Review of Gran Hotel

Gran Hotel (2011–2013)
2/10
Bad Melodrama to the Max
18 August 2016
Horribly contorted story lines that make no sense whatsoever, offered up for effect alone and arising out of nothing. Worse than a highly melodramatic afternoon soap opera. You've got to feel sorry for these actors who are slaves to the contrived and illogical twists and turns of what passes for a "plot." To a person though, they are all fine actors giving solid performances--more credit to them for being able to deliver this utter nonsense.

So don't be fooled by an auspicious first couple of episodes. The contrivances soon take over and will numb your brain like no opiate ever could. Plot threads vanish off into the night, never to be seen again. All the mysteriousness gets held together by actors playing what have to be the most unobservant and moronic characters to have ever roamed the earth. Time sequences skip around butter on a hot skillet. Things happen, then suddenly it's the day before.

Do not get your sleeve caught in this. You'll be very sorry you did.
