So I started watching two weeks ago, Hotel Babylon, the BBC America import that also brought "Coupling" "Hex" and "Footballers Wives" (much tastier than "Desperate Housewives").
Starts out with Charlie (played by Max Beesely)) who wants the Manager position but he has to impress his boss Rebecca first. An old flame from another hotel Anna vies for it. In the end, he gets the position and Anna takes over his old position. Along with other colleagues Tony (Head Concierge) and other colleagues such as the sexy Head of Housekeeping Jackie, Charlie has a great life. But his past threatens to disrupt his new find life as he is starting this new one.
I have only watched three episodes and I am hooked. Even my sister likes it and is getting bored with American TV programming. I watch more Asian TV and she watches more Anime and stuff on YOUTUBE.
One episode had a young trophy wife who could pass for a "lady of the night" is insulted. A wealthy Russian's daughter wants a fake marriage to have her freedom and stay in London to a rock band staying at the hotel who defies the typical stereotypes of wild and randy parties.
Every character has their secrets and struggles but that is what makes for good TV. Rebecca's marriage is on the rocks and she lives at the hotel. Jackie and Charlie are indulging in mutual fling.
Definitely fun fun fun!
