JioHotstar, the official streaming partner for HBO’s The White Lotus in India, seems to have censored the first episode of the show’s third season.
The latest season of The White Lotus has already earned rave reviews from critics, with The Independent’s TV critic Nick Hilton writing in a four-star appraisal: “Some will prefer Hawaii, some will prefer Sicily, but Thailand will have its own fans.
Last year, John Oliver made an episode of his Last Week Tonight available on websites titled oppositesnakes.com and howtoeatmangoes.com, and stated that he did so because he was unsure if the episode would air in India.
“So if this show does get taken down, and if you have friends or family living in India who’d like to see it, just encourage them to visit OppositeSnakes.com where they’ll find tons of fascinating facts on opposite snakes, as well as a 25-minute video titled ‘opposite snakes,’ which is, in fact, this entire story,” Oliver said.
