20 Best TV Shows Of 2021
5. The White Lotus
Perhaps 2021's biggest summer hit, The White Lotus takes place on an Hawaiian resort where a dozen rich vacationers come face-to-face with a slew of devastating secrets that shatter their idyllic getaway.
Darkly amusing and uncomfortably twisting, the drama is cynical, unpredictable, and perfectly pitched between its various tones and character action. If that wasn't enough, it also has one of the year's best casts, with Steve Zahn, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario and more all turning up to get in on the drama.
Something of a sleeper hit everyone was shocked to find was so good, The White Lotus scored so highly with audiences and critics that it went from being a miniseries to an anthology, recently renewed for a unprecedented - but well earned - second season.
Here's to hoping creator Mike White can recapture the show's magic in 2022.
