After three completely unhinged seasons, The White Lotus has become the internet’s favourite madness on a vacation show. Set against beautiful and luxurious backgrounds, this twisted resort drama has it all: dead bodies, emotional breakdowns, honest realisations and innumerable passive-aggressive conversations. But now that the credits for the third season have rolled, the big question is, what should we watch next on Netflix?

With the wealth, the tension over breakfast buffets, and everybody hiding something, we have the perfect recommendation for you: Netflix’s Who Killed Sara? This Mexican thriller begins with a murder and then progresses on unravelling the mysteries.

The story is of a lady named Alex who is on a quest to solve her sister’s murder while her brother is wrongly imprisoned. Although the show starts with her being hell-bent on finding the murderer, she slowly discovers the messed-up secrets of the people associated with her. If you enjoyed the wealthy backdrops of The White Lotus, this show is for you.

Much like the Mike White production, this show does not have a straightforward narrative. Each episode peels the glossy facade of the Lazcano family, exposing a web of lies, betrayal and generational rot. The emotional messiness, the shifting perspectives and the questionable loyalties will help you create a love-hate bond with every character. One moment, you are sympathising with a grieving brother and the next, you watch him slip into obsession. The constant emotional, social and, at times, literal tension keeps the viewers on their toes throughout the show.

Another common factor between the two shows is their heavy reliance on performance. While The White Lotus is about rich people pretending to be posh while barely holding it together, in Who Killed Sara, it is a rich family pretending to be intact while hiding secret affairs and abuse to secret children. As the story unfolds, you discover the dark truths of otherwise decent-looking people and hence, both shows seem so realistic.

An amazing part of both shows is their personification of the backdrops. It won’t be wrong to say that the locations in The White Lotus played a major role in bringing out the depths of the show. It’s almost as if the location is a character in its own right. Well, something very similar went down in Who Killed Sara. The sunlit mansions, expensive wine, and tall security gates all create a visual calm in contrast to the chaos behind them.

This José Ignacio Valenzuela production isn’t just a murder mystery. It is a social thriller about legacy, guilt, and how far powerful people will go to protect themselves. Throughout the show, you will be dragged through a similar sense of discomfort that White Lotus did.

So, if you loved the awkward silences, unsettling discomfort and watching rich people fall apart, Who Killed Sara is the perfect watch for you if you are ready to question yourself and how well you know your loved ones, binge the show now.
