Hotel Beau Séjour (2016– )
7/10
Great premise, disappointing ending

There's a lot of interesting things here. The premise of a girl coming back from the dead to investigate her own death is interesting enough. Five people can still see her. They all have some clues about her last moments but they all have their reasons not to tell her anything.

The setting in a rural part of Belgium is a nice change as well as are the characters who are all struggling with one problem or another. For 8 1/2 episodes I was absolute glued to my screen

Unfortunately the ending spoiled quite a bit for me. A lot of unnecessary red herrings are suddenly thrown in and even worse: the killer of Kato turns out to be someone who was not one of the "Five" that could see her. This would have been fine if you could look back at the past episodes and suddenly things become clear (like The Sixth Sense) but there was no indication at all, no clues, no moments which now made sense. And for a series that was this good up to that point it really is a disappointment.
