She's lost the plot
Camilla Läckberg has lost it. This is as bad as the appalling Lyckoviken. I didn't bother with the subsequent seasons of that failure and nor shall I watch the next season of this farrago of tosh.
As the series was coming to its end, I was wondering how all of the various strands of cheating, murders, love lives and betrayals would be resolved in the final episode. The answer is that they weren't. Not a thing was explained and we were left waiting for a second season which might just bring the sorry saga to its end.
Done on a shoestring, the series uses what is presumably a real hotel as a backdrop for one of the two rival establishments but the other one is never shown from the outside. Most of the action is on sets apart from a few outdoor scenes. The majority of the actors seem to have little other screen presence elsewhere and most of them are of hideous aspect, it's quite incredible. Where did they get these unattractive people from?
All the clichés we expect from Läckberg now are here - seaside village, everyone knows each other, impossible situations that simply would never happen. Just one example, a hotel employee is not sacked for deliberately causing a probable divorce between a rich, regular guest and his wife as well as threats of bad publicity.
Even the glorious Swedish summer and scenery couldn't save this sorry mess. Dreadful acting from the awful actors and actresses did nothing to help. The snogs were particularly bad as the people supposedly in lust clearly couldn't stand one another. One actress refused to be kissed at all despite being meant to be in a physical relationship with her lover.
This was just so dire. I shan't be waiting for season two next year.
