‘White Lotus’ Star Patrick Schwarzenegger Talks Saxon’s Awful Vacation, ‘Guy on Guy’ Incest Outrage and Mike White’s Original 2.5 Hour Finale
As Patrick Schwarzenegger checks out of "The White Lotus," the actor discuses Saxon's intense season of incest, rejection, judgment and shame.
Tired of his avoidance and hostility, his brother Lochlan ( Sam Nivola) confronts Saxon about their sexual encounter, who then reveals his desire to live in denial forever about the incident. Worst of all, perhaps, he ends up as the only family member who seems to understand the gravity of his father Timothy’s (Jason Isaac) financial crimes and how it will permanently change the trajectory of their lives. I was listening to a podcast last week, and someone suggested that the uproar over the incest in the show is rooted in the fact that it’s two men — as opposed to something like “Game of Thrones,” which had an incestuous brother and sister and didn’t take as much heat.
