While Palm Royale might center around a country club instead of a resort, it brilliantly pulls off many of the same tropes as White Lotus, skewering the rich for how conniving and insufferable they are. The big difference is that Palm Royale injects a poor country girl into the mix (Kristen Wiig), who really sets all the drama into motion and hilariously exposes the rich for what they truly are.

What if White Lotus was told from the employees’ perspective instead of the rich guests? That’s kind of what Apple TV+’s Acapulco is like.
