Like much of the internet, I’m in a verbal loop of repeating Parker Posey’s string of accented words and phrases (“Tsunami” feels particularly nice to say out loud over and over as I put away laundry).

"The White Lotus" Season 3 boasts an emblematic performance from Parker Posey as Victoria Ratliff, a lorazepam-dependent housewife from North Carolina who is convinced dying would be a better fate than living a less-than-luxurious life -- a mentality the actress notes is rooted in pain.

Parker Posey is winning rave reviews playing Victoria Ratliff in the latest season of “The White Lotus.” The role was a long time coming.
