Hotel on the Brink

Kind of the classic formula. A hotel is failing, so an extravagant character steps in to show them all how to run it, the hotel rises, and of course the extravagant character is no longer necessary because everyone is now on the right track. The various characters scattered around the hotel make the series more digestible because you just get a little bit of everything – the quirky one, the quiet one, the tough one, the scared one, the stone-faced one, the enthusiastic one... plus every episode starts with great music and a good memory. I guess it doesn't bring anything new to the genre; the only interesting thing might be that it somehow manages to keep a really large number of characters in play, we don't focus exclusively on the two or three main ones. And of course every episode has an extra story. A weaker 3 stars. (17.09.2018)
