5) Acapulco
The young Maximo Ramos (Enrique Arrizon) believes that he’s going to become a rich hotel mogul when he’s hired to work at Acapulco's luxurious Las Colinas Resort... only to find that he’s been brought on as the new pool boy. Determined to move up in the hotel industry—and maybe flirt with the receptionist—Acapulco is full of wacky, The White Lotus-esque resort employee antics. (Just without any of the dangerous, sexually-charged murders.)—Josh Rosenberg

6) Succession
Succession. You know it, you love it, and if you have no idea what I’m talking about, how? This dark comedy is one of HBO’s best series. (Ever.) It follows the Roy family, who own a large media conglomerate, a la Fox Entertainment. When Logan Roy, the family patriarch, hints that he may retire, all of his children fight for ownership of the brand. Everyone has a shot, but relationships are tested, to say the least, while they claw their way to the top.—Bria McNeal

7) Dynasty
This reboot is yet another example of how wealth can corrupt... well, everything. Dynasty follows the Carringtons and Colbys, two of America’s richest families, who are constantly fighting each other for power. Their lives may seem fabulous, but underneath all the glitz and glam is a pattern of corruption that could ruin it all—B.M.

8) The Morning Show
OK, hear me out. The Morning Show may sound like a stretch, but like The White Lotus, it uses an ordinary setting to explore societal issues. In this series, Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon play two television hosts tasked with revamping their early-morning talk show. While trying to boost ratings, the duo uncovers a slew of problems within their workplace. We see office affairs, power struggles, horrible bosses, and of course, a whole lot of drama. Sound familiar?—B.M.

9) Severance
If you have an insatiable hunger for shows that are mysterious, suspenseful, and will have you looking up fan theories on Reddit, then you have to start binging Severance. Sure, a workplace drama—especially one that takes place in fluorescent-lit cubicles—might sound very far from the warm, beautiful shores of The White Lotus. But when it's pumped full of twists and turns like Severance, you’ll be too busy pressing the “watch next episode” button to care. Adam Scott plays an employee with a purposefully meaningless and confounding job at a biotech company called Lumon. He has undergone a process called severance, where your consciousness is split when you arrive at work—so that your personal life and memories are compartmentalized. Now why the hell would anyone put themself through this? Well, friend, that’ll just be one of the many questions you’ll be asking throughout the show.—Sirena He

10) Enlightened
If The White Lotus had you craving more wisecracks and wisdoms from the brain of its creator, Mike White, I highly recommend queuing up School of Rock. (Shoutout Ned Schneebly!) Did that? OK. Now, watch Enlightened—also created by White—which follows a woman who, after a nervous breakdown, undergoes wild recovery at a treatment center in Hawaii. Hilarity ensues upon her return.—Brady Langmann

11) The Young Pope
Enjoy hanging out in Italy during The White Lotus's seven-hour-long runtime? Well, I'd like to suggest that you extend your vacation north—from Sicily to Rome. The Young Pope follows Jude Law's baby-faced religious leader as he rises to the highest rank in the Catholic Church, offending nearly everyone he comes across.—B.L.

12) Schitt’s Creek
Genuinely, there isn't another skewering of the rich—other than The White Lotus, of course—that will genuinely make you laugh at every other line. Schitt’s Creek follows a fancy-pants family of four who are down on their luck, but could learn a thing (or five) from their new backwoods home.—B.L.
