In this kickoff to our series on The White Lotus Season 3, we dive headfirst into the tangled world of masculinity on vacation. From Saxon’s hypersexual posturing to the simmering tension between brothers, fathers, and friend-zoned security guards, we unpack how manhood is performed, distorted, and quietly unraveling at a luxury resort in Thailand. 

Is Patrick Schwarzenegger’s character cosplaying as an alpha? Why is everyone either flexing or imploding? And what does “power” even mean when everyone’s rich, hot, and hiding something? 

We’re not recapping. We’re dissecting the gender dynamics, status games, and inner lives of men pretending not to be insecure. Welcome to The White Lotus: Testosterone in Paradise.
