I won't argue that anyone should keep going with this show.  It is OK, but is repetitive with prior seasons

Isaacs' casting is distracting and takes away from the show.  They also didn't write the character correctly.  It should have been more like the lead in a Man in Full or even David Ogden Stiers character in Doc Hollywood.  Albert Finney in Big Fish (great actor who also couldn't pull off the accent, although Ewan McGregor did a better job in the flashback scenes) was written a lot better than Isaacs' character in White Lotus.  Even those characters are not what they should have been looking for with this character.  Southern patricians are just a little different, and I know this from having worked on a few projects with people like this over the years.  The accent is softer, and the sense of entitlement greater, among the multi-generational southern wealthy.  If a big theme of White Lotus is "eat the rich", then they need to get the rich characters right.  The Timothy Ratliff character was a big missed opportunity.

Edit: Just watched the final episode of Season 3.  It pissed me off.
