A friend of mine said I should watch "Hotel babylon". I was a bit reluctant because I have seen so many contemporary TV series and most are too hi tech for my taste. I love 60s and 70s TV, but I decided to give it a go. SO GLAD I followed my friend's advice because that is a bloody good series. The stories grab you immediately. You get to know the characters and they grow on you. Some characters leave the show in the third series but the scripts are so strong you keep watching it. Bravo BBC for releasing a total winner again ! FULL MARKS.

It is entertainment. In this case call it Nazi-exploitation but there are many movies with this theme. The only thing that was wrong are the so called "humor" bits and the "Staying Alive" sequence. The action scenes are good and yes there is a DC comics feeling about it all... Don't take this too seriously and watch it the way they wanted to make it. Lena Olin, once a beauty ("Romeo is bleeding") is aging bad. At first I didn't even recognize her.
