I know there is a thread on this, but I wanted some recommendations from people who have seen it. I watched the first season, and I thought it was a huge build up to nothing, and it put me off the show. But I have heard that some of the other seasons were better.
I tried to watch HOTEL last night, but it still had the thing that I couldn't stand about season one--it seemed like someone who didn't know anything about horror watched some good horror movies and threw them all together. In this case, it was The Hunger and The Shining, two movies that do not mix well in a cocktail, let me tell you. I thought Lady Gaga had an awesome screen presence, and there is literally no one else I would want in the Catherine Deneuve role. But it still really bothered me. They even played "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus.
So are there some good seasons that are not derivative? Does this one get better?
