Babylon Show was supposed to be Carlos Latre's big comeback to Telecinco, after having left the network for a few years, but this was a format that promised so much yet delivered very little of substance.
This was supposed to be an ambitious show for Telecinco, but this only materialised in the guests being brought on. Luis de la Fuente is a nice guy, and the manager of the national football team is certainly an A-list booking, but booking quite a niche guest alienates a lot of potential viewers, and was also not a fantastic guest either.
The sad thing: it could have been absolutely brilliant. A less Telecinco format (i.e. Less celebrity gossip, more anarchic fun) and it could have been the new Crónicas Marcianas. Look at Late Night Lycett in the UK, which this show felt like it wanted to be, but was limited by some very poor production decisions.
