Young inmate Adèle Charki desperately accepts a bellhop position at the palatial Citadel as part of a day-release program run by the hotel’s all-powerful director, Édouard Galzain. But shortly after arriving for her first shift, Adèle is thrust into a not-so-secret power struggle where ambitious staff, influential guests, and outside networks all fight for control – turning the hotel into a breeding ground of manipulation and betrayal. As her relationship with Édouard quickly morphs into something more sinister, Adèle’s grit and ambition are crucial for her survival as she fights for a chance to redeem her future.

Bradford S @Radioheadpirate May 2 Strong first season. Well written and edgy. It’s a short season at 6 episodes but it is gripping and never boring. Looking forward to season 2.
