Hotel Babylon

Hotel Babylon is, by quite some margin, my comfort show. It paints a somewhat endearing and arguably enviable behind the scenes picture of what it might be like working in a luxury hotel and catering to a certain class of people, which I'm sure is anything but in reality. I found this show to strike the perfect balance between comedy and drama. Making light-hearted and somber moments but not afraid to get serious when it needed to be, something few shows in my opinion can do well. While all the cast play to their strengths and some wonderfully so, Max Beesley shines above all by bringing a certain charm and demeanour to his role that elevates the caliber of this show to something quite special and memorable. I fear the magic this show produced will never be repeated but I'm thankful it exists.
