Fans React to Incest Theme in White Lotus Season Finale

The third season of HBO's The White Lotus has sparked controversy among fans due to its ongoing incest storylines, particularly involving characters Saxon and Lochlan Ratliff, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola. The season features shocking scenes, including one where Lochlan is involved in a sexual act with Saxon, which has drawn widespread criticism from viewers. Despite the backlash, Patrick Schwarzenegger has described the experience of filming these challenging scenes as 'fun' and a valuable opportunity for growth as an actor, highlighting the close bond he developed with his co-stars. Nivola, however, shared that the filming was physically demanding, leading him to nearly faint during certain takes. The actors acknowledge that the show's creator, Mike White, intentionally pushes boundaries, which adds to the complexity of their performances. As the season approaches its finale, fans are eagerly awaiting how the storyline will resolve amidst the controversy.
