Spoilers ahead for The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 6 “Denials”.

HBO is renowned for its critically acclaimed original series, and “The White Lotus” certainly lives up to this reputation. We’re right in the middle of Season 3 now, with fresh episodes premiering every Sunday on HBO, and for those who have a Max subscription, they can stream them. Despite all the recent buzz about the Ratliff brothers’ incestuous scene, actress Aimee Lou Wood is captivating me with her performance.

Instead of waiting for the majority to catch up on Season 3 of The White Lotus, dedicated fans like me are already diving deep into the analysis and conversation surrounding each frame. The ensemble cast of Season 3 features many familiar faces, but it is Wood’s performance that consistently steals the show for me in every episode. Whether she’s discussing Lochlan and Saxon’s kiss or pondering astrological signs, she effortlessly dominates every scene she appears in.

I was previously familiar with Aimee Lou Wood from her role in “Sex Education,” which can be streamed with a Netflix subscription. However, my admiration for her has grown significantly after watching her performance in “The White Lotus.” Although Chelsea appears to be a quirky and air-headed young woman on the surface, she displays a strong resolve when it comes to love, loyalty, and communication. With each episode, we see another layer of depth added to the character of Chelsea, while still finding her consistently funny and featuring some of the most entertaining reaction faces on this year’s TV lineup.

Among the relationships in Season 3 that I’m finding myself invested in is the one between Chelsea and Walton Goggins’ character, Rick. During their one-on-one scenes, Wood delivers a captivating performance, consistently playing the supportive partner while encouraging Rick to open up. Despite her concerns about his secret journey to Bangkok, she remains steadfast in her allegiance to him, even referring to him as her soul mate.

Absolutely, I can’t help but admire Aimee Lou Woodard’s performance as Chelsea. Her knack for comedy and impeccable timing never fails to amuse me, whether it’s her subtle jabs at Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Saxon or her playful digs at Rick. The episode where she discovers the threesome incident involving the Ratliff brothers and Chloe was particularly brilliant. Her mixture of shock and awe, followed by her iconic comeback, is destined to become a viral sensation.

God, I don’t think there’s a drug in the world that would make me get with my brother.

As a mere spectator amidst the complexities of the Ratliff brothers’ lives, Chelsea skillfully steps in at opportune moments, offering astute comments that seem to echo the sentiments of the viewers, reflecting their reactions to this sensitive scenario.

Indeed, Rick’s plans in Bangkok make me slightly anxious concerning Chelsea’s wellbeing. If his actions escalate to the point of causing harm, it might lead the duo into serious complications. Undeniably, I wouldn’t wish any harm upon the esteemed Chelsea.

Every Sunday, catch the latest installments of “The White Lotus” on both HBO and Max. With just one episode left, tensions are running high and it seems inevitable that there will be at least one fatality among the cast.
