Are you also addicted to the “White Lotus”? If not, it’s time for you to turn on the television screen nearest to your home, and join the satirical comedy drama that has already conquered Israel. Ilan Kaprov (“Walla”) talked to Iris Kol on 103FM and told the mechanism in it that works so well.
“The big riddle is who is going to die, we start from that and know it will happen, the idea is that every week we cook with what is happening and there are all kinds of theories, thoughts and hints,” he claimed. “It’s a bit heavy, I don’t feel like I could swallow four episodes in a row. It works very strongly on the uglier sides of humanity, the ones we less like to talk about or show, situations we less prefer to see on ourselves or on others. It’s part of a trend of the last years”.
Later, he added: “I don’t think we have the tools to deal with the social gaps that exist in the world, and the way that the entertainment industry has managed to find is to sneer at them or allow us to laugh at them, to feel good in front of the rich when they are shown in their empty sense. It is clear that everything here comes from huge corporations that make a profit money, but the success of the series is indeed from this experience that we have one moment where we feel a little superior in front of these powerful people.”

At the end of his words, Kaprov emphasized: “The series continues the same way in the second season as well, there is some kind of catalyst that begins to produce all the tension or moments that we are told to experience. ‘The White Lotus’ is both beautiful and wonderfully written, the ability of the series to bring people out of their disgust and still cause For us to love them or identify with them, it’s something amazing.”
