Hotel Portofino

I was underwhelmed as well but I’ll watch another episode to see if it improves.

Beautiful to look at but a very cheesy script. Not well written and rather a predictable plot with one dimensional characters.

Cheesy and very predictable, I thought, but the scenery was lovely.
Not a patch on Downton!

I enjoyed this mainly because of the scenery but thought it was nowhere as good as Downton..but I will give it a second chance.

This was on last year as I recall but on a different channel.

I thought the first episode was more about setting up the characters and giving a little background to the story. I'll watch the next one and decide then.

I have just remembered; Portofino was screened on BritBox last year. I watched all episodes but I promise not to reveal any spoilers.

Filmed mainly in Croatia with a few long shots of Portofino apparently. I thought it was dire, poor storyline, poor acting and dialogue. Scenery and costumes were the only good thing about it. I won't bother watching anymore.

Only positive remark from me is the lovely scenery. Thought it was very weak. We saw it last year on Brit Box I think.
