose or interested in happy endings.
