NEW YORK (CNS) The six-episode drama Hotel Portofino presents viewers with an unequal mix of banal storytelling and relevant social commentary. The series picturesque setting in the namesake Italian resort, moreover, fails to mask the amoral maneuverings of the titular hostelry s inhabitants.
Having first aired on BritBox in January, the glossy soap opera created and written by former journalist Matt Baker and directed by British filmmaker Adam Wimpenny debuts on PBS Sunday, June 19
“Hotel Portofino” is mostly a hodge-podge of elements from “Upstairs Downstairs”-like British historical dramas: watchable, but doesn't justify most viewers’ time.
