Sam Nivola, huh? Who knew the kid from Maestro would be the talk of the internet for something way more chaotic than conducting orchestras? The dude walked into The White Lotus Season 3 and said, “Let’s make things uncomfortably memorable!” And oh boy, did he deliver.

Forget the sunsets and mindfulness vibes of the fictional Thai resort, this season dove headfirst into taboo territory with a sibling storyline that had viewers collectively clutching their pearls (and checking their HBO subscription out of pure disbelief).
