Review by SJFlann

Hello Viewers -- Stick with it. Yes, the first season was somewhat ""off Broadway'". But the second season the cast and production team matured G-REAT-LY and this along with our insight into Cecil and Bella's extended family merges. The cinematography, scenery and lighting are remarkably beautiful - watch on a big screen if you're able. The research of the black-shirt era in Italy in the Art-Deco era of the 1920's is absorbing and has not been done multiple times as with other historical fiction dramas, which are set between WW I and WW II.

--That said, still love you Poirot/Anthony Horowitz, you showed us how it's done. We hope Hotel Portofino get the green light for six seasons...then maybe a movie?
